Oh man we're going to tell the NFL, FIFA, and the others that fans are out of line and must be prevented from watching any games.

P.s. you're being downvoted for a gatekeepy asshole comment.

Yeah I wouldn't worry about having a non-p. I'd bet the extra battery life would be worth the slight hit to performance.

And yeah, Thinkpads are tanks, and I appreciates that about them.

Boy. Arrogant and wrong too.

You're not even replying to the same person. The 2nd person didn't state an opinion on OneDrive at all.

Oh right on, I didn't realize rsync was just a differential copy--thays dope! I hope I didn't come off paranoid lol.. I work in a PC repair shop (mostly Windows machines) and I am not used to the average consumer giving a cleaver answer about backups and drive maintenance.

Congratulations again on the new machine. Hope it treats you well!

So about that. I don't use rsync, but any regular bulk reads/writes will wear an SSD quickly!

What I meant was, if your drive(a) isn't new with the new build, I would recommend it. I've been seeing failure rates on SSDs with hard use (like weekly backups) at only the 3-5 year mark. And usually when they die its all at once.

Sure thing! So Lenovo has the PSREF library which is awesome about old hardware specs, so you can always look up what you could have got in your machine back when they were new.

Here's a link to the .PDF for your T440.

One of the reasons I like Thinkpads so much is the support of the community with mods, parts and so on. Feel free to hmu if you need Thinkpad help lol.

The windows taste better when they're shorter

So I don't have a direct answer about vanilla/s/p board compatibility but my question for you is, why not just get a T440 board? They can be had on eBay for $80-100 USD and will drop in. You can get up to an i7-4600U, which is more than fine for daily computing with an SSD and at least 16GB of DDR3-1600.

Feels like a buddy prank to me. Do you have any friends that joke like this?

This is your answer, OP.

As a backup you can have a VM with Windows and the full apps if you need them (like Access for instance).

I like your build a lot. Don't forget to move your OS to another drive via clone or something occasionally... Your old drive will wear out eventually. If it's SSD, they often just work until they just don't, so it's not like the old days when an HDD would just slow down and give you a warning.

Cheers!

What are your needs? I work in a PC shop and answer this question everyday lol

I built Lego 42179: Planet Earth and Moon in Orbit

Such an excellent set!

Gemini guessed that this is "Gone Home" by Sam Greenbriar. No idea if that's correct but it seems plausible.

..nice.

Jumping in, I also have a lot of BPD experience (example, a marriage of well over 10 years).

This is very BPD-adjacent. I'm not saying OP's gf has it per se, because there is no way we can know from here, but this is definitely on brand.

If you read between the lines, the social conversation could written as this:

"Heading home, I need support"

"I'll support"

<Doesn't support>

<She feels abandoned, fight or flight kicks in and it turns her attachment-avoidant, results in silent treatment>

<OP gives space, which is interpreted as further abandonment>

<OPGF can't take it anymore, and asks questions that feel like they're out of left field because in fight-or-flight kicks in, clear thought is nearly impossible>

<OP finally gives reassurance that he didn't abandon her>

<Normalcy continues>

RyanLiu@lemmy.world read through this comment chain, therapy is the answer here.

Yeah I don't blame you

There's two on eBay right now, and one of them has a signed letter from the author.

Don't have that type of two-to-one in LEGO bricks. You'd need a 1x2 plate and then plug the head stud into the middle indexing pin of said plate.
