"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

They can pry my obsolete and low-end (read: not covered in that awful rubber, that turns back into crude oil after a while) ThinkPad from my cold dead hands!
BTW how does screen upgrades work for T440/L440? (Both have the same screens from my research)
I've had good luck stripping that with isopropyl alcohol.
Yes, but the L440 does not have such issues.

I bought a t480 this year, and I'm kinda wondering how long I'll be able to get replacement parts for it.
A lot longer than you think, since other manufacturers also use similar screens (eDP is a godsend of a standard), and not everything is completely changed between generations. In fact, I can put 450/550 trackpads into my ThinkPad (common modification), others come with more caveats (putting classic keyboards into 430 chassis needs some modifications, etc.). Currently I'm in the process of acquiring a Core-i7 CPU and 16GB of RAM.
