Then you have lost control of your life and shortcuts are the least of your problems.

Yep, Adobe software still phones home even when it’s cracked. But there’s supposedly a list of hosts you can block to stop this behaviour: https://a.dove.isdumb.one/list.txt

Yes I bought it ~3 years ago directly from Lenovo and the rubber feet look just like the ones in that photo.

I have an L390 Yoga (i7) and these feet are indeed way too large.

The device is painful to use even with the correct feet, though - at least if you’re using Windows. It’s constantly overheating, because the cooling system is just reused from the L380 and can’t handle the heat of my i7 8565U processor. But hey - at least the marketing people were able to put “4.6GHz” into the specs.

I have to undervolt the CPU to make it run cool and prevent thermal throttling, which is not possible anymore if you’re running a current Windows version.

That thing is probably the last Thinkpad I’ve ever bought, to be honest.

Also, if you’re wondering what that port with network symbol is, it appears to be a proprietary connector used on ThinkPads requiring an “Ethernet Extension” adapter to be usable.

Yup, the port is called “MicroLAN” and the adapter was 30-50€ back when the device was new. It’s of poor quality (the rubber of the cable on mine is turning into a sticky mess) and entirely passive.

Lenovo must’ve looked at Apple’s accessory profits and thought they wanted to make money off of crap, too.

So, if the image you want to put into your email is not hosted somewhere, what’s the best way to go about this, ensuring compatibility?

You can base64-encode the image file. It’s super-jank, but it works, even in Outlook.

Summertime hours reduction (from 35 to 32 hours).

lol these are my regular hours (webdev in Germany with a 4-day work week)

KDE. Been using it since v3, tried various other systems like Gnome, Enlightenment, XFCE etc. and I’ve always been coming back to it. KDE just feels very intuitive and easy to use.

Slay the Princess

Sehr gut.

I turned that shit off after 30 minutes, it was so bad. :D Most regrettable purchase of my life.

It was definitely a combination of genetics and bad oral hygiene.

I’m in the same boat. 35 and half of them are already gone, my mum had them all removed when she was 40. My dentist is not crazy enough to take them out all at once though, that sounds insanely painful. I hope you’ll get through it soon.

Mine got fully away after buying a really good (and expensive) gaming chair and a new mattress. The gaming industry has done so much for our health, it’s insane. :)

Yes, I fucked up here. :D

My morning starts at 12am12pm. God, it’s so awesome to work in the tech industry. I’m just wired like that and always have been. Back in school I was not compatible with the system of getting up early and often missed the first two hours.

Similar experience: One guy was seeding all of the old uncensored episodes of The Three Investigators and I’m so grateful for that. It’s pretty popular here in Germany, but despite that, no one seems to share it. There are episodes on Spotify, but they are censored and some of the music has been replaced with a modern rendition.

Commander Keen 4. I still love the whole series and play those games from time to time.

After that, my dad got me Doom, Wolfenstein and Duke Nukem 3D. Giving hookers money as a seven-year old in a video game was glorious, the old man has good taste.

Shake it, baby!

I wasn’t lying when I said that I go to the cinema almost every week! :D Tomorrow I’ll watch the new Deadpool movie.

These ones I really enjoyed in the last few years:

• The Whale (whole room was crying at the end)
• The Quiet Girl (surprise Irish movie that made my emotions come out)
• Spy x Family - The Movie (great humour)
• Civil War (shocking images, the mood change was brutal)
• The Boy and the Heron (my first Miyazaki experience, what a wild ride)
• Wonka (I’m not into musicals, but this was awesome as fuck)
• Inside Out 2 (great orchestral soundtrack, well-written and relatable)
• No Hard Feelings (worst trailer of all time, but the movie was very wholesome and funny)
• Furiosa (I’ve watched that in IMAX with Dolby Atmos. FUCKING awesome.)
• Robot Dreams (Cute animation + Twin Towers, nice combo)
• Encanto (Disney + great plot + emotions)
• To Catch a Killer / Catch the Killer (great crime movie!)
• Barbie (they criticize Mattel and it’s really empowering for women, I liked it)
• The Batman (dark, gritty, brutal - that’s how it’s supposed to be)
• Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (I can’t even describe how awesome this is)
• Dungeons & Dragons (I never played DnD, but this was well-written, creative and entertaining)
• The Super Mario Bros. movie (great humour and Jack Black does an awesome singing performance)

These movies are solid. Not great, but still very enjoyable:

• The Fall Guy (cool stunts!)
• Challengers (a bit weird, but I liked the message at the end)
• Fly Me to the Moon (solid acting, interesting premise, not every joke works)
• The Bikeriders (a movie about a biker gang. Cool.)
• Dune Part I + II (great SciFi flicks, but veeery long)
• The Teachers Lounge (we produce one good movie per year here in Germany. This is one.)
• The Holdovers (good acting, but the plot was stolen from someone else, sooo…)
• Migration (very well written for a childrens movie)
• Next Goal Wins (funny soccer movie)
• The Creator (omg, those visuals!)
• A Haunting in Venice (good mystery crime movie, but don’t expect to be able to solve the riddle by yourself)
• M3GAN (another murder puppy movie, but pretty modern)

And these movies are pretty bad or just disappointing:

• Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (Family Drama: The Movie)
• Problemista (I wanted to like it, but it’s just weird, unfunny and incoherent)
• Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (the disappointing fourth entry of a great trilogy)
• Miller’s Girl (this movie is just an excuse to put Jenna Ortega in tight outfits)
• Demon Slayer: Hashira Training movie (half of the movie is just a rerun of the last episodes, fuck you)
• Madame Web (bad writing, bad CGI, bad everything)
• The Beekeeper (Jason Statham kills everyone, but it was just boring)
• Wish (all bad things about past Disney movies combined into a soulless new one)
• Killers of the Flower Moon (way too long, laziest fucking ending I’ve ever seen)
• The Equalizer 3 (Walking around and nothing happens - The Movie)
• Falling for Figaro (an opera movie with the most cliche romance plot ever, total garbage)
• The Little Mermaid (all underwater scenes are dark as fuck, what is this?)
• 65 (Jurassic Park with no budget and Adam Driver)

…and then there’s also “The Zone of Interest”. I wouldn’t say I enjoyed it, but it’s definitely an experience. You could’ve heard a hairpin drop at the cinema and it was packed with people. No one bought popcorn. I wish every fascist here in Germany would be forced to watch that one and think about their stupid beliefs.

I believe the Despicable Me series peaked with the second one. Everything after that feels like soulless cashgrabs to sell Minions merch.

The only good thing about the fourth movie is the opening music.
