Hello everyone! It's been a long time. Recently I got a few notifications about people wanting to download the original torrent file, since Google Drive has disabled old share links . Since presumably no one is seeding that torrent anymore - I certainly am not - the torrent file is probably not very...

A bunch of random crap for sale. All prices are OBO and include shipping within CONUS. Make offers, ask about detailed specs or combined shipping, or request specific parts (RAM, hard drive, wireless card, etc.) put into those machines! :mrgreen: Everything goes to recycling if not sold in a week. T...

For sale here is my trusty X60 Tablet. Due to an upcoming move, it will have a one-way trip to the recycling bin unless someone stops it in time. :roll: This computer has the fastest Core 2 Duo CPU available in the X60, and a 1400x1050 SXGA+ screen that is immune from the bubbling problem! L7400 CPU...

Edit: Sold! For sale here is my artisan, handcrafted FrankenPad workhorse. It has been serving me well, but due to an upcoming move, it may go into the recycle pit - unless someone here decides to rescue it. :roll: This is almost the fastest 4:3 screen ThinkPad you can ever get, with a gorgeous fact...

Edit: please disregard, sold that 701c to another forum member.

Think I have an empty battery casing, but no cells or PCB board.

I also have an entire 701c with re-celled battery for sale here: http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=121390

That was quick. Sold! Due to an upcoming move, I'm selling my restored ThinkPad 701c. The casing is in fair condition from its age. The entire machine has been taken apart and cleaned thoroughly. Screen works great, keyboard (US English) works and folds properly. Hard drive has been replaced by a CF...

You have a history of backups for any important files, right? Right? :mrgreen: AFAIK the new-generation office files (docx, xlsx, etc.) are natively compressed, basically xml files inside zip containers. If different versions of Office have different compression presets, it could result in identical...

If your client relies on such an exotic piece of old software, then carrying a "one-trick-pony laptop" is a reasonable price to pay, I would say. :roll: Several things come to mind: It may be possible, although unlikely, that the software actually works in the DOSBox emulator with some kind of paral...

How "as is" are we talking about? Still inside the UltraBay adapter: so you basically need an UltraBay dock. I haven't seen any hotswappable PATA UltraBay docks anywhere. Haven't seen any hotswappable SATA UltraBay docks either, but it looks like SATA UltraBay devices have the same slimline SATA con...

Try this formula:
This should give you the contents of Sheet1!C1 when placed in rows 1-3, Sheet1!C2 when in rows 4-6, etc.

Although I must say using Excel to generate scripts is slightly weird.

They have their own website ( http://www.gdp.hk ) with their own production facilities. Why do they need this type of "sponsoring", are they that bad? They're probably using Indiegogo simply for publicity. By all accounts they've already completed the current design (and is not taking any more sugg...

I've always like the idea of UMPC. Unfortunately I did not have any money when they were popular, and now that I have some disposable income nobody makes them anymore. :roll: So I did seriously consider getting one of those GPD Win machines. However my decision is to hold off for a while, because 1....

It's best to find the original antennas made for your model. Try eBay, perhaps order an entire LCD back cover with antennas still attached if you can't find individual antennas. Any metal / conductive object near an antenna changes its resonant frequency, so the stock antennas are tuned to perform b...

If you have a spare (or 2), set the two next to one another and cut off the difference from the 'tall' one. Turns out it takes a bit more than that. Apart from cutting the side wall shorter, the corner standoffs inside the hole must be removed as well so that the cap actually sit low enough and doe...

PS: Crazy idea, is there a way to plug the screen on another pc with an adaptator ? If it's possible i could dissasemble the screen and put it on a custom frame. That's certainly possible in theory, and I might even have come across someone doing that on the Internet, but I can't find it right now....

One question tho... doe the NETGEAR Nighthawk AC1900 still have the backdoor for NSA? If so, how can one disable that using the firmware that comes with this unit from Netgear? What is "the backdoor from NSA"? The NSA may have many backdoors in many things, many of them still unknown to the general...

A quick search indicates that the NETGEAR Nighthawk AC1900 (R7000) is supported by DD-WRT. http://dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/DD-WRT_on_R7000 On the other hand, the stock firmware of R7000 seems to be feature-rich, performs better on certain fronts (NAT) than DD-WRT because of proprietary drivers, and...

Well, my Surface Pro 3 got lost / stolen. Assuming I don't hear back from the police, I would like to sell the two docking stations I have for it. Both docks are fully functional and look 99% mint. #1 comes with the original AC adapter. $180 OBO shipped within US. #2 comes with a high quality 3rd-pa...

What does updating firmware do for you? I would install either OpenWRT, DD-WRT or Tomato depending on which one supports the hardware. In the past when I used those devices as my primary router, the package system of OpenWRT is great for all kinds of interesting software like vpn servers, UPS monit...

I've been using a T440s for work lately. I would like to switch the TrackPoint cap from the default soft dome to soft rim, but apparently the new chiclet keyboard uses "low-profile" TrackPoint caps that are shorter than classic ones, and a quick Google search doesn't turn up any low-profile caps oth...

Many consumer wireless router have the ability to create a separate guest network. I know I've seen router models having such capability with stock firmware, but I don't have specific model numbers, because any router coming into my possession will have their stock firmware replaced instantly. :mrgr...

What kind of resolution and refresh rate are you looking to push? The general consensus seems to be that a GTX 960 is sufficient for 1080p60, 970 / above for higher resolutions.

I have a GTX 960 2GB, and it runs Metal Gear Solid V very well with max settings at 1080p 60fps.

Yes, it's a smart card reader. Examples of smart cards include chipped (EMV) credit cards, SIM cards used in phones, CAC cards for US military / defense personnel , Estonian ID card , etc. Smart cards are often used for authentication, digital signature and encryption. A domain-joined Windows laptop...

Sure. Your biggest hole. Wifi. Turn it off. Use ethernet for everything. Otherwise I can and will sniff your packets, analyze them, and perform a MITM attack. If you must use WIFI, setup a RADIUS server. Limit the DHCP lease time of your scope. Change your WIFI password daily. Use only strong passw...

Your bigger problem is that you cannot upgrade from 32-bit Win7 to 64-bit anything. If you really want to use 64-bit Win8 you have to do a fresh install.

A T60p should perform quite well with simple word processing and email usage. However, it would struggle with heavy webpages especially with Flash, or 1080p video playback.

Windows 7 is proven to work well. I haven't tried personally, but there seems to be success stories of Windows 8 as well.

I was vague on purpose. But if you really want, head over to hackforums.net or bust out your copy of TOR browser and check around on the DarkWeb. If I can sit outside someones house in my car with a laptop and a Pringle's cantenna, I can perform a MITM attack, OS fingerprinting, inject a malformed ...

It's so weird seeing the replies in this thread. Everyone seems to fixate on the issue of having a webcam enabled , but doesn't care a single bit about actually having unauthorized RATs (remote administration tool)/trojans on the computer. Hacking webcams is trivial. Scan a range of IP's, install RA...

Thanks everyone! :mrgreen: The matte paint used here is Rust-Oleum 279179 "Camouflage 2X Ultra Cover" black spray can, found in my local Home Depot. I believe any spray paint that says "camoflage" or "ultra flat" would achieve the same result; in fact I was inspired to do this after seeing the finis...

Yeah, no, Nintendo does not make ThinkPads. This is a Nintendo 3DS portable game console, with a ThinkPad-themed paint job. Pics ahead: The 3DS on top of my trusty T61 frankenpad. The texture looks similar, but the real ThinkPad's rubbery coating is more reflective at the right angle. https://lh3.go...
