Re: Thoughts on AV, Firewall, and VPN

Enable DNS over HTTPS in all windows /Block tracking and cross-site cookies, cryptominers, fingerprinters Also block all permissions where possible eg camera, ...

Re: Thinkpad X201 random shut downs
Yes probably false positives but I would probably set an outbound rule in the "Advanced Firewall and Advanced Security" so it can't phone home. Easy to block the program.
Generally I do this where possible and it is easy in W7.

Re: x220 Windows dual boot - msata?
In my X220 I have an MSata drive as my system drive and so far there doesn't seem to be any heating issues. As discussed I think the location is important. On my other drive I did have Linux Mint in a dual boot config but this was posing issues for backing up my main system which is W7. I am still h...

Re: ThinkPad X220 overheating
There are plenty of tweaks that you can make in the BIOS depending on your power needs and usage. I am running the modified 1.46 version. Under Advanced/Processor Config there are options as well as the normal Config/Power settings. Because of your issues I would go hard in limiting power then see h...

Re: So, who's ready to take the covid-19 vaccine ?
I never heard any of them make claims as ridiculous as "viruses don't exist", which is effectively what you are saying with the repeated appeal to the original, unrevised, Koch postulates. I have never said viruses don't exist but I am trying to understand what is happening. What I do believe in is...

Typical "debate" with an anti-vaxxer goes somewhat like this: You and me can claim the other is unscientific and just doesn't understand biology or virology.

No virus can pass the original postulates as written in the 19th century Well yes this seems to be the case. So what does that tell us? Are viruses something that is made in a lab? What are exosomes? Can we just change science to fit in with the narrative? If we need to culture something to get the...

In other words, the people asking for evidence of the existence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus responsible for Covid-19 are specifically wording their request to rule out obtaining any evidence that the virus exists.

I actually said that "the jabs "appear" to activate new variants". I don't shy away from this statement because this is what the data says. Whether it is intentional or not is another question.

Re: Why manufacturers stopped using the "Classic" hinge design?
Is it a touch screen development? One of the first things about the T440s that’s noticeable is the new hinge that holds the touchscreen. It’s now what Lenovo calls a “drop hinge”, which allows the screen to sit completely flat on a desk. In the previous design (the Thinkpad T430s), the screen tilted...
