On windows? try flushing DNS cache ipconfig /flushdns as admin.

Are you aware of the samsung 840 performance problem with its TLC NAND? Why all the subvolumes under var/lib? cant you start with a simplified set up

No the samsung SSD ahh x1 thats a very complex fstab ahh x 2 btrfs - do you routine filesystem maintenance from the likes of https://github.com/kdave/btrfsmaintenance EDIT: dont run /var/tmp in RAM its meant for permanent tmp files that are active over boots EDIT: why are your grub partitions btrfs?...

I've been using Samsung solid state drives (SSDs) in (2) of my T61 laptops with no problems. OS is current version of openSuse. Recently I have been having a variety of problems with these units that appear to be related to the SSDs. Question: In the Middleton BIOS, I have set "SATA Controller Mode...

Still has Thinkpad name

AMD/Lenovo just officially announced both: https://www.notebookcheck.net/Lenovo-AMD-ThinkPads-A275-and-A475-announced-with-Bristol-Ridge.246018.0.html Presumably there will be Ryzen/Raven-Ridge based models in early 2018 at some point. Poor decision Thinkpad T/X brands shouldn't be tainted by such ...

Given the general negative view of AMD CPUs pre Ryzen i'm amazed Lenovo PR are even contemplating anything non Ryzen.

the code is XML based.

Good God.

Run into XML in a previous life?

Coreboot & Co just got another job! The Lenovo A275 is coming next, a Thinkpad X270 lookalike with AMD CPU and AMD GPU. And AMD DASH, which can spy on you the same way as IME (Intel Management Engine) does. Your IT administrators can easily access laptops, whether they are powered on with a respons...

Sorry for bumping, but it seems that (so far) they're going to have Bristol Ridge, not Raven Ridge. (AKA, Construction cores instead of Zen.) Basically, terrible awful no good CPUs. Any links to the A275/A475 having Bristol ridge as i can't find any that don't talk about Ryzen. Plenty about the E s...

That case looks a bit different to me. He does not get the connection at all.

Correct that thread refers to installing the firmware file, if you have at least once connected then it's a red herring.

Have you enabled powersaving via tlp or similar utility?

Not if I internally unplug my webcam! Just use an external one when necessary.

Reaches for the 60 types of masking tape i have in my office cupboard. I'm sure a few cm will cover the cam.

Cant forget software optimamiztion. The RPI was relased 5 years after porgrammers got used to programminy on phine hardware, and with a big market, it was easy to sell programmers. For the few thousand left still hanging on to their P4s, there isnt too much reason to make a ultra efficent browser Y...

Why can an RPI at 700mhz play netflix and youtube fine but a P4 which is 10 times faster cant do junk.

My habits a bit more demanding then the average joe.

How demanding for example and would you expect a T42 to compete with a 8 core.

The main factor there is how compressed the data is. The less compressed, the better playback. Youtube happens to be very compressed, so maybe a Blu-Ray over USB could fare better.

No big deal, like i said i use my t43 mostly for work.

how about local file playback? To my experience, if you max out the specs, light 1080p playback is possible

my results are playing downloaded files

You mean: ? https://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles_pdf/92p1840.pdf It makes it seem a lot easier than it really is. One of the pre-requisites is to remove the hard disk drive, the removal of which is the reason I'm trying to remove the bevel in the first place, ie to get access to ...

I wonder if this has something to do with Debian switching back to ffmpeg (from libav). I performed a live upgrade (apt dist-upgrade) from Debian 8 to 9 when it came out, and encountered an issue with video playback. What program are you using to play 720p videos, and what issue are you having? It'...

don't know about your experience but to mine, Microsoft edge does 720p done. Not on debian 9 it doesn't ;) Funnily i switched to debian from arch when arch announced they were planning to depreciate 32bit, i feel debian 32bit runs better on this machine than arch did. But arch would play 720p files...

The T30 seems really badly designed.... I've removed 30 screws so far and haven't managed to get the bevel off. Can't see the T30 getting re-assembled :( Most thinkpads of that era need no more than 10 screws in the correct order to remove kb/bezel, as RBS says download the HMM and with a ruler you...

2668-84G handles 480p fine via youtube-dl - 720p is a no go now wonder what Yt have done.

Unless you have a Q9000 or QX9300, everyday tasks are limited to basic web browsing and not much past that.

really? posted on my t61 which does more than basic with standard c2d 2ghz.

15in 4:3 IPS great for writing SOP + FMEAs

2 UK kb models are available Chicony & NMB - I've found the NMB ones best FRU 42T3471.

They are all listed in the HMM linked in forum header.

Good will be interesting to see them benchmarked.
