Same here. It's not so bad. It get's really bad when I have to work on older PHP5 projects, though. Or shudder WordPress projects without OOP.

They should've renamed the movie to "Speedo Pedo".

My new boss just cancelled all of our daily standup meetings that were introduced by the previous management. Reason given: "I have seen nothing valuable here during the last two weeks."

I like him.

Can confirm - mine has neither, it's a challenge.

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)

Sehr gut.

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.

Some of them did it partly in software, though - and they were less compatible. The European FAT models all worked like that.

Sadly, the fully-backwards compatible models are all ticking timebombs, unless you get the RSX chip replaced with a later model. It's a problem with the underfill on the chip which resulted in the YLOD, which is basically Sony's variant of the red ring of death.

I have an early FAT model and it still runs stable, but I'm afraid to use it because I know it will fail eventually if I do. It does look sexy asf though!
