OwO what is that?
I guess i finally have usable laptop, which is also thinkpad and looks and feels cool and stylish as fuck

Big thanks to @pr070cryp70n1c for it and even bigger thanks for preinstalling canoeboot, so i can continue delaying buying all hardware […]

##EnUnDiaComoHoy El 5 de octubre de 1992 IBM lanzó los portátiles ThinkPad, introduciendo innovaciones como TrackPoint, ThinkLight y sensores de caída, convirtiéndose en un referente de la computación empresarial y espacial, y marcando un hito histórico en la informática.

oh and i do want to put a 1tb ssd inside but ssds are expensive asf rn. i'm debating whether to keep the backlight keyboard j got for it or to switch it out with the 7 row. i do like the backlight over the thinklight and it feels sturdier compared to the pre-t430 keyboards

CHALLENGE TWO:

Make every human interface behave correctly.

TrackPoint.
Three physical buttons.
Middle-button scrolling.
Touchpad rejection.
Fn hotkeys.
Lid switch.
ThinkLight nostalgia, despite there being no ThinkLight.

`thinkpad_acpi` loaded and immediately requested hazard pay.

thinklight on non-7 rows keyboard feels wrong

ThinkLight was a better solution than illuminated keys IMHO -- One LED vs Dozens, but also it was easier to look at. In the dark the soft, unfocused glow is easier on the eyes compared to the sharp edges of backlit keys

THE THINKLIGHT YEAH YEAH YEAH THATS LIKE THE CUTEST PART OF MY T420 ^w^

A followup this #ThinkPadThursday on the #ThinkPad X1 - as this week I have the X1 next to the first X1 Carbon. Spot the differences....

Have you used a device out of the X1 line? Which one?

i lose the thinklight but i gain the thinkshutter

Best effin purchase made this year was the ThinkPad X230. No backlit keyboard but thinklight is nice, i7 model, the battery is surprisingly healthy, screen is superb, strong sturdy reliable.

I just want to give it the stupendously rare dock with a BR drive, if BR films can be viewed in linux.

Не, именно для клавы у меня обычная подсветка + ThinkLight стоит. Уж очень я ThinkPad-ы люблю. Но вот что вокруг происходит, не видно ни черта. В общем, строго узконаправленное использование. Но у меня над ноутом ещё монитор в 32 дюйма, и вокруг ноута всякое.
Мне нужно больше света!

posting got objectively worse at the exact same time we lost the Thinklight

@sig I miss the ThinkLight my T520 had. :blobfoxsad:

Also, yessss~ I very much appreciate the full docking stations and port replicators that the older laptops had. Really miss those, too.

been using my thinkpad as my main laptop for a bit now and god it is just immediately so much better to use and navigate on in just about every way. the thinklight is such fuckin bespoke technology turning that shit on so i know what ear my ear buds go in makes me feel like a god

While i LOVE this thinkpad (T14s Gen 3 amd) I really really miss the Thinklight (the above light near camera area)
i'd love a thinkpad with RGB LED keys and an RGB LED thinklight that points down at kb.

Does it have the ThinkLight for on the go playing? Also, I assume every time you clear a row in this in the background it's inputting data into a spreadsheet.

do you know how i could get the thinklight working on my T510 with haiku? lol
December 28, 2025 at 12:39 PM
the thinklight would never stop. it would never leave him. it would never hurt him, never shout at him, or get drunk and hit him, or say it was too busy to spend time with him. it would always be there. and it would die to protect him.

in an insane world, it was the sanest choice.
