Deep down inside everyone loves Thinkpads for having not changed a bit.

Journeyman Geek

lol

@jcrawfordor: i waited something like 2 months for this laptop

and its awesome

and yes, there's changes ... the keys are slightly wider and shallower, and they did this wierd thing with a double length esc and del key

jcrawfordor

4:15 AM

Well, and they've definitely gotten thinner and lighter. I just like that they've kept the exact same conservative styling for so long.

hi @jcrawfordor nice blog post there.

jcrawfordor

4:38 AM

thanks. it's a bit long and rambling, unfortunately. well, more than a bit long. hopefully only a bit rambling.

Sathya

I still haven't read it completely :p need to take a deeper look at it later.

currently under my read-it-later list :)

jcrawfordor

haha. My read-it-later list keeps getting longer. :)

Sathya

same here :P

Journeyman Geek

4:59 AM

eheh

@jcrawfordor: my dad thought it was a netbook

jcrawfordor

I think Engadget has been referring to devices in that class as "notbooks"

Journeyman Geek

lol

its a subnotebook

also, this is like, THE perfect school notebook, IMO

jcrawfordor

I think my next laptop will be a 14", I get tired of carrying my 15.6" between classes.

although I'm really looking at the x120e

Journeyman Geek

I was looking at the x120e if i hadn't been able to get this

Well, i THOUGHT i was getting a x220i, but i ain't complaining ;p

jcrawfordor

I thought I wouldn't mind because the 15.6 fits in my bag fine, but the reality is I increasingly don't take my bag to class, so I'm looking for a laptop that's lighter to carry on its own.

Sathya

5:08 AM

@JourneymanGeek did you get it then?

Journeyman Geek

i'm on it right now ;p

sweet little thing. Just two minor annoyances, one of which is fixable

i'm not used to the new lenovo giant delete key, and its displacement of the insert key

and it didn't come with the optional trackpoint tops

Sathya

aha

jcrawfordor

when I was working Lenovo service, I replaced a guy's trackpoint cap once just because I noticed it was worn... and he wrote back about it. I think it changed his life, he was so happy.

Journeyman Geek

lol

i think its something like 30 quid for all 3 sorts

apparently the current lenovo default is the mushroom cap. I like the concave cap

Journeyman Geek

5:43 AM

hmm

paradroid

7:04 AM

@JourneymanGeek Yeah, concave ("rimmed") is the best. You can get them on eBay for a few pennies, so I'd not worry about which one you get with it

I used to use the classic cat-tongue one for ages after the new ones came out. I was a late convert.

I even changed my X40 back to classic (it came with domed).

Journeyman Geek

I swapped it to the one that i took off my r51, which i had been using on my r61

also, mystery yellow port is 'always on', not USB 3.0... which makes more sense ;p

still haven't found any way of working out the monitor is

god its a sweet box tho

boots in something like... 10 seconds.

paradroid

@JourneymanGeek What mystery yellow port? Which model laptop are you talking about anyway?

Journeyman Geek

x220 - the port on the right side is yellow and looks... odd

paradroid

SSD?

Journeyman Geek

no. that's the scary but

paradroid

7:19 AM

I think that is just powered USB even when it's off.

Lucky.

Journeyman Geek

it came with a 320 gb hard drive (NOT the 160 i was told). They apparently did something with the boot process to speed it up

yup

paradroid

Which CPU?

I think only the i7 ones have USB3.0, IIRC

Journeyman Geek

Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2410M CPU @ 2.30GHz

wierdly, its got a 32 bit OS

paradroid

And which creen option did you get? Did you get the IPS screen? It's a pity they switched the aspect ratio

Journeyman Geek

with 4gb of ram ._.

i have no idea which screen it is

and there seems no softwareish way to tell

paradroid

7:21 AM

I think you can use the same serial when you reinstall with a x64 Windows OS

If the colours look great, it's IPS.

Journeyman Geek

there's no serial at the bottom. I got recovery media that's 32 bit only tho

oh, they do

and its BRIGHT

well, this specific model ISN'T in tabook

so i can't check there

paradroid

That will be the LED backighting, but you are more likely to have the TN screen

You can see the specs by looking up the model number. What model is it?

Journeyman Geek

4291-D58

paradroid

I'm jealous

Journeyman Geek

^^

I was actually expecting the core i3 model ._.

paradroid

7:25 AM

Are you sure that model number is correct. Nothing coming up

DMA57361

morning all

Journeyman Geek

yeah

that's the odd thing

it MIGHT be a special/bulk order or something

paradroid

Well, here's the specs for the closest model number there:

www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/product.do?template=/…

You even have the Gobi WWAN/GPS card

Journeyman Geek

not from what i can tell

and no camera

paradroid

Oh, it is a different model number anyway

Journeyman Geek

7:29 AM

yeah

still

it weighs almost nothing, i hardly notice the tiny screen

and the keyboard is actually slightly BIGGER than my r61

or it feels that way

paradroid

With its lightness and very long battery life, I think they are not going to bother making a X220s version

tombull89

@DMA57361, might want to check out M.SU later on...

discussion community design

Journeyman Geek

@paradroid: Its almost perfect ;p

paradroid

I don't think they have changed the chassis much since the X200/X201, by the look of the pictures I have seen

DMA57361

@tombull89 already seen the SU version, (♦'s get all new meta questions in our inboxes), but thanks :)

Journeyman Geek

7:31 AM

i think the screen is larger than the x201

paradroid

apart from the inferior aspect ratio they are using. Apple must be making dodgy deals with the screen manufacturers

tombull89

@DMA57361 nice...although that would annoy me a little. You fancy one?

Journeyman Geek

keyboard is a bit quirky, giant esc key, giant delete key...

paradroid

Yes, slightly larger, but shorter

DMA57361

@tombull89 tbh I'm not sure I'd use them

paradroid

7:32 AM

They introduced that keyboard on the T series in the previous generation

Journeyman Geek

not TOO fond of it for typing in the darl

dark

paradroid

Why? There's the ThinkLight

Journeyman Geek

i touchtype

paradroid

So what's the problem with the dark???

Journeyman Geek

and i stay up later than i should. The thinklight on this... is rather bright to do that

i keep hitting del when i want to hit ins

until i get used to the keyboard ;)

paradroid

7:35 AM

Any new ThinkVantage stuff?

Journeyman Geek

power manager dynamically tells you your power usage

and how much time is left

so... its 2 hours with everything and pickles. 6ish with everything low, but network

I need to test with network shut off

paradroid

Erm, it did that on my X31. But they stopped the Watt display on the X200s for some reason. So it looks like it's back now

Journeyman Geek

other than that...

nothing's preinstalled ;)

paradroid

and it has always done time left

Journeyman Geek

they install it on demand.

the R series didn't have the watt display, if i remember correctly

paradroid

7:37 AM

really? nothing? not even System Update?

Journeyman Geek

not even that

paradroid

crazy

but what about TrackPoint drivers??

Journeyman Geek

i think only power management stuff, 'airbag' and recovery is preinstalled

hm, those are, but those are autoinstalled even on vanilla 7 installs on thinkpads i think

paradroid

What happens with the Fn+F?? function keys?

Journeyman Geek

er..

those seem to work

ooh

paradroid

7:39 AM

then there must be ThinkVantage stuff installed

Journeyman Geek

it has keyboard noise suppression for the onboard mic

yeah, but not everything

paradroid

It does that by having two mics

Journeyman Geek

still, cool feature

it also has something for turning the system sideways for reading like a book that i haven't tested yet

paradroid

The Intel graphics drivers have that on any computer

CTRL + ALT + Arrow keys, by default, IIRC

Journeyman Geek

eh, i remember that. its horrid since it never turns around the mouse ;p

paradroid

7:41 AM

or SHIFT + ALT

Journeyman Geek

well, this claims to have some special thing for it

i'll test it when i need it ;p

paradroid

Any other new features?

Journeyman Geek

er...

i have no idea ;p

hm

the trackpad?

paradroid

You did not get dual storage, with the mSATA SSD?

Journeyman Geek

no

paradroid

7:43 AM

Boo to the trackpad! Disable it!

Journeyman Geek

its an odd one tho. its like a big... textured thing, and the whole thing is one big button

paradroid

If you can set it to only be used for gestures, I suppose that would be pretty good.

Ah, copying Apple

Journeyman Geek

ooh

yeah, it does the pinchy zoomy thing and all

paradroid

Damn, I want to get one quickly

Journeyman Geek

XD

i DID wait 2 monthsish

paradroid

7:46 AM

I hope they do Core i5 with IPS screen. It's a pity that there is one less mPCIe slot now, so you cannot have both WWAN/GPS and mSATA SSD at the same time.

So I will have to forget dual storage and get a 2.5" SSD

Journeyman Geek

there's a core i5 model with IPS

paradroid

I don't need large capacity anyway, I have my private cloud going on.

Journeyman Geek

i think those are labelled as 'prem' in tabook

paradroid

Great

prem means IPS screen?

Journeyman Geek

yes

paradroid

7:48 AM

I need a the latest tabook. Got a link?

Journeyman Geek

hm

i can't get a straight link cause its a PDF

google tabook. first link

paradroid

you just right click the link and copy link. n00b!

lenovo.com/psref/pdf/tabook.pdf

Journeyman Geek

that gives me a giant link ;p

google.com.sg/…

like that

paradroid

Weird. I'm using Google Chrome, and it does not give the Google redirect link.

Journeyman Geek

ahh

on FF

paradroid

7:52 AM

I wonder if that new L Series has the classic rubber finish? They seem a lot better than the R Series it replaces

As it has all the enterprise stuff now.

Intel vPro remote management

Journeyman Geek

but... THAT WILL LET THE MAN REMOTELY BRICK YOUR PUTER! THE NSA GUY SAID SO ;p

paradroid

That's another thing I should have enabled on my X200s. The Intel AMT > Intel Anti-Theft technology

Journeyman Geek

or prey? ;p

paradroid

And if I installed Prey I would have my X200s back now, with the satisfaction of getting the thief busted too.

Yeah. Prey. It even had webcam and GPS. I should have installed Prey and kept the Guest account open. Would have worked.

I kept on meaning to but never got around to it. :/

Journeyman Geek

tends to happen

paradroid

7:57 AM

I was waiting until I did an OS reinstallation

Journeyman Geek

@Wil what do you need a developer for?

Mokubai

What the? I have a "news feed" in the top corner of my chat now, where did that come from?

Heya @IvoFlipse, good holiday?

Ivo Flipse

@Mokubai I'm not seeing it

@Mokubai still having a holiday, just at home right now :P

tombull89

It popped up briefly earlier.

DMA57361

@Mokubai I got that too, someone's added the SU.meta posts as a feed item in "ticker" mode -- chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/info/118/root-access?tab=feeds

Mokubai

I like it, I wouldn't mind knowing how to get it back if I click "dismiss"

Ivo Flipse

9:07 AM

@Mokubai You don't AFAIK without going into the rooms feed settings or something

its meant to reduce the inline spam of question feeds and such

@DMA57361 good job on the scheduling on gaming.blogoverflow :)

DMA57361

@IvoFlipse np, hello btw, good time away? (and are you actually back?)

Ivo Flipse

@DMA57361 my GF says I'm not back yet ;P I was just reading stuff on Hacker News

DMA57361

lol

Ivo Flipse

I was actually planning on spending some time on my own blog this week, but I ended up doing pretty much nothing and trying to enjoy E3 through a 3G connection

DMA57361

heh, always the way. Too many distractions...

Ivo Flipse

9:13 AM

@DMA57361 But I enjoyed doing nothing, so I'm not complaining

Sathya

@DMA57361 that would be me.

DMA57361

@IvoFlipse f/e, a breaks always nice

Sathya

hey @IvoFlipse

Ivo Flipse

@Sathya hi @Sathya

DMA57361

@Sathya ah ok, it's not a problem, it's just the feeds screen doesn't say who set them up (that I can see)

Ivo Flipse

9:14 AM

Just got this disturbing image from that phd-er from London @DMA57361

turns out my horizontal axis is flipped :P

can you guess the implication?

Sathya

jet fighter?

ufo?

DMA57361

@IvoFlipse the horizontal is flipped? oh dear... and presumably it means the paw allocations are wrong?

Ivo Flipse

@DMA57361 bingo! it means I've effectively swapped all my left and right paws :P

Mokubai

@Sathya DNSSD is useful, some of out bits and bobs are Bonjour aware and it makes it a lot easier to navigate to them

Or Zeroconf or whatever you call it

DMA57361

@IvoFlipse how easy to fix?

Ivo Flipse

9:17 AM

I'm a bit scared to simply flip the switch and mass convert those though

Sathya

@Mokubai but what's that doing in your FF address/toolbar?

Ivo Flipse

@DMA57361 well I have a back up of the database, so I can 'undo' it. But I would probably write a function that simply changes 1-2 to 3-4 and vice versa, just need to make sure it figures out which to change to what and then apply it. Else changing 1 to 3 would result in all 3's becoming 1's afterwards :P

Wil

@IvoFlipse You are here!? Thought you abandoned us and only go to the fitness SE now!?

DMA57361

@IvoFlipse yeah, using an intermediate number is easier imo: 1->5, 3->1, 5->3

Mokubai

Wil

9:19 AM

... It is a friend I know, looking for a programmer so trying to help him out

DMA57361

@Wil lol, he's been hiding in Fake Programmers all this time ;P

Ivo Flipse

@DMA57361 As for the displaying, I actually believe all my axis are flipped, so if I change 1->3 I need to mirror my average contacts as well

@Wil this room is a time sink :P

DMA57361

@IvoFlipse lol... in which case maybe it's reality that's flipped and your software is just right all along ;P

Mokubai

@Sathya Click a button and you see all your network zeroconf devices, it's neat. I can mess with our printers without ever going near an IP scanner.

(but that's not the reason why I have it in the first place)

(just a bonus)

Ivo Flipse

@DMA57361 well I was planning on testing that by uploading a human measurement, where I know the difference

at least I know where the big toe goes and such :P

DMA57361

9:21 AM

@IvoFlipse sounds like a sensible idea

Sathya

@JourneymanGeek yaaay!

Journeyman Geek

its the core i5 model, not the core i3 model. Only complaint i have is... its got a 32 bit OS and 4 gb of ram

Ivo Flipse

9:27 AM

@JourneymanGeek You can fix one of those two

anyway bbl

Journeyman Geek

@IvoFlipse: well, lenovo has some modifications to the OS, and the restore disks are 32 bit. Unless i can use a 'retail' OEM disk (and i only have 32 bit of that too), or ask lenovo for disks for a model that dosen't exist on tabook..

its not a huge issue, its just odd

and its a 320 gb hard drive, not a SSD. but with 12 second booting, i'm fine with that

Wil

Urgh, finding a decent "todo list" type application for Windows is a PITA

Sathya

@Mokubai evernote?

tombull89

for me, notepad .txt files are good enough. Small files, readable on all platforms, don't need any extra software.

DMA57361

what's with SO migrating all their really old questions recently..?

Sathya

@DMA57361 probably people who aren't aware of dont migrate old crap

Mokubai

Hmmm, ToDoList seems to be pretty neat actually. Maybe once I get my android tablet I'll look into a webby/android tasklist

Subtasks with time allocated cascade up to the parent task to give a reasonable estimation of time, easy to move tasks. It's cluttered, but not too bad...

DMA57361

@Sathya indeed, there just seem to have been a lot recently :(

Sathya

hmm.

@DMA57361 the redesigned 10k tools might also be a reason

DMA57361

12:21 PM

yeah, that's what I was thinking, makes it easier for users find questions to join in with

Any Facebook experts around or shall I ask on webapps? ... Done something a little silly and can't see how to undo

tombull89

@Wil I use facebook, woudln't say I'm an expert though...try me, if not, ask on web apps.

Wil

I tried to unauthorise an application which worked, but then I went to put it back... Just curious to see if I could... but I haven't got a clue what/where it went... I went to "Add to my Page" > "App"... but can't see where to undo it/where it went :/

This is from another (First application I could find) of where I clicked... But what Page is "App" :/

tombull89

@Wil not sure, don't really use apps, I'm too careful.

Wil

No problem, thanks anyway... will ask on webapps shortly

Also, to anyone who doesn't know... go here dropbox.com/gs and if you complete 5 steps (which most people will have already done) you get a free 250MB to dropbox! Also, here - a few easy steps for another 640Mb - dropbox.com/free

Journeyman Geek

2:36 PM

^^

i totally forgot i did that XD

Wil

:)

tombull89

also not a fan of dropbox...I'm...*too careful* :P plus my home upload is not that good.

Journeyman Geek

i just use it for quick photo sharing

i'd gladly swap it for sparkleshare or whatever, once its got dedup and such

Wil

@tombull89 I love it now... It just comes in so handy - My brother is at university and much easier than via email... plus, if I need something urgent, I have it on there and can download... anything sensitive is encrypted, but I only have one or two sensitive files, everything else is just there for convenience

tombull89

I get why it's popular but if I want to share or store something I'll put it on my webserver, more storage than I'll get from dropbox.

Wil

2:42 PM

@tombull89 I completely understand, and I was the same... until I started using it! You can't really appreciate something until you use it - I still use my web server all the time, but, if I just want a quick thing to put a file on all my computers, dropbox is quick and works well!

tombull89

The sync features of Dropbox would be tempting, I have a number of computers + laptops at home with all different bits on.

Bugger it, i've not got any plans for the weekend, you have a referral link? Let's give it a go.

sorry, @Wil, if you've got a referral link ping me, I'll be off shortly.

Wil

@tombull89 hehe - don't feel like you have to, but thanks! - db.tt/5tPYOoO

sorry, just saw the notification...

I still use my NAS and it is just a nice extra, I sync my diagnosing tools which are a pain to keep updated, and a few other files

but also, as I said, right now, the main use is my brother and my dad who are away from home - and it is so much easier to plonk files in a directory than give a link
