I delivered two refurbished ThinkPad laptops to customers today.

A ThinkPad X13. Ryzen 7 processor, with system migration from the owner's previous ThinkPad T460 - upgraded from Windows 10 to Windows 11 (legacy to uefi conversion, SATA to nvme, et cetera).

The other is a refurbished ThinkPad T560 with Linux Mint Debian Edition to replace a failed Toshiba laptop. That customer was already using LMDE on the Toshiba so just had to physically migrate the SATA SSD from the Toshiba to the ThinkPad T560.

Moved my blog after 21 years.

Finally just moved to a static site from wordpress.

Perhaps this will make me blog more.

Christmas eve 1914 where they could've ended the great war by not continuing to kill each other and destroy all they made, but they honored their masters and went back to murdering each other and the cycle still continues to this very day.

Humanity continues to be the loser in this insane game called war for the nut jobs who foment it and it's not an honor at all to do this to each other nor are we the beneficiaries of the conflicts, the one's who fomented it are!

The less you rely on the government, the less power they have over you.

On the ThinkPad X13 that I am getting ready for a customer, the CPU clocked down to only 0.40 Ghz in Windows 11 (not sure if it is specifically a Windows problem). Super slow.

I've seen something like this before on older ThinkPad laptops, so I knew what to try first.

Lenovo System Update was installed, so I ran that. Took so long to check for drivers and updates. A BIOS update was available. Applied that

After applying the BIOS, the slow clocked down CPU problem was gone.

Have any of you run into this clocked down BIOS issue on ThinkPad or other laptops?

#FuriOS goodies:

The #FLX1 Linux phone not just supports MTP (file sharing), RNDIS (network adapter) and charging another device via USB. It can also act as a virtual CD-ROM drive! No more putting ISO files on USB sticks to rescue a broken PC. Just download any ISO file on the phone and immediately serve it to another device. The possibilities!
