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.

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.

Time to RGH your console with the XL patch, get a 5TB harddrive in there and slap all of the games you can find on that thing.

Windows 95

Suse Linux

Yoper Linux

Windows XP

Slackware

Windows 10/11

Fedora Linux

“Relapsed” to Windows for a while because I became a graphic designer and running a somewhat current Adobe suite on wine was impossible (it works now).

Slackware has been amazing, but having to built so much stuff from scratch takes too much time nowadays.

And those first Suse years were too rough to keep using it as a daily driver.
