Mother, may I have some more pixels?

Still has a stupid Windows logo on the super key, though.

As of 2022 I use a Thinkpad x200 computer, which has a free initialization program (called Libreboot when it was installed, but now called GNU Boot) and a free operating system (Trisquel GNU/Linux). It was not sold that way by Lenovo, however; small businesses buy them used, recondition them, and install the free software. This is one of the computers endorsed by the FSF. I've used other Thinkpad models that similarly respect users' freedom since the early 2010s.

Annoying little stickers telling me things I already know about the hardware I own do not belong on the fucking hardware I own. I meticulously remove that shit before I even turn on the computer for the first time.

I remember my first Intel CPU came with a whole mess of those "Intel Inside" stickers and I was slapping them on everything. At the time, it was funny because most shit didn't have a computer in it yet.

I have prepared the images to be flashed💾, an EEPROM programmer (Raspberry Pi Pico H)✏️ and configured my Lenovo Thinkpad T480's BIOS settings to receive the flash💻. Now I'm just waiting for the test clip to arrive in the mail. ETA tomorrow. Libreboot, here we go.

I don't think the GNU/Linux name is even correct anymore. The amount of GNU utils is not as high as it once were and there are so many other components that are important or even essential now that it is somehow unfair to even name GNU so prominently.

This keyboard design hasn't been on ThinkPads for at least 10 years (except for the 25th Anniversary ThinkPad), sadly.

That freaking Windows button that I have to disable for every laptop

thanks for nothing, I hope you get what you deserve

I wonder how many millions of hours around the world have been wasted on this one fucking button
