Currently running mint on a 15+ year old HP laptop but I want to update to a 'modern' second hand Thinkpad. The second hand market is just full of different model numbers and I'm not sure how to filter to what I'm after.

I get most tech basics (ram, ssh) but I'm not sure what all the models numbers, generations or processors mean.

Looking for something with a memory card spot, HDMI output and ideally touchscreen.

I don't use it for gaming but have an ultra wide screen high res monitor (possibly 2k cant quite remember) that I'd like to take advantage of.

Larger SSD and 16gb ram wouldn't hurt too but I assume I can upgrade them.

I don't need the Yoga tablet style folding.

If I don't take meds I feel I should be doing things and then feel bad when I don't.

Or if I do take meds I get a lot of things done and feel productive but zaped of energy.

Hobbies are either invested in and dropped or I just feel 'bored' and don't want to get any of the stuff out to do them. If they stick around a bit longer they then feel like a chore or become a larger project and just another thing in the to-do pile and not relaxing.

Where is the off button and how do I relax?

I was using the appimage of Orca with the Bambu in LAN only mode running firmware 1.07. For the initial conenct (once only) it was via the Device tab in orca, add device via access code (and IP). I think this needed the Bambu proprietary network plugin. I had no cloud profiles and would send the print over WiFi to the Bambu. This also appears to be the same in the appimage of 2.4.1.

I want to use the flathub 2.4.2 as its easier to update. However, I'm having issues connecting to the Bambu.

The option to connect in the flathub version seems to be prepair tab, add the bambu preset, wifi icon, where I then have the options of:

• Host type: (defualts to octo/clipper)
• Printer agent: (defaults to Bambu lab)
• IP
• Device UI
• API/Passcode
• HTTPS CA FILE:

When trying to connect I get an error re octo print being installed on the host and I can't get my printer to connect.

Happy to follow a guide but they seem to be for the older setup or the older drama re Bambu and 3rs party support. What settings should I use or should I be trying to install the network plugin? Can I just connect via access code like in the appimage?

Its not foolproof but I swear I saw somone maintaining a list, possibly hosted on github.

It was bringing awareness to (fully) open source apps/devs that had started using vibe code or partial AI in the app/software code in some way.

I can't even remember some of the more surprising offenders but wanted to check over my installs.

It might have been android based but possibly not.
