These remains are "read" by the sensor as unknown "fingerprints" and lead to three unsuccessful login attempts, which leaves me locked out for three minutes. 🤷 <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/timeout" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>timeout</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/coffee" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>coffee</span></a></p>

Fedora Project<p>We can say all kinds of great things about Lenovo's work in Fedora - how they collaborate with the community in our spaces, how they work with developers for testing or finding bugs, and more.</p><p>But the most important thing is for you to buy their laptops. If you're thinking about buying a new ThinkPad, look for the Linux config on their website and buy it there.

Data Artist<p>Hello <a href="https://mastodontech.de/tags/FreeBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FreeBSD</span></a>-Bubble, I've got the opportunity to get a <a href="https://mastodontech.de/tags/ThinkPad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ThinkPad</span></a> T15 Gen2 for little money. Any experiences?</p>

It has nothing to do with the computer's load and actually feels more like an unintuitive feature than a bug. Can someone maybe enlighten me?

Johannes Kastl<p>As I was asked recently, where is the sweet spot regarding a used <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/thinkpad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>thinkpad</span></a>? Are the USB-C ones (480/580 and later, IIRC) already affordable?</p>

Any (German) shops to look at or avoid?</p><p>After a quick search, the price spread is from 40€ - 150€. My default is to get a 40€ one, but I haven't needed to research manufacturers for a while so maybe the group knowledge can help?</p>
Florian 'floe' Echtler<p>Found a truckload (20+) of Lenovo OneLink Pro laptop docks 🤔 These are obviously not the newest stuff and have been superseded by USB-C years ago, but maybe some school or hackspace is running a bunch of older ThinkPads and could use them? Any suggestions? Would give the whole lot away for shipping costs.</p><p><a href="https://hci.social/tags/thinkpad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>thinkpad</span></a> <a href="https://hci.social/tags/recycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>recycling</span></a></p>
