  • I used to do absolutely everything on my phone, until I got a ThinkPad.

    But yeah, I went from a terrible HP that had SMR HDD and a TN panel where I constantly had to move my head depending on what I wanted to read because it had no contrast to 2-in-1 ThinkPad with pretty nice touchscreen IPS and NVMe SSD that I can charge with the same power bank and wall adapter I use for my phone.

    I am not really joking with that screen. When I wanted to do something beyond text, I’d either connect it to TV, or use a HDMI USB capture card connected to my phone.







  • High pitched noises sometimes. I have an audio spectrum visualizer app installed to confirm these. But they can be pretty weird as they bounce around. You’ll get these heat spots. Unfortunately, I feel like my ears are degrading now.

    Anyway, dimmable LED lights are often a problem due to PWM. Only full brightness is quiet.

    Smell, I don’t even know what the hell that was. There is or was something in the back of one bus. I wouldn’t say it’s smell, but… something. Just a spicy punch that doesn’t quite let me breathe in. I noted down the license plate if I’ll experience it again to confirm it’s the same vehicle, but this wasn’t the first time, though unfortunately I didn’t copy it that first time. Same line though, so possibly same vehicle as well.
    But I am not sure if I was the only one, no one was visibly bothered, but who knows.
