IT guy from Germany
When I was in Australia, a bunch of people asked me about the public transport here and all of them were baffled when I told them how shit it was…
I have no idea where this perception that everything must be perfect in Germany or Europe came from but it is sooo outdated.
Speaking of tickets; in NSW you just tap your Opal card when entering/leaving train stations. It makes so much more sense and is so much easier.
I know that people in English speaking countries tend to like German accents, can’t really imagine why, though. I’m trying my best to lose the thing lol
Over here in Germany people seem to like British accents I guess. God forbid you’ve got an eastern European or even just an east German accent, though, there’s a ton of people with prejudice against that.
You could show Musky what it’s really like to live on Mars
Those things aren’t nearly as cool, though (IMO)
ThinkPad W701DS. Depending on configuration it has an intergrated Wacom digitiser w/ pen, a built-in Pantone colorimeter, two RAIDed hard drives and of course the glorious second screen that pops out.
Funnily enough, I had a burger with pineapple on it when I was in Australia. It was great, I really liked the juiciness and taste the pineapple brought to the burger.
Granted, it was at an Oporto (which is kinda like upscale McDonald’s with a Portuguese theme to it for the uninitiated), but it was pretty good nonetheless; I’d have it again.
Nice! I lived near Ravensburg for a while a couple of years ago; nice region and they still get heaps of snow in winter so it’s infinitely better than where I live in BW…
Oh really? Where to exactly?
Thanks, me too. It’s gonna be a long way to go still but I’m determined to make it happen.
Regional NSW; I haven’t decided where exactly but Wagga is awfully nice
Germany; hoping to move to Australia soon-ish, though
Right? Especially considering how easy it is to get to the CPU on the T440p…
You pretty much have to fully take apart the T540p and flip the mainboard over to get to the BIOS chip. Same for CPU upgrades.
Is there an easier way to mod the BIOS that doesn’t require taking the whole thing apart? AFAIK there was an IvyRain-esque mod in the works
How is the 4910MQ temperature-wise; did you have to do a heatsink mod?
I’d love to do a BIOS mod on my T540p to get rid of the WIFI whitelist but I can’t for the life of me take the thing apart without damaging the keyboard; it’s such a bad design.
That’s a shame… T440ps are cool machines; I wish I had one. I’ve got a decked out T540p but it’s such a pain to work on
I recently spent 6 weeks in Australia, with much of that time spent outside. I did wore a hat for the most time but didn’t really bother with sunscreen; I got a nice tan but that’s about it.
I mostly just wear normal clothing at home; just jeans and a t-shirt or a sweater. I don’t really hang on to worn out t-shirts/sweaters, unless they have some kind of special meaning to me. Once clothes get bigger holes in them I just throw them out or re-purpose them as rags…
So yeah, I just wear the same stuff at home that I would wear outside.
Tokio; it’s just way too busy for me and all the tourists (particularly the ones that don’t have any manners) do their part.
That’s even better then. I just used an Opal card, I’m sure my credit card would’ve worked fine but I tend to be extra cautious when It comes to things like that, plus it’s a nice souvenir
