Just started experimenting with cold brew. I noticed the extremely low water ratio of 1:4 as compared to your garden variety manual pourover of 1:15 to 1:18. Is it as thick as I imagine it would?

How much do you usually make in a single batch? How much (before diluting) would you put in a single serving?

Hello good folks in the Lemmy Thinkpad community!

I have recently built a T420 from parts. Things have been running well. Since it's mostly from scraps, it's far from perfect, but it works.

One of my pet peeves is some discoloration along the edges and corners of the top cover. I am guessing this is the part where the paint got worn off from bumps and frictions. Is there a way to restore it? I honestly don't care about the rubberized coating, but having that consistent matte black would be really great.

I was thinking of that plastic model paint. Would it work well?

Also, the back part of magnesium chassis that's supposed to be painted black seems to have its bare color exposed.

I plan of having a maxed-out T420 for fun. Thinking that Firewire isn't particularly useful these days, but a second LAN port might. The Sub Card of T430 has a LAN port along with the USB and I was wpndering whether or not it's compatible with the T420.

Tried uploading an image I took with my phone camera into a Lemmy post, and failed.

I gotta admit that the image was indeed large (4MB). Refusing it would be reasonable. After resizing the image, it was successful.

What I found to be unreasonable was the error message. It returned a bunch of JSON garbage on the pop-up.

I ended up having to move from my phone to my computer and went on the network inspect tool just to see what's going on (a "file too large" error).

I would suggest a clearer error message. I don't know how this could be implemented, but it will be a deterent to a lot of people.

Hi everyone, I've neen having this issue when running KDE wayland with multiple screen on my Thinkpad W530. I'm using the nouveau driver.

The primary monitor is fine, but the secondary one is glitching.

This is tested on Gentoo as well as Debian. I know it's not hardware issue because it runs fine on X11.

Anyone have any idea about this issue?

Edit: I should probably mention that I was using DisplayPort in the photo, but I also tried VGA and it gave the same result.

Edit1: I was able to narrow down the problem somewhat. Switching the BIOS setting to "Discrete only" for the GPU (thanks coreboot!) seems to make the glitching go away! This means the Optimus would be to blame.
