Although the recycling company could have saved me some effort by refurbing it, but..well, needs must.

The biggest areas of concern at the palmrest and the back cover for the LCD assembly. The LCD itself is mucky, but some cleaning should make it look better. The palmrest and the back LCD assembly panel seem to have broken plastic. Plenty of screws later, and I have them off. Lenovo don't make it easy, huh?

So, the X230 accepts Qubes 4 easily, but the apperance could be a lot better, so, time to get some new parts and refurb this laptop to look better, and cleaner, too.

More about winmine 

Well..when you look at an earlier version of Minesweeper..I think he does have a point.

Sarcasam directed at Microsoft with flippant 45 mention 

Looks like Sergio Chiodo can rest easy now, since MineSweeper is gone from Windows 10..unless he's still angry at microsoft for releasing such an OS, and not to mention that everyone and their dog has programed the game, telling him to fuck off on pain of the US getting involed..again.

Well..after a bit of hunting around, I have a laptop that will work with Qubes OS 4. Many others have tested the X200, and it falls over, like..a lot.

So, I'm going to try the X230. It's like the X220, but it has USB 3 on it somewhere.

NB and honourifics, a thought 

You know, I've been thinking. Since we tend to use "Sir" as an honourific for Males and "Ma'am" for Females...what would one for Non-Binary people be?

I mean, they do deserve the same respect as everyone else, right? It's only fair that they have one.

I expect fartface to pardon Zuckerberg on the basis of using data to help his friends in Russia. Fucker.

Sexual Harassment mention 

So..aparently sexually harassing people is now considered a joke, huh? Fucking hell..

Hmm, maybe I should set up a nextCloud with a raspberry pi to store stuff..

Henceforth the Orange One shall no longer be known as POTUS.

He is now SCROTUS which stands for “So Called Ruler Of The United States.”

Boosting it since it was a few months ago, and I do have a lot of followers more since then. :P

UK and US Pol 

Well..if you didn't get confirmation that the UK is going so far right, then I just saw something on a screen about celebrating because 'getting our country back' or some fucking Nazi nonsense.

I'm not fooled by May, she follows Trump like a lovesick puppy, and so do a lot of people.

You all be nazi bastards for all I care, I'll keep doing the right thing, even when you try to push me to violence. I won't fucking do it!

Seriously, it's just a bunch of Baby Zebra Finches beeping at someone trying to use a keyboard.
