Laptop touchpads wear over time.

On X230 thinkpads, you can replace just the plastic part that's worn. It could be 3D printed if you want to do that. Warm air at 150C will soften the adhesive, allowing you to separate the plastic from the PCB.

I do it all the time. Good as new!

EU has started an Economic War with Russia + most are losing. Why is #EU prepared to go down path of self destruction for a War that only benefits #US #NATO agenda? Will politicians responsible for fueling the Military + Economic War be held to account..?

I recently came across a github repository that included malware that was disguised. I've published a piece about my experience with de-obfuscating it. (Link - https://ayedaemon.github.io/post/2022/08/analyzing-simple-powershell-malware/)

Although I have very little to no experience with powershell scripting or Windows malware, my general understanding of operating systems and computer languages enabled me to get through it.

I still couldn't figure it out completely, so any comments and advice would be greatly appreciated. :)

I did a few of these recently. 3 in fact: 2x T500 and 1x T400. SPI flash upgraded to 16MB Winbond W25Q128FVSIG + quad-core mod (wire in 2nd pic is prep for that). Core 2 Quad QX9300 on each machine.

I don't sell T500/T400 anymore, but people still send them for me to work on.

I offer a send-in service on my website, to do coreboot installations, but I also do other upgrades such as the flash and CPU upgrades.

The service is here:
