Diagnosing ThinkPad T510 shutting down after ~30 seconds: heat problem?

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/06/27

A while ago, [Wayback/Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: “The ThinkPad T510 problem was easier to resolve than anticipated: a dust problem after all. This video helped opening up the internals: www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrjoiH5LS3g When it re-occurs, the next step is remove fan, re-apply thermal paste then add fan again. Thanks for all the tips!”

Below are some pictures (including some great tools I made/have) which I made after disassembling according to this video: [Wayback/Archive] Lenovo ThinkPad T510 disassembly and fan demontage [no audio]. – YouTube

Lots of interesting programming learning games links via b0rk on Twitter

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/06/25

Every once in a while, b0rk (Julia Evans, of [Wayback/Archive] wizard zines fame) asks interesting questions like below that results in lot of cool links.

I have blogged assemblies of them before (see for instance Lots of interesting git links via b0rk on Twitter) and this one is no different:

[Wayback/Archive] Julia Evans on Twitter: “what are some helpful programming learning games? thinking of things like mystery.knightlab.com for SQL, and flexboxfroggy.com, and ohmygit.org especially interested in games that have helped you learn something”

The response was overwhelmingly good (I tried to indicate when games are not free or not playable from a web browser). I summarised it below.

Deleted Tweet Finder

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/06/24

[Wayback/Archive] Deleted Tweet Finder taught me there is another web page archival site next to the Wayback Machine and Archive.is (also known as Archive Today): GhostArchive which was established in 2021 right when I was recovering from more than a year of cancer treatments.

They have quite a few ways to address an archived URL of which this is the main entry point: https://ghostarchive.org/search?term=https%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2Fhisvault_eth%2Fstatus%2F1802834724114649422

Reminder to self: figure out the URLs that trigger archival.

Via

Note that the Google Webcache is not really an archival site, nor is there possibility to trigger archival.

The URL structure there is https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:https%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2Fhisvault_eth%2Fstatus%2F1802834724114649422 (the part after cache: is the page link after URL encoding)

Does Google Photos allow you to tag faces yet?

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/06/24

Reminder for me to check if Google Photo’s allows you to tag people in individual photo’s.

[WayBack] https://twitter.com/dflieb/status/1146174112890408960:

Yes, I am aware that Google Photo’s apps (on at least Android) allow you to attach names to photo’s is selects as unrecognised.

I mean the other way around: have photo with one or more faces on it, then tag each face by hand.

Via: [WayBack] Google Photos will let you manually tag faces it doesn’t recognize

Symbolen in de trein voor de diverse soorten zones in coupés/rijtuigen

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/06/21

[Wayback/Archive] www.ns.nl/binaries/_ht_1528098947038/content/assets/ns-nl/stationsinformatie/voorzieningen-in-de-verschillende-intercitys.pdf is voor mij nieuw, want ik reis nauwelijks per trein:

Werken en rustzone

Deze zone is ingericht om rustig te reizen.
Hier kan de reiziger lezen, werken, slapen of
zachtjes praten. De stoelen staan daarom
zoveel mogelijk achter elkaar en niet
tegenover elkaar.

Heat development in the car according to time and outside temperature – Hitzeentwicklung im Auto nach Zeit und Außentemperatur | Statista

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/06/21

Most PNG/JPEG versions of this get the bottom right corner wrong (it should read 66 Celsius, not 68).

I have colourised the table as most of the PNG/JPEG versions have.

Inonica Smeets over de vraag “Ik heb uitgezaaide prostaatkanker, hoe groot is de kans dat ik over tien jaar nog leef?” | de Volkskrant

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/06/17

Op een prachtige manier beantwoord Ionica een vraag waar ik vanuit mijn voor van kanker ook mee geworsteld heb: [Archive] Ik heb uitgezaaide prostaatkanker, hoe groot is de kans dat ik over tien jaar nog leef? | de Volkskrant

Bij mij komt het terug, ik weet alleen niet wanneer. Als ik naar statistieken over de referentiegroep kijk, dan heb ik al ruim 70% overleefd. Sinds anderhalf jaar zie ik controles en bebehorende uitslagen dan ook weer met opgeven hoofd tegemoet.

Ook lukt het me gestaag steeds meer dingen te doen, hoewel ik niet een enorme bucket-list aan het afwerken ben of ga. De uitzondering is bepaalde mensen die ik te lang niet heb gezien toch nog te bezoeken of te ontvangen.

Misschien komen er nog een paar dromen uit, maar ook als dat niet zo is ben ik tevreden: ik heb fijne mensen om me heen en het huis voelt als een soor vakantiebestemming.

Dank je wel Ionica voor de mooie verwoording. Hopelijk vinden anderen er ook houvast aan.
