I switched laptops. I was using a ThinkPad L390 Yoga. It had a touchscreen that I almost never used. My son was wanting to have a laptop with stylus to use with Krita for artwork, so the L390 will be going to him. For me, I am now currently using a ThinkPad T470s and liking it. Good to be back with a T series ThinkPad. T470s has a few drawbacks, namely the two internal batteries that are prone to fail and a bit more expensive to replace. Other than that, it is a really good design. #thinkpad #t470s #krita #L390

Today I sold a refurbished HP laptop... specifically because it had a DVD-RW drive. Customer wanted to be able to make DVDs of his own talks to physically give to people. I told him that some people may no longer have DVD players and that he could put a video file of his messages on a USB drive to give to people who didn't have a DVD player. #sneakernet

I don't think I've seen this one before. "The referenced account is currently locked out and may not be logged on to." Picture from a client that he sent me this morning. I just delivered and set up the computer yesterday. He restarted and it worked fine. Hasn't shown the error message again. #Windows #Window11

I'm testing out OwnCloud Infinite Scale (OCIS). I think it may be a good fit for some of my clients who want to get away from using Microsoft OneDrive. OCIS is the successor the original OwnCloud. It is written in Go, not PHP. It also just focuses on file sharing (and syncing with the desktop client) and doesn't try to do as much as NextCloud.
