Re: Movies, Flicks, Films, Videos, cinematography

Watched No time to die Bond film and was pretty good - the wife watching with me simultaneously accurately guessed various parts of the plot and had to have important bits explained to her.
Anyway was a classic Bond romp. Mostly

Re: IBM/Lenovo ThinkPads

Where do you guys get your Euro Thinkpads from?
I have a french site "https://www.backmarket.fr/" which is OK they do seem a touch over priced and I'd be very happy with a qwerty-esque keyboard (or pop the caps off a frenchy)

Re: IBM/Lenovo ThinkPads

I like my new laptop.
I still mistake the Fn and Ctrl keys for the Thinkpad arrangement.
I am tempted to give this to elder child once she needs a computer to do some actual work on and get my self a half not shit X1 again.

@ivanovnegro, congratulations to your purchase and welcome back to the T club. :)
So my question to Wux, does a QWERTZ UK keyboard layout exist at all?
Not to my knowledge, no.
Did they just swap the keys caps over ?

But teaching the thing is great, but often not a substitue for day to day real life experience.

Holy crap! I did not see this one coming. The other teamleader ( I am the other) in my department said he had enough of it and just want to do the regular stuff. Probably for the best, but not of sure what will come out of this. Will keep you updated. Not really sure enough of your work, does that ...

I hope the meeting went well.
I've been having some sort of waking up dread, I thought it was various forms etc which need to be filled in and boring life stuff. Those all seem to be mostly done now and it's not hugely better.

Re: Distros of interest

Yeah that does it - have to remember to halve the current browser window, then tear off the tab, then tile that one, then un-tile it to plonk it back onto the halved browser then Super up to go to fullscreen.
so it's not impossible, just more steps than i3wm ("so go back to i3 then!"
