Customer sent me a dead T500.
I checked, and saw a big drop on vint20 (main 20v dc rail).
Sure enough: burned (shorted) decoupling capacitors. Can happen sometimes, with ceramic caps. Very few fuses on T500's, so stuff just burns when there's a short.
*Six* decoupling caps, on this 20v dc rail, all 2.2uF. I removed 3, cleaned up the scorch mark and booted; the machine works.
The remaining caps still filter ripple noise effectively.
If you have a dead ThinkPad, don't chuck it. Send it to me!

Just in case you haven't noticed yet, Briar has an official desktop client.
That's the good news! Unfortunate it is still beta and many functions are still missing. (no group chat)
If you're curious to give it a try anyway, you'll find it here:
https://briarproject.org/download-briar-desktop/
Feel invited to report your opinion about it by mentioning @briar.
If you're into coding, you're obviously welcome to join in on the matter too.
Briar is free software and written in kotlin.

#ukraine Some open source investigation into the so called #Bucha massacre. Important to read entire thread. Seems well done.

#Canada Something we should all be thinking about is our double standards. If we truly believe in democracy, we should apply our “standards” equally. I don't hear much about the terrible massacre that's been happening in #Yemen for years. Far worse too! http://espritdecorps.ca/on-target-4/on-target-war-in-ukraine-highlights-canadas-hypocrisy" | 42l - nitter

Hello, Mastodon. I'm Spike.
I founded and run a comics publisher, Iron Circus Comics, out of Chicago, Illinois.
I draw and write, and am currently updating a story-heavy, low-fantasy comic called Blikada, which is definitely *not* about Elf Bolshevism. Honest.
You can find links to both these ventures on my profile page.
This Mastodon will be primarily for art.
Thanks! Here's a self-portrait.
Machine Translation:
A lie, even repeated a hundred times, does not become the truth, and karma is still a bitch. Don't forget about it.
My response: Actually, I'm not so sure about that. Propaganda seems to work quite well when applied skilfully. Some of the most believed "truths" are often 100% lies.
Ложь, даже повторенная сотню раз, не становится правдой, а карма та ещё сука. Не забывайте об этом. #StopNazi
