    That’s kinda what I did to use a computer fan as a normal fan. I got one of these power adapters that let you pick a voltage, cut off the plug at the end of the cable, cut off the plug on the fan’s cable, and connected the two. Maybe that’s a dumb way to do it, but it’s about as expensive and definitely quieter than getting a proper fan to blow air at my plants so their stems and branches grow strong








  • Wow, the X220t is a thick boi! I tend to agree that weight is a far more important factor than size. Carrying my old laptop around was a pain, I think it weighed around 2.5kg, maybe a bit more? Upgrading to a T480 felt insane. At the same time, I kind of get wanting a slim device. It’s easier to fit them in a backpack (even with a protective case), and I’m glad my phone is relatively slim (8mm) because its case makes it significantly thicker. But yeah, this obsession with making things as thin as possible feels weird, especially because smartphones are now thin but have massive camera lenses that stick out


  • You know what, that’s a good point. Some people genuinely don’t need an ethernet port and prefer a slightly thinner device that fits in their bag a little easier. I guess what I’m “upset” about is that it’s becoming the default or even the only available option. And removing ports even though they could fit without making the device thicker is incredibly annoying, I agree
