some may have noticed that this channel's posting has severely decreased in frequency. the reason is that im not vibing with it lately. im also not vibing with *gestures around vaguely*, but thats another whole thing i guess. theres too many ppl here lol
in the past, years ago, where i got the laptop i currently use, it was because of one main reason: my extended family are uncivilized savages. so it came with a cracked screen, half a keyboard, usb ports filled with some sugary drink etc. but it was free and the internals were decent, so it was worth it to try to save it

the screen: well, it used to be a touch screen. no longer lol. nowadays it has big ass visible cracks but other than that, it displays shit wonderfully. i can use xbacklight -set 0.059 and it still displays stuff, so i can use it in the night comfortably (tho that is unrelated)

the usb ports... well. i manage. i could get some usb hub but thats too much of a bother, so i survive with a single port, thug life. also, gross. i cleaned it as best as i could but its hard, and i think something shorted in that side (luckily a sideboard, not the main one) of the computer innards. cleaning it made the rj-45 work tho, so it was worth it

now, they keyboard...
it came with an also destroyed replacement keyboard, i guess from the first time they had to replace it. but both keyboards were lacking keys. so i made a mix, frankenstein style. only at the end did i notice that between the two keyboards i had a total of 0 enter keys

i had to improvise and tl;dr pic related
now, that has worked surprisingly well for years. but today, it ended. it was undone. the ""enter"" key died. actually it was yesterday but i was in denial, but thats beyond the scope.

today i opened the thinkpad keyboard spares boxβ„’ and i saw that i have three potentially suitable replacements:
