Lenovo Thinkpad T14 Gen 1 (soldered RAM)

When I press the power button the power button and keyboard lights turn on briefly, then shut off. This will happen again and again unless I fully shut off the computer. There is nothing on the screen. The fans aren't running. There is no beeping.

I've tried plugging it in while powering it on, pressing the pinhole reset button, and holding the power button down for 60 seconds.

It's been doing this over and over for an hour. I'm going to open it to see if the battery is removable, but honestly I'm not sure what else to do. I just bought this Thinkpad a few months ago because my Ideapad was doing something similar. Is this a problem with all Lenovo products or is it user error (or luck?)

If you wanted a custom map for prepping, what would you want on it?

I want to create a map of my area with features highlighted that would be useful. Making the map (with GIS) is the easy part, I'm just trying to think of what to put on it.

Outside of basic things like streets, specific features I want to include are storm shelters, fallout shelters, hospitals, and pharmacies. Maybe flood zones? This would probably have to be multiple maps.

I need a laptop that can run Minecraft, Roblox, and Fortnite. I can't spend more than 500 dollars. I'm trying to find a laptop for one of my siblings, and I don't know if something for that low of a price can run even less intensive games like that.

I've flushed the machine and ran several tanks through it.

The output dissolved solid values are all <5 ppm, but there are a lot of microbubbles coming out with the waste water. The output water smells fine.

I tend to get worked up over germs, so I'm trying to get opinions on if the system is contaminated after leaving it for 10 days. I don't know if I should use bleach or the Bluevua packets before I use it.

I have the Bluevua ROPOT-UV, 6-Stage

I'm looking at programs at the University of Wyoming and West Virginia University, University of Maryland (as well as several others).

Has anyone attended these, or any GIS Master's program? It's hard to find people with experience in these types of programs. I'm just trying to find opinions. I haven't been able to find many online.

On iOS there is an option to select a custom color shift. I used a shift that I could turn off and on to make the screen shift extremely red ​at night

Is there a way to do this on Graphene? All I see in settings is shifts meant for color blindness but nothing to make it custom.​

When using the Reddit app, downloaded from either Aurora or Playstore, the app will open but any login attempts will say my password is wrong, when it is not.

Is there anything that Graphene does that breaks apps like this or is it something on Reddit's end? I've heard of apps straight up not working but I've never heard of something like this.

I've accepted that I'll never have a normal life.

I've accepted I might never have a partner because I can't stand sound. It's hard to find someone that understands that you need to not be around them when they eat and that you can't just spontaneously start eating around me.

I'm very lucky to be able to live with family right now, but I have to run a noise machine at all times so that I can't hear anything. I almost never leave my room. Someone is always eating.

I can barely be in public. It's hard for me to learn how to drive since the family
member who teaches me always moves her lips and it makes me want to scream.
I have to wear headphones at all times in public if the space is quiet enough. If someone eats all I want to do is make them feel the pain it makes me feel.

I've genuinely considered making myself deaf. I suppose that wouldn't work since I also can't see the eating either. I'd have to be blind, too. I already have tinnitus from listening to music so loudly in school so I couldn't hear.

I'm afraid I won't be able to work.

I wouldn't wish this upon anybody. I'd take a physical disorder if it meant this went away.

"Sex refers to an individual's immutable biological classification as either male or female. Sex is not a synonym for and does not include the concept of gender identity."

This was listed below the "pick your sex" box. Won't be applying, obviously. I'm worried about things like this becoming more common in the future. I'm not sure if the university itself posted this or if it's some sort of law in that state (Wyoming.)

Not devastated about it but damn. Grad school is too expensive to deal with this bullshit
