@mavica_again @NanoRaptor It's the perfect machine for dual knee/dual hand conf jobs, as the owner of this profile picture states.

datacenter alley, floor tiles, 42U19"-racks, closed doors, but one ate end. a person with a black hoodie is sitting ot a foldable chair in front of it. on the floor some 19" 1U hardwarde, a rucksack. the person is balancing 2 Lenovo Thinkpads, each on one knee, typing. the laptops are wired towards the open rack with 4 cables.

@NanoRaptor Quick, get that poor naked baby a trackpoint cover!

@TomF @NanoRaptor Are you certain? I was _sure_ it was a daPknihT.

Tom Forsyth

@NanoRaptor I am angry this took me so long to spot it might not be entirely authentic...

Androcat

@TomF

Is it not an authentic Levono?

Bootleg Levono?!?

I like how they are using reverse qwerty for those ninja edits.

@NanoRaptor

Androcat

@fluffydotorg

You mean a onoveL

ovoneL is another brand.

@TomF @NanoRaptor Looks like a perfectly legit left-handed model to me.

@brouhaha @TomF @NanoRaptor you made me spot it. i was like "huh, yeah, the cursor keys are on the wrong s… WAIT WHAT???"

Christian Stankowic

@NanoRaptor Ideal for languages with left-hand writing, such as Arabic or Hebrew!

SIN001R/E-SINEWAVE

@NanoRaptor i somehow noticed the logo being on the wrong side before the keyboard

a spooky jazz dad..

@NanoRaptor

I'm guessing the number of junior IBM techs sent to the parts depot to ask after a "left handed keyboard" is nonzero

Dan Price

@NanoRaptor Ugh, they put the Fn key where Ctrl should be!

...wait.

Sparky 💡

@NanoRaptor Small note: You might want to add to the Alt Text that the bottom half of the Thinkpad is mirrored.

mbpaz

@NanoRaptor Ten years ago we would get an IBM Redbook chapter with detailed instructions on switching the thinkpad keyboard to right-to-left style, list of affected part numbers and FRUs, and a 30-page disclaimer.

Chloe Raccoon

@mbpaz @NanoRaptor @patterfloof ...with at least 2 pages of that being "This page intentionally left blank"?

Mycroft

@NanoRaptor *duplicate of me with a goatee who switched places with me in a transporter accident*: Finally, a decent keyboard!

Matt Palmer

@NanoRaptor oh dear, I think I've gone cross-eyed.

WooShell

@nini @NanoRaptor Isn't that the one with alternating black and white keys?

TriploidTree

@NanoRaptor I have checked the comments and am surprised no one has tried to link you with the part number for the red dot.

Henri

@NanoRaptor We used to call them PadThinks

João Pedro

@NanoRaptor I call mine "Thinkerpaddington 3000"

Cato

@NanoRaptor my reaction:

"okay? it's a thinkpad so what"

"wait the name is misspelled haha funny"

"oh WAIT WH-"

J. Peterson

@NanoRaptor Do you have a magic Photoshop method of mirroring an image and then flipping just the text back?

I've really needed to do that a few times.

mxk

@NanoRaptor the left-hand version of the ThinkPad R412?

Bob

@NanoRaptor Ah, the famous ThinkLeftPad (javascript edition)

gunstick

@NanoRaptor you need to think a lot to use that one.

48kRAM but with parity

@NanoRaptor I mean, given some of their actual terrible layout choices, this wouldn't surprise me that much

xs4me2

@NanoRaptor

Well used, like it should be!

(Looks like mine!)

Tyler Loch

@NanoRaptor Can't wait for the “Oops! All TrackPoint" variant.

Tizian

@NanoRaptor I remember that one! Quite some years ago, this was my only laptop for playing Minecraft, but the computer couldn't handle it and regularly overheated. So, I always had a cooling pad or wet wash cloth below the keyboard... simple solution. :BigBlobhajHug:

@NanoRaptor let me just swap my brain hemispheres real quick

Imikoy

@NanoRaptor@bitbang.social Approximately one in ten thousand ThinkPads are diagnosed with situs inversus.

tonic

@NanoRaptor *squints* wha- *sees who posted it* oh ok

Thomas Weibel

@NanoRaptor Reminds me of the Chevorlet I once saw in Farafra, Egypt.

gelatinous cube (rat)

@NanoRaptor in the same breath you commit unforgivable crimes (PadThink) and also produce everything Apple is too much of a coward to create (PowerPod)

I still don't know whether to be delighted or personally offended

elevatorz

@NanoRaptor uhh I think that's a bɒᑫʞni⑁T ovonɘ⅃.

Þór Sigurðsson

@NanoRaptor looks like a HebrewPad or some other RtL dingy...

zetroot

@NanoRaptor
What
The
Hell
Is going on here?!

Amarna Vimes

@NanoRaptor@bitbang.social I'm still using a T410 as daily driver! It has the best keyboard I've ever tried

A. Fleury-Gobert

@NanoRaptor isn't this a model R412? someone exchanged the bezel around the screen it seems. They are known for being fragile...

Jack

@NanoRaptor this the laptop you use with the Arabic Windows desktop.

AN/CRM-114

@NanoRaptor 🎶Levono his war wound like a crown
He calls his child “Thinkpad”

Tim 🎮

@NanoRaptor perfectly normal POIUYT keyboard layout, I don't understand what's been changed in this one
