It does shows signs of aging, but not as bad as the other laptops of the same era.
I haven’t heard of the T480 display problem until now, but then again, I’ve never had it myself.

Yup, WDR4300 on OpenWRT is the way to go.
Had that running on my main router until a newer one came along. Now it’s still going strong, but as a wifi repeater.
The newer ones are actually less well-built.
I have a T14 Gen 3 from work to confirm with. It’s definitely not bad, but not as rugged.
Meanwhile, for personal use, I got a X230, and a W530, and they are much more solid. A lot of people said that T480 is the “last great Thinkpad”, but I don’t have one so I cannot confirm this.
Careful now, they are too old to be secure. I’d switch to TL-WDR4300.
Hell yeah!
Slightly off-topic, but that is some interesting blogging platform.
How old were you back then?
Snapshots are subvolumes.
How about if we take the legs, then burn the rest to ashes so it would reemerge.
They’d dip them in wine.
Dibs on the prime rib!
You might still have bluetooth to fix…
You’re saying it like they have a choice.
Besides, stuff like this should not be constrained by the boundaries of nationalities.
Why don’t you tell us your background & context, the ones that make you ask this question?
They would never!
Perhaps if you’re just trying out and experimenting, you shouldn’t use your main system. Try it in a VM, or even better, a spare computer. Then whatever stuff that you like, you trickle down to your main system.
In the case of DEs, I don’t like having multiple ones in my system, but only because I like my systen lean. So if I want to try out a DE, I’d just set it up on a test system, usually from scratch.
So far, I’m liking KDE the most, but for something more lightweight, I’d go with XFCE or MATE.
To answer your original question: Theoretically, it could affect your security as each piece of software could have vulnerabilities. In practice, however, it’s negligible, and if there’s anything major, it would usually get addressed quickly.
Last but not least: When you’re just starting out, you wouldn’t want to be focusing too much on security. Following the general guidelines should suffice for most case. Just focus first on getting all the functionalities you need. Security usually means restricting access, including to yourself, that means doing it too much could make things not function properly. Securing things prematurely (i.e. before you get things working) could only frustrate you, speaking from experience.
I’m definitely all for Ukraine winning, but this is bullshit, basically the red scare all over again (but for tech).
That applies even to you.
