The w700ds/w701ds ("Dual Screen")

... was not Lenovo's last try at putting two screens on a laptop; see also the X1 Fold and Yoga 9i

I’m planning on revitalizing and bringing this old Itautec to the 21st century

I think it was born in the 21st century? From this it looks like the first Celeron M was in 2004, and the first at that clockspeed was 2005.

Also, 2GB of RAM is plenty for many purposes - that's more than any Raspberry Pi before the Pi 4 had!

The rest of me is all, “It’s still 2025!! If we have the Bell Riots now we’re still on-pace for a Star Trek future!!”

The Bell Riots were in September 2024.

Our universe's lack of Eugenics Wars in the 90s was already pretty strong evidence that we're not living in the prime timeline.

Are forks like Librewolf also affected?

Yes

And have they been updated?

Librewolf is in the process of updating; perhaps some distributions of it have released new binaries already but the flathub release is still 139.0.1. In git you can see they bumped the version to get 139.0.4 (the version with the fix) here, 18 hours ago; presumably flathub will get that in the near future.

were you careful to be sure to get the parts that have the key’s name and email address?

It should be if there is chunks missing its unusable. At least thats my thinking, since gpg is usually a binary and ascii armor makes it human readable. As long as a person cannot guess the blacked out parts, there shouldnt be any data.

you are mistaken. A PGP key is a binary structure which includes the metadata. PGP's "ascii-armor" means base64-encoding that binary structure (and putting the BEGIN and END header lines around it). One can decode fragments of a base64-encoded string without having the whole thing. To confirm this, you can use a tool like xxd (or hexdump) - try pasting half of your ascii-armored key in to base64 -d | xxd (and hit enter and ctrl-D to terminate the input) and you will see the binary structure as hex and ascii - including the key metadata. i think either half will do, as PGP keys typically have their metadata in there at least twice.

how did you choose which areas to redact? were you careful to be sure to get the parts that have the key's name and email address?

They aren’t pro corpo Ai.

They’re very much against the mass scraping/ddos ai companies are doing.

All of the self-hostable LLMs and image generators (or at least, all of the ones capable of the quality people have come to expect for the last few years) people are using today are trained on massive scraped datasets far beyond the reach of hobbyists. There are many so-called "open source" models which are free to modify (eg, by fine-tuning) and to redistribute, but the data used for the initial training (which hobbyists are allowed to build upon) cannot be published because doing so would obviously be large-scale copyright infringement.

Also, even with the data (which in many cases also needs to be labeled/annotated using human labor), the cost of training such a model from scratch is astronomical.

As a pirate myself, I totally understand how, after reading that Meta's training data included 82TB of pirated books they torrented, one's first thought might be "🤤" ... but to imagine that this makes Meta our ally in the fight against copyright is some temporarily-embarrassed-millionaire kind of thinking.

Those countries won’t be too happy if Israel is kidnapping their citizens.

One might expect them to care, but the Foreign Minister of Sweden was pretty unconcerned
