This #ThinkPad so far has been great. #OS and #firmware #updates are regularly available. Performance is snappy and smooth and it handled my long uptimes just fine.

Except I do have one peculiar issue when scrolling down on a webpage the action becomes stuck. ALL webpages just scroll on their own to the very bottom of the page. No key presses, combinations, or even the ESC key fixes or interrupts this. Clicking on a menu item like File causes the selected options to cycle infinitely. The *only* fix is to reboot the laptop.

I've never seen this on any other distro or laptop.

Has anyone else experienced this?

@nprofile1q... Awesome. That's how I obtained mine. 😀

My neighbor was selling it on Facebook Marketplace. Found two eager high school hockey players to donate their spines for us as they moved it *up* the back steps only to go *down* into my basement. 🤯🤣

It definitely needs some maintenance and tuning but overall sounds great.

Happy #Friday everyone!

Here's your face-palming dose of #ai #news. According to #TheRegister, security researchers recently tricked #appleintelligence into #swearing at #users.

Researchers executed a crafty prompt injection bypass Apple's filters. Their attack had a staggering 76% success rate.

From the article:

"While the researchers only tricked Apple Intelligence into cursing at users, this same technique could be abused to manipulate any data that's accessible to apps and services using the model."

Let that sink in.

Excellent reporting by El Reg.
