I have an Old Lenovo ThinkPad laptop.

I am looking to use a Samsun 850 Evo 2.5" SSD in the system to run Linux and practice my programming skills. I see an opportunity for great career growth, and I need a system I can practice on.

After removing the back panel, it appears there are two M2 SSD slots and one 2.5" SSD/HDD slot.

The M2 slots look like there are connections available. While the 2.5" slot is blocked off where I'd expect the connection to be availible. How can I connect the 2.5" SSD to the laptop?

Additional information: The left most slot is the original OS boot slot. The fixture in the slot appears to be a heat sink. The 2 unsued slots have a spot for a ribbon cable, maybe?

AITA for masterbating while my kid (3y) was in the other room.

For context mid-June, I was released from my job in a crappy way.

My wife and I have 1 child, a 3-year-old boy. To take care of our finances, he stays home 3 days a week while I am not working.

I had a vasectomy performed just before I was let go. It was something that we briefly talked about when we decided we didn't want any more children. The doctor that performed the procedure requires 2 semen samples to confirm there are no sperms present.

Fast forward to yesterday. I hadn't submitted a sample since the surgery and have a job lined up to begin 8/5. Friday, it was the boy and I at home. We were plating outside, it was hot, so we went inside to cool off. I set him up on his tablet, watching something on YouTube kids, and decided I would check the paperwork about the sample submission.

It recommends calling the doc office to make sure someone is present to check the sample. Upon calling, I found out the doc is in till 11am. It was currently about 830am, so I decided to collect a sample.

After confirming, he was good and would not bother me while I was doing the deed. I snuck off to quickly collect.

The boy and I then go to the docs office to submit the sample and run another errand while out.

At about 1pm I get a call from the docs office saying there was no spern in the sample and to submit the next sample after 10/14. I went to text a friend who also had the procedure done with a joke(actual text I sent), "Shooting blanks... now how do I tell the wife I did the test while I was supposed to be watching the boy 🤔"

I didn't realize I had actually sent this to my wife. She is livid that I had done this while he was at home, calling me a "pervert" and telling me I need to get out of the house.

We do have our issues, but I don't feel this was a huge deal, enough to warent wanting me gone out of the house. I was busy for 5-10 mins top. I had confirmed our kid was safe and happy with a snack and drink to keep him busy. I was in the bathroom no more than 20ft away with the door closed. If he yelled for me or needed me, I could hear him. When I returned to him he was happy and content with his juice, snack, and show.

AITA?

As the title states, I currently have cable but want to cut it. I dont watch anything live anymore aside for sports. I can't buy a sports package as the local pro teams are blacked out, and you must watch on the local channel. Are there any alternatives?
