As Thinkpad T495 does not have Thunderbolt (because it's AMD Ryzen Zen+) I figured I could add Oculink to the free WWAN M.2 2248 slot to run an external GPU for some gaming and local LLMs.
This slot can be used with nvme SSDs and some people have done so. So I thought I could use an M2 Oculink there as well since it's nvme too. Nope. This slot is compatible only with Lenovo's firmware whitelisted WWAN cards or nvme SSD disks 😕
So the only way that this will work is by getting an Oculink adapter for the larger M2 slot where I currently have my SSD, and use a smaller sized 2248 slot SSD (same as Steam Decks) since there is no firmware whitelisting on that slot. This means sacrificing the SSD speeds (2 lanes), and Oculink will have more bandwidth (4 lanes). Starting to think this is not worth it.
Anyway, was a fun experiment.

I had bought a T495 second hand from Taitonetti.fi and I thought it didn't have backlight. The trackpoint and the buttons from the trackpad were not working when I got it, so I thought it was not compatible with Linux perhaps. Today I saw a video on how to replace the keyboard and I thought, let me see if there is something wrong with the keyboard. Guess what? The keyboard is working properly, a ribbon cable was not properly inserted. Now fully operational.
