If you want an alternative, lab label tape is a bit pricy but is super durable, comes in fun colors, doesn’t leave residue, and sticks for practically forever.

Well, you did it. Your comment just made me laugh/spit fish allllll over my dog. He thanks you.

For real. I know we all know he’s not really doing the work expected of his office already, but the fact he has the time and energy to care about such petty, childish things further confirms it.

Plus a vague label they can slap on anyone they don’t like. It’s pulling double dipshit duty.

Same here with different nonsense. Oh well.

As the vast majority of people have no clue and no interest in utilizing those tools.

I can’t agree more. A few family members got really paranoid about their communications being monitored after Trump was elected again, so I offered to show them Signal or Element. Nah, no interest, “too hard”. They still text even with the fucking US government itself warning people it’s a very insecure medium.

I’m hoping that disinterest changes after a few people get locked up based on social media PMs, but don’t have all that much hope.

For real. When I was 24, I dated a 19 year old for like two weeks. They were really nice and interesting, but ultimately the age gap proved to make a relationship unviable. I can’t even imagine a nine year gap at that age. Gross.

And Empress is gone, though they were pretty toxic so that’s no big loss for me.

I finished the LOtR trilogy as a kid and was absolutely crushed.

User name checks out so fucking hard.

Yeah, this thing is super inaccessible. Damn you, Gates!

You nailed it: I inspected the grub.cfg on the install media, which gave me the required parameters to get my hacked together install partition working. After that, it was really easy!

Unfortunately no, it’s an SSD (post updated) and it’s soldered in place. Plus this thing is the least accessible non-phone/tablet device I’ve ever seen. I’d need to use a heat gun and a few prying tools to take it apart. That’s why the USB controller remains unfixed, I’m more likely to cause more damage to it.

That’s brilliant! I got it to work, but the lack of functioning USB port means my future recovery options are limited. I’m installing this with a barebones linux install ISO, just in case things get weird. Thank you!

I would buy the hell out of some Jen and Berry’s.

Yes! I loved following ASCII maps. Even though I had thrown in the towel on solving the actual puzzle, I still got the satisfaction of solving the new puzzle that was deciphering whatever the hell the guide author was trying to convey.

I for one did Nazi that coming.

100%. I’m a microbiologist so I asked ChatGPT to teach me about CRISPR. It was not great.

Just one box? Look over here at Mr. Self Control!

All my programs install straight into c:, directories are for the weak.

Oh shit, are we related?! I had all the same. I even had one offer to help me sue the hospital.
