  • Do you remember a video some tech guy/s did maybe 15 - 20 yrs ago? He raided somewhere between 10 and 20 ssds (they were new at the time) and booted up windows while holding the ssd cables and jumping on a mini trampoline? The drives were clacking together like one of them clapper hand toys/noise makers. Yeah drives should be fine, I’d break the pc down to parts in boxes if I was moving my pc anywhere far or not with me holding the box, video cards and heat syncs are super heavy these days, this isn’t (I hope) a trident card




    1. I agree, what a little regulation could do to help them out

    2. I agree, and it just got a lot worse maybe

    3. I actually think Texas would stay on its own as it is still a republic and wouldn’t want to support another state, as you said they can barely support themselves

    As an aside, when Republicans were shown platforms without an R or D next to it IIRC they were more likely to choose the D platform.


  • Here is a list of live usb makers. I have successfully used UUI, #5 on the list, and also have successfully used this in the past. I’m running kubuntu/win 10 dual boot, prolly not recommended but, I installed linux on a separate drive to win 10 and put its boot loader there (idea being windows update won’t mess with a drive it can’t read) so when I boot I have, for the moment, win 10 as first boot device and when I want to get into linux simply hit f8, or what ever your “choose boot device” is, choose the linux drive and go, next month I’ll need to switch the order.





  • That is my (combined) M$ trackball. There are 2 boards in my trackball, 1 for buttons and 1 for the ball, First one the ball board stopped working, the second the button board stopped working, I opened em up, unplugged the top board from the bottom board, put the 2 working parts together and it is still going strong 26 yrs later, even the wheel and buttons only click once


  • wow, almost as old as my (combined) Microsoft trackball, that is about 26 yrs old. Where yours has a bald spot from your finget, my trackball has lost ALL texture, so smooth a slightly sweaty hand slides easily. I have no idea how many hours it has been (ab)used for, I was unemployed when I got it and spent most of the day on IRC and playing games, good times. Haven’t found a decent replacement yet, I think my time is running out
