It was at a friend’s place. It was gruesome.
Imagine falling in love with the Black Knight and cutting all the limbs off so you can keep it in a box.

Asus F555D - 12G RAM, AMD R8 M350DX GPU and a sticker that says Radeon Dual Graphics. That’s probably what was tripping up the system booting to a black screen.
Not Sandisk. Had several just die with no recovery possible.
Kingston had a few failures but probably OK as a cheap one.
Only had one Samsung crash, so mostly sell those despite the premium these days.
Baah. KBIN just ate my reply.
Point form since I forgot to save to clipboard first.
Tried mint - booted to black screen
Tried ubuntu - got silly crashes like in the post trying to install stuff. It also wanted me to sign up for some sort of support package with 5 free devices to get updates or something. Also, trackpad scrolling was uncontrollable. Would scroll up half a screen or more as I lifted my fingers off.
Tried fedora - only 100% and 200% zoom option, and no right click.
Managed to fix the fedora issues with some command line found on Google and a gnome customising addon.
n00b here, just playing. Can’t migrate fully as I need VBA and Playit Live etc.
Aussie slang for a hot Barbecue Chicken from a supermarket - typically sold in a plastic carrier bag. Classed as the Bachelor’s handbag as it is not uncommon for a single guy to buy one as a meal.
RiF reaching senility.
Came to /kbin first, and still here sometimes but Voyager wins on my phone after Neurospicy Artemis disappeared.
My dog and cat love a good Bachelor’s Handbag every few days. I’d happily have those pretty regularly, although they don’t seem to keep you full for long.
Yep. It’s nice to know you’re in control of it. Not like bloody AnyDesk which decided one day out of the blue to remove the TCP Tunneling feature I was using.
It might still be less environmentally damaging that running fibre to every starlink customer. That’s a lot of manufacturing and digging.
Interesting. But I wonder with the advent of Swype / Swiftkey etc whether a physical keyboard of these dimensions can compete in a speed? I feel like it’s not physically possible to match the speed of swyping, but could be wrong.
I doubt these use much power compared to their spinning rust anticedents.
Total Recall said so :)
How about not just dumping the user to a weird terminal prompt at startup because it thinks the file system needs a check?
They shouldn’t have to google what to do next.
I disagree on the efficacy of evaporative coolers. When I lived in Bourke, they were excellent. Typically roof mounted models such as these. Very low power usage for whole house cooling, but the massive caveat is they don’t work well in humid places.
A simple portable one like the Convair Classic will only really help whoever’s near it, but at under 80 watts of power it’ll run off even the cheapest inverter and car battery in an emergency.
Solar panels make the cost of using a split system practically nothing during daylight hours, with little net additional heat created in the process.
Aircon plus solar panels for the win? Other than the initial manufacturing cost, it’s a fairly good solution.
For those with a limited budget in a dry heat area, a large portable Swamp box and a single panel may be enough. Needs access to water though…

If they’re solar powered, nothing much wrong with that.
To be fair, all operating systems will usually stop if there’s a head crash.
I guess, remember that whatever it is didn’t happen to several billion other people. It can be hard to switch off empathy.
Also understand that the human brain is a complex thing, and if parts of it are physically broken or missing, the person might not be able to control of what they’re doing.
