Businesses love using mini-PCs. I’m keeping a lookout for expanding my server and a TV connected device for emulation, game streaming, etc.

I get a bunch from people that don’t know what to do with them. I nuke the hard drive and then donate, these days. If I can’t nuke it, I take the platters out and destroy those. Haven’t come across with one with SSD yet, but it’s only a matter of time.

Before, Ibused to try to install different versions of Linux and just fix whatever issue the laptop had. Coolest thing I did was replace the charging port on one.

I’m deeply sleep deprived and rather embarrassed that I didn’t equate “footgun” with “shooting oneself in the foot” until I looked it up.

I hated Windows updates anyway, so they never panicked me and I didn’t care much. I am on Linux now, but I had been leaning towards switching long before the EoL thing, but was putting it off.

Personally speaking, I have yet to encounter an operating system that didn’t illicit bloodcurdling screams.

From here, it sounds like someone trying to make a local user account.
