This is just e-waste. Please don’t buy this. The resolution is 480p. Spend a few dollars more and get something you will actually KEEP.

This man is a hero. We should all be doing this.

My very first PC (though not my first computer) was a white box 386SX running at a lofty 16MHz with 4MB of RAM and a 40MB HDD. The motherboard (which I still have) from an unknown manufacturer.

That single computer spawned a hobby and an eventual 28-year career in IT hardware and operating systems.

SO MUCH WINNING.

If you enter it in at boot time it’s not permanent, so it’ll either work or it won’t, but it shouldn’t break anything.

Mine is ‘HoloNet’, but it’s kind of a deep cut unless you’re really into Star Wars.

So it looks like the touchpad problem is a known issue with that particular model. A web search turned up an Arch Linux forum post from 2017 with the same issue. Unfortunately, there was no solution posted.

Your touchpad shows up as a PS/2 device, right? I have a ThinkPad A475 with a PS/2 trackpad that won’t function at all in Linux unless I add i8042.reset as a GRUB argument.

Maybe see if that helps?

Also, large flash drives (128GB, 256GB) tend to be a LOT faster than small ones. And as the drive nears it’s capacity, write speeds will start to slow down dramatically.

How old is the drive and how is it formatted? You’re gonna want ExFAT for the best performance with large files.

Try wiping the drive, creating a new GPT partition table and formatting with ExFAT. If that doesn’t improve performance, then it may just be the flash drive. I find that the drives that advertise their speeds tend to be faster than the drives that don’t, and I get the BEST performance from SSDs. I now have a pile of old flash drives that I no longer use because they are so slow.

Yes. Use faster USB drives. If your computer has USB3 ports, buy USB3-specific flash drives.

Better yet, skip flash drives altogether and get a compact USB SSD. They come is the same small sizes as a flash drive and are MUCH faster.

Fuck fascists and anyone who abides them.

I’ve been saying this as well. There is going to be American blood spilt on the streets before this is over. We haven’t reached the bottom yet.

And that’s why I don’t use PPAs, but you do you, I guess…

They’re heeeeeere!

Inviting world leaders to check out his merch store.

This is what has become of America.

Fuck Netanyahu in the ass with a smart bomb.

Genocide through bombardment is the same as genocide through a gas chamber.

Fuck Israel. “Never again,” my ass.

Let me fix that headline for you, The Guardian:

“Guy who played pretend hero on tv over 30 years ago has now signed up to play pretend hero in real life.”

Hunting animals for trophies and prestige is straight-up fuckery and should be banned everywhere.

Fuck trophy hunters.

Sorry you lost your dad.

My religion is FUCK OFF WITH YOUR RELIGION.

Can I proselytize that in the office?
