Hotmail is literally outlook.com.

Don’t connect to internet, Shift f10 to bring up command prompt, oobe/bypassnro, wait for restart, click I don’t have internet, make local account. Did it today.

Mr. Rogers would be proud. :)

When were you a really little kid?

Windows 10 eol is Oct. 14, 2025. 18 more months.

That sounds like quote right off of /r/wallstreetbets

Next time it happens unplug the front case connector and short the power pins. If it comes on, replace the power switch and wires.

I’m glad you can still trust Noone. Whoever they are.

I used to use Cinelerra back in the day. It’s a non-linear editor like Premiere. If I could figure it out with YouTube more than a decade ago, it shouldn’t be too hard.

Yeah, I watched a couple of his review videos years ago and then more started popping up on my feed. I’d occasionally click on one and everytime I did more red flags would appear. Mention of weapons? Well he is on a ranch. Wait, that’s not a ranch. Homesteader? Huh. Vaguely concealed racist, anti-Obama dogwhistle. Gotcha, blocked.

Let it go?

My cousin’s wife was an ER nurse for 19 years and quit her job back in 2022 after dealing with the covid patients that “knew better” for 2 and a half years. This attitude seems to still be prevelant in a certain subset of people. They know they need help but they’ve been indoctrinated into believing things that are not in their best interests. I’m sure tiktok told him he could cure his diabetes with microgreens or some shit and his “research” tops all of the medical and nursing degrees in your building.

Just booted mine up and you’re correct about the size of Mint Mate. It’s about 14Gb. I don’t remeber what OS was 4Gb.

Also for extra security I added 2FA to my sign in. Anytime I enter a login password I need to get a code from the authenticator app on my phone.

I have a similar set up (with a 32gb built in SSD). I use it when traveling. In my experience running an OS off of an SD kills the card in about a year and it dies without warning. Make sure you don’t save anything important on there without a back up.

Love what you’ve done here and can’t wait to see more of your projects.

Mint Mate will run like fire on that little guy. Plus a full install is less than 4Gb. Using the built in SSD with full disk encryption would give you a really secure laptop, especially since the SSD is not removable.

That last cold front was a bitch. It was 12F (-11C) when I left the house today, yesterday the high was 32F (0C) and tomorrow it’s going to be 72F (22C)

No precipitation to speak of so it wasn’t that bad. Nothing really closed down and the roads were good. Supposed to be 72 degrees (22c) tomorrow, thank fuck.

I’ve always wondered why they string random letters together. What does Amazon make the sellers do?
