@mavica_again tbh i've never paid for it either, i got those keys free from uni, but since they were legit & i always had them i never had a reason to pirate it (at least not since XP) & had kinda just assumed that MS would have their shit locked down enough to stop people doing it by now
but i guess they do not lmao
@mavica_again well i'd want to use windows on it
i have a couple of old win 7 keys that i've been using with the free upgrade path for about 15 years but apparently that doesn't work anymore
i would probably like to build my own but i would have to buy a fucking windows license wouldn't i
even though i was considering getting a new laptop i've now started thinking "hey what if i got a new desktop instead" hmmmmm
i prefer using a desktop in many ways tbh & my current one is ancient
i would probably have to keep the old one around for now for certain purposes (e.g. rom dumping) but could at least re-case it in a more compact case and only hook it up when i need it

Did an experiment for my university degree. Dressed as a homeless person & tried to enter unrestricted public buildings. Such as libraries, etc. I was so shocked & upset that 91%(!) of public buildings refused me access that I changed my career path to work with homelessness.

The thing about #tech #layoffs that people who havenβt been through it often donβt understand is that morale never recovers. The employees who remain will never have the same relationship with that company, bosses or peers.
Watching people you respect pack their stuff and crying on the phone with their spouses is something that never goes away. When I survived a layoff in my 20s I became a βdo exactly what the ticket saysβ person. I stopped suggesting ideas, providing feedback, believing anything a manager told me.
If you are a company considering layoffs, especially a profitable company, you should approach it as βthis department will have 100% turnoverβ. The second I got another job offer I left that company and six months later nobody who had been there at the time of layoffs remained.
Iβve seen that pattern play out multiple times.
I've put together a page about one of the more interesting handhelds I acquired recently

I'm planning to follow a similar approach for documenting more stuff & I'd welcome feedback on how it's presented & organised & anything else you want to see in there
theres this one laptop i was strongly considering but i just found out the charging port is literally in the middle on the right hand side. and it isnt a right angle connector, it just pokes straight out. that's where my mouse goes! wtf
@mavica_again my experience is that they're all still hot ass yeah.
the only good one i ever had was a Gadmei UTV380 which they stopped making years ago (and it had jacked up drivers too ofc). when that broke i tried like 3 others which were all terrible, even ones that supposedly used the same chip family. now i use an upscaler connected to an hdmi capture instead, that might be an option worth looking into, there are sub Β£10 upscalers & hdmi capture devices although i can't vouch for them
