@aquinton it's so cursed. empty folders started appearing in program files referencing software i didn't install like xerox and frontpage and you can't delete them. the firewall is disabled for like 10 seconds each boot. it's amazing how these things even still proliferate to this day without intentionally downloading anything

@dotHTM@mathstodon.xyz amazing

this computer already has malware in it

a pentium III with 512MB RAM is still all you need in 2023 to listen to soma fm

BLISS

let's go mets baby love da mets

@jake no since this is coming _from_ the MBR. somehow a broken boot.ini got installed fresh

i managed to rebuild the boot.ini but now the bootstrapped xp install can't see the usb drive to install from ... so i'm once again booting from a really slow ubuntu 10 livecd to copy them off the flash drive to the partition... this is cursed

what the fuck. i've never seen this error before

i'm trying to install windows xp on a system that doesn't boot from usb and i have no cd-rs and it is a daunting task that has taken me over 2 days now

@aquinton plug & pray

scuzzy

i'm running into a problem i've seen before again where i'm trying to make a bootable fat32 partition (namely with plop boot manager on a laptop's hard drive) but all the bootable partition does is make an "A" show on the screen and hang and i've had something similar with freedos in the past

another day another internet kid telling someone off for using AAVE and not "proper english"

packard smell

@jake guillotines

@jk i thought that said gareth turnip

hey gambatte, we don't need no stinkin' shaders... heh heh
