fixed my friend's computer, we had subway for dinner and cuddled while things installed
a pretty good day
and the ram for my thinkpad and the minecraft server arrived so i'm excited to try those :3
i honestly think there's something wrong with disk i/o or paging on my i5 laptop though and i have no idea how to diagnose or fix it
aaaaand it's just a SoC famiclone like any others from 20 years ago
