The SSD enclosure I got for NAS4 doesn't work with the USB ports on it. wat?

It works fine on three other machines on Windows/macOS/Ubuntu but throws kernel errors on every port on the miniPC.

GAAAH!

Bad:
Computer overheating

Worse:
Computer repair dude said it would take a whole day, meaning I'd miss a day's work

Worst:
He finished early

I don't want to disappoint the 3 Body Problem series fans, but in episode 4 where an old IBM PC shows alien messages, the screen resolution is wrong and outside of the capabilities of the CGA and Hercules video cards available in 1984.

@petmac Nah, I think you're safe if you stay on 10. My PC is also too old for 11 and I'm no hurry to upgrade. It runs NES games just fine.

Having to DFU revive my MBP again so I can install the 12.7.5 point release.

I have a bad feeling about this.

When I read about Microsoft Recall, my first reaction was "How can I delete it?".

I now realise this has been my first reaction to many "innovations" in Windows in recent years.

They should have stopped at 7.

nivrig,
@nivrig@mastodon.social avatar

@stuart Indeed. I count that as the first good one. It was the one where I switched to Windows as a daily driver.

Any of my peeps here know something about the First Samurai’s copy protection code seemingly rts-ing into Kickstart memory at 0xFE85CA ?

Known trick? Me reading the code wrong?

nivrig,
@nivrig@mastodon.social avatar

@chexum @didier Yep, this is the documented bootblock process.
