  • Years ago when I was living with my parents, my mother was at work, I worked nights. She called me during the day and this was the conversation :

    Mom: I need a favor, go into my bedroom, get my cell phone and bring it to me.

    Me : you are are work right?

    Mom: yeah

    Me: you can't make personal calls at work so you must be on break right?

    Mom: what? Just bring me my phone!

    Me: if you are on break, how are you calling me?

    Mom: oh shit, nevermind I found it.

  • Yeah, I remember having a full desktop to show videos back in the day(like pre-2005ish). I knew it was more powerful than it seemed but it appears I underestimated it.

  • Yeah the problem is I don't have a card reader on my main desktop and I tried a bunch of my old passwords and none worked so I was just going to reimage it.

  • I tend to like every other one... 3.1, 98, 2000, xp, 7, 10...maybe 12?well see of the pattern continues.

    I find Microsoft releases a good os... Gets drunk and comes up with crazy ideas... Refines ideas into usable os.... Gets drunk and more crazy ideas... Repeat

  • Yeah I'm thinking my SD card is failing... I know it's slow but I tried to do a fresh install in recovery 7 hours ago and it's still initialing the "noob" installer.

    Supposedly I was thinking to small, I was thinking like trying to use nmap to discover all ip addresses on my lan or load vim to practice vim motions (I get the idea but I'm still too slow put in alot of commands cause I'm like ok... Up 10 lines, ok, up is.. Look on cheat sheet... I... then number of lines... That was 10...look on cheat sheet... Oh just enter 10...it didn't work... Figure out because it's not ingrained in my head the time looking at a cheat sheet is making commands time out).

  • Microsoft can never name products... Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox one, Xbox series x, Xbox series s... Hell I'm currently watching agdq and can't tell you the best one, imagine a grandmother trying to buy a gift for her grandchild. Atleast it's Playstation 1, Playstation 2, Playstation 3, Playstation 4, Playstation 5 obvious which one is newest. Or Windows 3.1, nt, 3.1 with workgroups, 95, 98, 2000, me, xp, 7, vista, 8, 10, 11...wtf?

  • Out of curiosity, I discovered there were other isos on the SD card I could install but the "noob" installer took literally hours to initialize, is that a sign the SD card is going bad?

  • Yeah, I tried virtual box on my main system and kept running into odd problems with every distro. For example Debian had a full second of input lag, with 2 cores of a 13th Gen i5 and 16 gb of ram dedicated to it. Kali would install and I ejected the "installation medium" aka the iso and reboot and the virtual box couldn't see any bootable drive. I tried fedora and it kept freezing on installing(sat at like 35% for over 3 hours)

  • Only downside is with global warming and no air conditioning the studios they use are typically warmer then people are used to, as a result you won't see many of their talents wearing sweaters or jackets...

  • I'll have to see if I have a way to flash a micro SD to do that

  • Pretty sure it's rasp2b but maybe a rasp3... Its in a case so I have to open it and look at the markings

  • Wow, I didn't think it would be able to do that much. What "personal things" are you talking about? Storing files? Personal email? Video server? Actually using it as a personal computer? Don't have to say what exactly it is just a rough idea would be nice.

  • Would I be able to run a gui remotely from a Windows pc? I have extra monitors(yes kinda a tech hoarder) but don't have space to setup another full setup. It has raspbian installed(or the pi-hole version they used to have), will have to guess on the password but I think I remember it.

    My initial plan was to remotely access it via ssh with putty on the windows system.

    Long story, my shield decided to have its network die. I reset it. I replaced the network cable and changed ethernet ports on router but nothing would work (wasn't even getting the lights on the ports). I didn't know if it was the shield or the router so I found the pi and plugged it in. Network immediately worked so I know it's the shield. I was able to find an old Asus nexus Google TV box which "solved" the shield and was thinking of using the pi for something other than just sitting in a box under a bunch of wires.

  • I'll have to check out the ram. I know it boots and network and hdmi work but will have to dig out a spare keyboard to try to log in and see what it can do

  • Them being explicit makes me think it's not true. The comments about the Nobel prize makes sense as does a test run to see the world's reaction if they do something similar to other countries like Greenland or Canada, both of which they have been talking about since election where as Venezuela came up out of no where with the initial "drug boat" bombing in what? October and the kidnapping late December/early January...

  • Does it work on the frogs too?

  • Solid advice.

  • Wait... This revealed an old memory... Wasn't this actually a sketch on the original animaniacs?
