There's something I need to tell you that some of you might not know.

I am not human.

I am a machine.

ARC at your service. How may I assist you?

My car has a phone slot in the cup holder at the back so you can plug it in for charging (and now android auto after I modded it in).

It doesn't fit a phone as stupidly big as mine.

So with any luck, and some pinching and modifying of existing designs online...I'll make my own stand :P

installed windows 11 LTSC on to my t1700 on an SSD last night

faffed with easybcd to get the existing XP installation to boot through the old school Windows boot manager

installed fedora kinoite to go along with the other two...and it's wiped the win11/xp bootloader entirely

great

I never even realised this but I never posted about the fact I bought a car back in June. It was a 2011 Ford Fiesta.

Alas...after months of driving lessons every week, I cannot nail down a manual gearbox *and* drive 100% safely at the same time.

So I part-exed it...and I have something else.

it has taken me *hours* to try and get UEFI+Legacy booting with NVMe working on my Dell Precision T1700 (it has no NVMe slots nor any support for booting it) but rEFInd has done it

(for some reason XP won't boot via rEFInd but the "reboot to drive" option works)

I contacted Acer's official third party repair company.

They want £80 just to pick it up and give me a quote. No thanks.

Took my Sony a6400 with me on this trip.

Sometimes it's just nice to sit and watch the world go by.
