What will you do when #Windows "judgement day" comes? We who already made it to the other side welcome you with open arms. Several distributions are super easy to use and non invasive, unlike some mainstream OSes we could mention... #linux #maketheswitch #oneofus #opensource

My #homeschooling teens have not been respecting the need to do creative or educational or productive work when it's "normal" school hours - and my router could block but not schedule it. So I set up an #AdGuard server on my old Lenovo paperweight and it barely takes any power!

Rescued this ancient Lenovo with some kind of Celeron dorito in it, was designed for windows 8 but actually runs half usably with #LinuxMint, even better if I put a m.2 drive in and give it some more virtual ram on the solid state. It only has 2gb ram with no upgrades allowed but does YouTube decent

No it's not a #computer but it is #technology and it has a fan so the same principles apply.. this one had a tarantula of cathair and clothing fibers and cobwebs in it. Unfortunately even after cleaning it was too late for this one, the overheating from lack of airflow killed it.

Just a look at the benefits of a good teardown - I'm still going after these desktop power supplies, an excellent source of various parts - capacitors, screws, fans, transformers, fuses, cables, you name it. Loving this unshopping trip to the non store! #computerrepair #ecycle

Wonder if that's why it's not working? Rosewill was a rose won't power supply. Found this fuse physically popped - the glass as well as the filament! Was gonna scrap this unit but now I'm gonna replace this fuse to see if it comes all the way back! #computerrepair #technology

A Rube Goldberg Device of a #repair - ordered a new PCM for my #Mazda and still have to pair it! So I have this #Linux installed laptop running a #Windows virtual machine with USB pass through for my OBDII to USB adapter I got. It's slow going but I'm making progress.. I think? #vehicletech

#itstillworks 14 years old and still going! Just had to fuse the broken halves of two identical machines to do it. Fresh #Linux Mint install running better on this solid state than a new w11 pc off the shelf.

One has a bad monitor, the other a bad motherboard. They are identical make and model so the swap will be easy (put the good screen on the PC with the good board). Recovered a solid state laptop drive from another wreck so this should be a nice little laptop after the fusion!

At long last, the #Linux revolution has come.. wait if more people are installing Linux does that mean more virus programmers will attack it?
