I've just discovered that my integrated Intel GPU has only a single HDMI out. Goodbye dual monitors. It couldn't have a dvi out? I feel somewhat irritated about this.

I love gen.lib.rus.ec so much! Thanks for all my uni textbooks and learning materials so far :-).

If you are a broke arse student check it out. Best resource ever.

(I totally dig paying people for their work... But I ain't giving a damn cent to Pearson or Wiley and you can't make me.)

Others who claim to have succeeded against such obscene design decisions may tell magical tales of how they melted the little rivets away. Be assured that these tales describe the stupidest idea ever.... According to a friend of mine >_>. When faced with such a nightmarish foe, be sure to wield a razor blade or scalpel and your battle will be fast won.

Replacing a keyboard in an Asus laptop.... I am faced with no less than 9000 tiny plastic rivets. This is gonna be fun :-). We may need to buy glue :-/

Good watch

I have 3 computers. I want to run a particular OS. One computer is too new, one is too old, and one is WAY WAY too old. Now I'm working out how to pay for a fourth computer. I don't like this situation. I don't like it at all.

TFW you pick up the wrong keyboard and post your password publicly on the internet. Fail.

I tried to sign in to an old google account to access the only play store app I have actually paid for, magic dosbox. I was greeted with a friendly page saying something like "This device in not recognised. For your security we need to verify it's you etc ect". The check was for me to enter my phone number and then enter the code they text me. I used my partners phone. This didn't prove anything. All this proved is that google wanted my phone number. I could have been anyone and used any number.

I finally get some peace and quiet at home to get some work done, and my neighbor decides to start learning the trumpet. I'm going to kill them. I'm...going...to...kill...them. Its drilling into my brain like thousands of ants. I can't think. I can't breathe. They need to die. It's the only real solution.

I used to use copperhead os on my nexus 6p, so grateful to Daniel Micay for his work. Now running grapheneOS on my pixel 2. Up until now was running it stock with no google account signed in getting apps from f-droid and using yalp store to scrape apks for needed apps. So far so good. Perfectly stable. Also found an alternative to yalp store called Aurora Store. If you have a supported phone or are able to contribute check it out.
