also I have finally cracked mic technique and frankly the video sounds AWESOME, play on headphones for Pivot to ASMR
i’m very ignorant on this but are those legion of gazillion of chrome books potentially root-able? sorry that’s my fantasy
Most support reflashing the UEFI, but Linux or Windows support is better on some than others. Biggest problem now is disabling write-protect on the flash: used to just be a screw, now you have to use a special USB cable: https://docs.chrultrabook.com/docs/firmware/supported-devices.html#firmware-and-os-support
yeas friend, i have an interesting “high-speed” cable that only belongs to my silly little hard drives. And I pulled that shit before the fascist turnover.
it was previously quite easy, but it seems to be getting much harder as Google locks the ecosystem down alongside their push towards manifest v3 (cause nobody can have nice things) and potentially moving their Chromebooks to Android
a used Chromebook might still be a good option for a cheap linux laptop though — your mileage may vary. if you go that route, look for one that lets you replace its bootloader. the Google one is extremely annoying if you’re running a third-party OS, because it’ll wipe your SSD and reinstall ChromeOS if you hit spacebar during boot (probably Google’s way to punish the user for straying too far from the ecosystem)
my ex tasked me with: I NEED A LAPTOP
and i was like you want reliable or cheap or GIVE ME A LAPTOP, HERE IS MONEY YOU DUMB BOY
so I was into them Thinkpads before then and after then,
got cheaper from ignoring the clamoring of lovers,
but there was a period where you could just grab several pallets load of what the fuck laptops for super cheap
edit to add, not to be like me arguing with my ex:
they are all good laptops. good internals. Northbridge? excellent scoring potential.
honestly, who could say?
is this a moral question? honestly, who COULD say?
I am trying to not be sarcastic. You should throw thought provoking and/or insane questions at knowledgefight.com
it’s weird because honestly, this one could have went better for alex.
I don’t want to give away any secrets

please remind alex to get a little touch, and that would be awesome if Alex Jones were gay and decided to shut the fuck up
Bro. What are you doing?
that’s the sort of advice that non-techie people are looking for – I hear even the U.S. Department of Defense wants to hear ideas. You should send them ALL your thumb drives and they will send them back but they clear out the bugs!!
