PLEBS ARE NEEDED

+1 for FreeRDP, I use it all the time!

Yeah it’s just a desktop wallpaper it seems. Big minus points for that. All the monitors also have the exact same wallpaper and the one on the side also cuts off.

The speakers don’t really fit and the monitor on the left is just bog standard and on a modern arm, as well as the camera (but I can understand the camera, that would be harder to mod into something).

I also don’t really like the way it’s done. Just random keycaps superglued all over it. Cheap diy ventcovers also superglued, not really straight. The little clock and mini-display are super cool though, but then the mini display is just another mirror of the main screen, that’s not great. The front is also kind of falling apart, which doesn’t look very nice. The stickers on the side are cool though.

So I don’t know what to think. The concept is great, but the execution really isn’t there. On the other hand, going this far for a daily driver is cool in it’s own right.

Just so you know, operating spinning drives this way is a bad idea. If the platters are spinning and the drive tips over, the rotation of the drives resists the movement. This gyroscopic force is enough for the platters to touch the heads which are flying a tiny distance above the platter. Obviously this is a bad thing and will damage the drives.

A quick fix is to just lay them flat or fix both of them together so they have a more stable base to stand on. Putting it in an enclosure is even better.

They laid off 2000 last year and the CEO gave himself a 30 million dollar raise. If he fires 7000 this year, he’ll give himself a 100 million dollar raise?

One thing to note, if you are using UEFI this is very unlikely to happen. It was designed from the start to have multiple boot options and Windows itself often has multiple entries. It is very rare for a Windows update to mess with any other boot options in UEFI.

You can just use an activation script. Even though technically Windows won’t be activated using the OEM license in a VM, the license is still present on the machine. So legally Windows is still licensed. To get around the thing not automatically activating, an activation script is an easy fix.

This is a good activation script:

Imagine gate keeping Linux, the irony…

Steam works absolutely perfectly on EndeavourOS. No tweaking or anything required, just install and run. It also runs just about any game I ever tried, with troubleshooting as easy as choosing a different version of Proton from the dropdown.

Please send flowers, I just died from cringe

The annoying thing is, a lot of modern battery protection circuits will brick themselves once they read a too low battery voltage. So not only will they not charge anymore, they will never charge, even with new cells. It’s so dumb and meant to prevent 3rd party refurbished battery packs.

Nice
