  Have you tried starting it with a hammer?

    Hammers leave marks. The Removalists taught me to start it with a phonebook instead

  Oh it works now, but that charger you got is iffy at best and you’ve got probs another hour’s worth of battery before it stops working and you have to go buy a new one.

    Lets hope all these updates thrash the SSD and deplete the storage health. That’s how I got to take home my last work laptop

      ahahah a couple years ago a mate’s workplace was decomissoning a site. They said “Take what you want, we’ll ewaste what’s left after this weekend” All the millenial coworkers grabbed maybe a chair, maybe a monitor or two.

      Me and said mate (a fellow genXer) rented a truck. And we cleared that fucking joint out, including “broken” laptops and entire comms racks.

        My problem is I want all that stuff but don’t know what to do with it. I have an optiplex in a server cabinet and an RPI knockoff I get stuck with every time I try to do something

    Jumping into the bios and turning the wifi off would be a good way to free up a friday afteroon whilst the IT guy looks at it
