Today reminds me why I stopped being super into IT in my personal life.
spoiler
For those who get it: Have 2 identical thin client lenovos. One is a torrent box, the other is supposed to be a media player. Spend insane amount of time cloning the drive from one to the other. Normal solution wonāt let you deploy because itās locked behind a pay wall. Grab cracked version. Doesnāt work. Try several more. Eventually find nfo that states everything works EXCEPT DEPLOY!!! Finally find a solution. Burn boot iso with Rufus. Re do imaging. It works!!! Plug into TV. Boot logo, but blackscreen in OS. Fuck around until I finally get it working. Onboard graphics card too weak to decode large mkv. Get angry. List it on marketplace. ___

It was stuttering on anything larger than 50gb and thatās reading of a usb C ssd.
Streaming off an smb share was better but not worth it. Iām keeping it to create a private cloud with a spare 10tb drive.
Google has started scanning my cloud drive for pirated software and blocking the upload.
Apparently works by hash but who knows.
Fuck em.

Ugh. Bus issues. Thin clients arent the beefiest of beasts but thatās ridiculous

Just getting the hdmi handshake going with the TV was painful.
