I had no idea there were TPM drivers for Windows 2000.

I tried installing Gentoo just cuz I went on an ISO downloading spree.
No.
Maybe I'm just stupid but the documentation is REALLY convoluted.

Rubber ducky debugging DOES work, holy fucking shit.

"I need to get a bit stream from this array of bytes, so why don't I just store it in a BitVector32 so I can save memory and use 4 bytes per 32 bits instead of a byte per bit if I were to save it as a list of bool"
ISN'T THAT JUST LITERALLY MAKING A DUPLICATE OF THE BYTE ARRAY?!

Having to hunt for a schematic diagram for a motherboard is a fun experience.

I hope to never do it again.

Reading it and poking at a board is a whole another can of worms by itself.

Hate machines without dedicated coin cell batteries for CMOS storage.

@KateYagi one weird thing though is that it DID seem to try and boot after the CMOS had cleared itself after a long time with no power???

The screen showed me the classic 502 CMOS ERROR screen, then rebooted and bricked itself again.

@KateYagi Just messing about with passing through my iGPU to a VM via KVM, all software...
The only weird thing I did was installing drivers for it on the guest VM and forcing a resolution/refresh rate change.

Next boot the machine just did nothing but blink the caps lock key.

I'll give the machine a clean but I find it weird how it just died for no reason.

Can tinkering with GVT-g brick a computer/its BIOS?
Or am I just that unlucky that it died immediately the next reboot after I poked at it that one time?

I love that these $15 USD headphones have decent enough audio quality that I rather use them than my "good" "gaming" ones for music listening, and I always disable equalization anywhere I do.

Sony may have not succeeded in the mobile department, but their audio still rocks.

There's a joke to be made with the fact that the Spanish word for thirst is sed.
You know, like the stream editor.

Listening to songs you've known for so long and out of nowhere noticing extra details in their instrumentation is one of the neatest things

Is it weird to say that I would sort of like to go back to the beginning of the quarantine to redo it?
I feel I could've done so much more with the time I had while stuck at home.

The sky is glowing quite a bit tonight.
I don't know if I find it soothing, a gleam in the firmament... Or if I find it massively depressing.
It's midnight. No light other than the stars' and moon should be visible.

WAIT SO HOLD UP, BREAKCORE IS CALLED THAT DUE TO THE AMEN BREAK?

I like being left to my own devices, but only if they run Linux.
