Installing an adblocker is the gateway drug into anti-consumerism, which is in turn the gateway drug into anti-capitalism.

Tell all your friends how to install adblockers.

Begin superthought re: dragon stereotypes 

Dragons hoarding wealth for themselves is anti-socialist capitalist propaganda, actually. In reality most dragons guarding hoards are working with local credit unions and trade cooperatives to protect /their/ wealth in exchange for the dragon getting a comfortable place to live, an accepting community with access to clean water, and an ethically-sourced food supply so they don't have to risk their lives trying to survive alone in the wild.

@sharkNserg I never want to be a celebrity @.@

The case lights come on, and I hear the fans and drives turning on, but the bios doesn't post.

Windows 10 Upgrade ._. 

I can't directly upgrade from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 because the upgrader won't work because reasons. So, in order to upgrade I basically need to reinstall from scratch. So, currently backing up what I can...

Oh, and this is because I uninstalled my GPU driver with the intent to roll back to an earlier driver... but apparently there are no drivers for Windows 8.1 that support the GTX 1650 Super. And yet it somehow worked fine when I installed it O.o?

Okay, still not working. At this point I'm giving up for the night. Tomorrow I'll back up what files I can, and just do a fresh installation.

More to the point, the install DVD is copying most of its contents to C:/ drive, but is failing to copy a 3.7 gigabyte folder which presumably is the actual installation archive -.-

[insert angry swearing here]

Windows 10 installation kept failing because the media creator included a file with the wrong extension -.-

Also, whatever tool that Windows 8.1 uses for burning DVDs is sucky, just takes infinite time to erase a disk. Currently booted up on my Linux drive to use Brasero, which just works.
