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.

MOVED TO vantablack@beach.city

wow thanks to tvtropes i just learned mr. rogers is the reason recording TV on like a DVR or VCR or whatever isn't illegal

"In a case that made it all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court in 1984, the TV and movie industries sued manufactures of VCRs on the grounds that recording their programming was copyright infringement. Enter Fred Rogers, who testified on behalf of home recording, saying he didn't mind if people recorded his shows and that it was a very good thing for families to be able to watch programs together whenever they wanted to, rather than being controlled by an arbitrary network. The court specifically cited his testimony in their decision. So in other words if you like not being tied down to Appointment Television, you can thank Mr. Rogers."

Having problems once again with my computer randomly deadlocking. I think it may be impending hardware failure though, because when it happens on windows there is no bluescreen.

I think tonight I'll run memtest86 to see if its the RAM. Don't know what I can do about it if it is the RAM though, because I can't afford any hardware replacements @.@

Dusty :blahaj:

a Danish museum lent a bunch of money to an artist working on an art installation called "Take the money and run", supposedly made to show the difference between a yearly wage in Austria compared to Denmark

when they got the frames, they were empty

the artist took the money, and ran

this, the artist has stated in interviews, is the art piece

I love it

If you're a teenager in the US and your parents are refusing to provide consent to get you vaccinated, there's a website that's designed to help you figure out if and how you can get around your parents, as well as what vaccinations you should get if you haven't had any:

Kinda thinking of making an alternate form for my fursona. Basically a macro eastern-dragon "snaketaur" form with four arms and four wings.
