A photo of my workbench. On it are various tools, a Panasonic Let's Note, a VAIO C1MGP, some discs, and on the two displays mounted to monitor arms is my workbench PC's desktop running Fusion.

Although thinking about it, should I need to plug my mum's or my dad's phone into it...they don't have quad lock cases. So maybe I should do a universal one.

It'll go in the cup holder and on the end of it will be a Quad Lock end for my phone case. I don't need to be able to see my phone as I've got Android Auto.

My car has a phone slot in the cup holder at the back so you can plug it in for charging (and now android auto after I modded it in).

It doesn't fit a phone as stupidly big as mine.

So with any luck, and some pinching and modifying of existing designs online...I'll make my own stand :P

First MOT was in Newcastle, then spent around 6 years north of Aberdeen...to end up in Romford, and then I bought it!

She's been out a lot!

Haven't had a chance to get some good photos so here's a couple from the place I got it when I put a deposit down for it.

Ain't she cute?!

bro come on you know what i meant

A Dell U2711 displaying the Windows 11 desktop.

And a Dell U2711 to go with it.

A Dell Precision T1700 stands on a plank of wood which has castors attached on the bottom.

Xeon E3-1246v3 quad core.
32GB RAM as standard.
480GB SSD.
2TB HDD (originally 2x2TB without SSD).
GTX 970 4GB.
DVD drive and floppy reader.
Creative X-Fi Titanium.

Rocky Linux. Windows 11 LTSC. Windows XP Pro.

The workbench machine is ready to go.

So as it turns out kinoite is shit for dual booting

Fedora KDE keeps failing verification and the installer keeps crapping out before it even starts

Trying Fedora XFCE as that was fine last time

installed windows 11 LTSC on to my t1700 on an SSD last night

faffed with easybcd to get the existing XP installation to boot through the old school Windows boot manager

installed fedora kinoite to go along with the other two...and it's wiped the win11/xp bootloader entirely

great

Pictures to follow later. Here's a hint for now... ;)

I never even realised this but I never posted about the fact I bought a car back in June. It was a 2011 Ford Fiesta.

Alas...after months of driving lessons every week, I cannot nail down a manual gearbox *and* drive 100% safely at the same time.

So I part-exed it...and I have something else.

i've never really been interested in the pokémon series, and i am fairly gay

yet emma from Z-A is singlehandedly making me want to pick up a copy...for uhm...reasons...ahem

and honestly, it's not that bad

the fan in the legion go is pretty irritating at times but this thing works great

so my new laptop setup is my legion go on a phone stand with its display turned off sat next to and connected to a 16" 2560x1600 144Hz portable monitor, which then plugs into a 100w charger

connected via a USB hub is a thin and light TKL chiclet keyboard and a logitech g305

tbh i've used Windows ME and for me at least has been more reliable and stable than Windows 98SE on pretty much every system I've tested it with

i keep forgetting freeplaycity exists

i can get there for the price of a bus fare (i don't have to pay for the train, work innit) why the fuck haven't i visited yet

I don't really know *why* I'm spending all this time to get Windows XP running alongside Windows 11 LTSC on a 4th gen Xeon but fuck it why not

it has taken me *hours* to try and get UEFI+Legacy booting with NVMe working on my Dell Precision T1700 (it has no NVMe slots nor any support for booting it) but rEFInd has done it

(for some reason XP won't boot via rEFInd but the "reboot to drive" option works)

Technically I have my i7 MacBook Air running Windows but shhhh

The best part is the DVD drive in the palmrest ;)

A Panasonic Let's Note CF-SX4 running Windows 11 on an ironing board.

I shit you not this is my next best Windows laptop now my Nitro is dead.

Long live Hard-Off.

I've got my MacBook pro charger that'll do 140w, and a cheap AliExpress one that can do 100 lol

(the battery that is, I don't have the base station)

that's fair, this one was discounted down to about £60 or so IIRC

there's a base station you can buy for it too with some USB outputs that has a pogo pin setup to charge the battery bank directly at 100w ^^

took it to Japan with me and it was more than plenty for my travel

It's the Anker Prime 20,000mAh 200W (A1336). It'll do 100w per USB-C port both at the same time for 200W total output ^^

oh hey :p
