Dude, Microsoft has gotten really bad lately. I upgrades the SSD in a surface pro X I’m giving to a friend. I went to use Microsoft own recovery image for this device and it doesn’t fucking work. It literally kept erasing the flash drive when you tried to boot off it. You can’t use the generic win11 ARM image either because it’s a surface product and they can’t complete the install that way.

I ended up having to clone the old SSD with DD into the new one, move the recovery partition to the end with gparted, then use windows reset my pc thing.

The ability to upgrade the SSD was an advertised feature of the surface pro X. You literally cannot use the product they way they sell it to you.

I use Mac with no problems. I use Linux with the occasional fixable hiccup. I want to punch the pope in the fucking throat when I use windows.

There was something about 8bitguy that set off warnings in my head for years. He had a few cunty moments and weird takes, but nothing I could point directly at and say “oooh, you’re one of those.”

Last time I had that feeling about someone? Elon Musk plugging a much younger Tesla.

Which makes me think his choice of a Tesla was deliberate. He has plenty of better EV options he can afford to get but he deliberately chose an inferior car that happens to be a political lightning rod. Either he’s incredibly dumb (he’s not) or he’s being a jackass. The timing of him plugging a Tesla on his channel is also very suspect.

Mark Rober has had a Tesla for years. He already had the thing before the rest of the world figured out Elon was a Nazi. He did a video that was critical of the car and explained the way the tech worked. It’s better to avoid a toxic brand like Tesla but he pulled it off. Mark gave a perfect example of how to handle a toxic brand in your content. 8bitguy was practically praising Monsanto.

Alpine has a simple diskless install process. Nobody else does. Alpine wins.

Mandrake

There’s some people who have managed to get it working under podman

Nope

I do and I never get emails from my ISP.

Well, this should make for some fun, new script-kiddie malware.

pft, designated by man

Seriously, when will the Vatican just kick all the republicans out of their little cult? You want to build a better reputation, you start by distancing yourself from monsters.

Many women are perfectly content being alone and childless. That’s why these guys are actually angry. They need women. Women don’t need them. Rather than improve themselves to appear more appealing to women, they want to enslave and drag women down to their level.

Politicians looks at numbers. There are lots of degenerates like this, so many you can count on their vote if you entertain their abuse. Politicians see this is an unpopular choice to make with women so now they want to keep women from voting.

These fuckers should be killed.

The goal is to create a world that serves the needs of as many people as possible. These fuckers instead want to enslave everyone to as few as possible. They are missing the point. Every time that has happened in history it has led to collapse.

I just have so much hate in me right now.

You know what? I know this was a joke but this is a fantastic idea. A way to protest that even the old and weak can take part in. What are you going to do, outlaw feeding birds? Good luck with that.

Dude there’s probably a business in that. People typically just get hookers for that weird situation where a rich powerful man has to go to an event and bring a plus one, and he can’t find a woman who doesn’t hate him so he has to rent one by the hour.

Make it an app. Fuck it. Lets let the business majors ruin that too.

Does anyone know how we ended up with penguins as the logo? I kinda get the BSD demon “beastie.” Microsoft chose the windows flag/window pane. Mac has an Apple/the finder face. Android is a cute green robot. iOS pretends to be too sophisticated for a mascot so we’ll just say it’s the Apple again.

And yet we somehow got penguins.

A scam

Well there’s a lot of documentation out there online about this and other vehicles CAN bus messages. People much smarter than me have already got the bulk of this figured out. I’m just putting the pieces together in a different way. My bolt is a 2017. It’s outside the date range you described.

woot! let me know what you come up with.

there is no setup and the instructions for a manual install keep getting me weird complaints from systemd about dependancies. It occurs to me that tackling this is error doesn’t make sense because it requires systemd to work and ultimately I want to run this on a diskless alpine linux install which doesnt use systemd.

It’s not that we can’t do this that has kept it from happening yet. It’s that it’s never been practical.

Scenes like this make me giggle.
