Using this again today to migrate a Windows 10 installation on a ThinkPad T460 to a ThinkPad X13. Will use CloneZilla to create an image of the SATA drive and then apply that image to the nvme SSD in the X13 (which is why this command is needed).

Ebay seller shipped the Ryzen AM4 cpu just in a plastic bag between two pieces of cardboard and then in a small bubble mailer.

The pins were bent.

Took me about an hour of careful work with an exacto knife under a light to get them all bent back in place.

I guess that is one reason that AMD switched to LGA instead of PGA for their AM5 processors.

I do like AM4 and bent pins are rarely a problem... but when you do have to deal with bent pins, they sure can be frustrating.

I'm putting together a Windows XP retro gaming PC package to offer for sale.

What open source Windows 32bit games should I include pre-installed?

I ask because I am not much of a gamer and also spend most of my time with Linux, so not familiar with Windows XP games.

Was thinking of Battle for Wesnoth, but looks like the available Windows download is 64bit.

The hardware will be a Dell Optiplex 3010 with i5 3rd gen processor, so not period accurate but more than adequate for Windows XP gaming.

Excellent blog post!

I have a 2000 Subaru that I'd like to upgrade to LED lights. Didn't realize is was that expensive. Looks like you put quite a bit of time and money into it.

I think this is true. Much better to vote with our dollars (or other currency) for the things we want. A free market is a better indicator of the will of the people, both collectively and of the individual.

Fox News gets the story angle wrong.

My Take: If you haven't already, it is time to get your family out of Government Schools.

  Kitting out a full workshop can be expensive, but if you’re only working on small things, it can also be overkill. Indeed, if your machining tends towards the miniature, consider building you…

Often a boot menu can be accessed by pressing a particular key when you power-on, which may be F12, F11, F10 or Esc. And if you can bring up such a menu, you can simply select the USB drive. Alternatively, you can enter the BIOS/UEFI, again by pressing an appropriate key, which is commonly F2, Delete or Esc. Once in the BIOS you can hopefully find a setting that will change the boot order to have USB first, so that your computer will always first try to boot from an inserted USB drive. However, to work, this may also require you to disable a feature called “Secure Boot”, which you may then have turn on again to allow Windows to boot on your PC (it depends on the version). However, once in the BIOS, there is often an “Exit” or similar menu (usually on the end on the right) that offers a “boot override” facility. And this allows you to select to boot from a USB drive without having to make any BIOS changes. So here you would select your inserted USB drive, and your computer would then happily boot from it. Sadly, UEFI/BIOS settings and USB boot configurations are just not standardized, so I cannot give you a definitive set of instructions here! But I do provide more guidance in my video on “PC BIOS Settings”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezubjTO7rRI More videos on computing and related topics can be found at: http://www.youtube.com/@ExplainingComputers Chapters: 00:00 Titles & Intro 00:42 Why switch? 01:51 Applications 04:25 Distros 05:43 Testing 14:24 Installation 17:30 Migration 19:05 Linux Success #Linux #Switch #Tutorial #Windows #explainingcomputers

Let us know if you find a solution. Technically, it must be possible, but may be very manual.

I am also much more interested in programs written in #go now than when we set up our self-hosted #pleroma instance, though the resource usage of Pleroma isn't too bad.
