  • I bought a laptop very similar (same model group but from the year after) to this just before Christmas for my niece. Got it 2nd hand, as my brother was just looking a laptop that she could browse on and maybe do some homework.

    I refurbished it and got it cleaned up and I tried lubuntu, xubuntu, linux mint xfce and one other (forget now). Same thing kept happening. Would simply freeze when trying to boot them. Had removed Secure Boot too.

    After couple days of trying I ended up giving up and going with a Windows 10 LTSC IoT version from Massgrave for her.

    Wish I had better news or something more productive for you. Sorry!



  • Came to say Serenity (it’s just a great end, tying up a main plot point and a small background plot point, with a fantastically emotional end) but since that is already top of the list I will go with a terrible one.

    Sense8.

    Started out as pretty great series, I absolutely adored the first series. I felt the quality was there even if super cheesy at parts. Then the 2nd series happened and soon after, news it was cancelled. The quality had dropped quite a lot but still not terrible. Then they were given the opportunity to do a 2 n a half hr special to tie up loose ends.

    It was massively rushed, the quality was completely gone, some of the characters just acted so different from how they had been previously and some were barely in it.

    To be honest, I think I am still grateful, at least we got a resolution but sometimes i remember how sucky it was, i think perhaps they should have just left it on a high (even though it had already started to falter in the 2nd series)




  • According to Israel, they have, ahem… ‘the most moral military in the world’. And according to this psychiatrist these suicides are attributed to ‘moral injury’ due to ‘accidentally’ killing women and children.

    With the amount of women and children murdered by the Israeli army, surely the entire army should have killed themselves through ‘moral injury’?

    Perhaps the truth is simpler, Israel is a genocidal apartheid ethnocolony that forces its citizens to be complicit in its bloodshed through conscription and these are the few soldiers with any shred of morals left.
