Oh, I saw all that. They probably have like, 4 engineers. Im in that industry, in the area. Never heard of them. Just looking at the fixtures and molds and stuff on their websites, I would be willing to bet they do well under $10M a year. Maybe even under $5M. Tiny.

You guys realize this company is tiny, right? The guy stabbed isn’t some rich CEO. He just runs a machine shop. In Muskegon. Which is basically nowhere. Also, the guy is expected to live, and Nathan was arrested in 15 minutes. This story is no comparison, it’s just sad.

I have one Seagate drive. It’s a 500 GB that came in my 2006 Dell Dimension E510 running XP Media Center. When that died in 2011, I put it in my custom build. It ran until probably 2014, when suddenly I was having issues booting and I got a fresh WD 1 TB. Put it in a box, and kept it for some reason. Fast forward to 2022, I got another Dell E510 with only an 80 GB. Dusted off the old 500 GB and popped it in. Back with XP Media Center. The cycle is complete. That drive is still noisy as fuck.

That’s the only problem? What about how the blinds are outside of the tub, directing all the water directly to the floor?

Oh yeah, I don’t think he’s going to be doing that either. I think this is plain old uninstalling pre-installed HP stuff and hoping for the best kind of situation.

Mint is definitely at LEAST as easy to install as Windows, if not easier. As long as all the stuff on his laptop is supported out of the box. I love my Mint install, but last month I spent 40 minutes on github trying to find the right release of the open driver to work with my revision of network adapter, and the amount of work in the terminal was undoubtedly more than somebody asking this question would be comfortable with.

Yeah, I’d say that is too complex as well. I kinda think his best bet is uninstalling whatever HP crap he can, and just hope for the best.

I’m concerned about OP’s ability to upgrade a drive based on the nature of the question. I’d like to also throw in some help with cloning a drive.

Guy is asking if he can download free software to get more ssd space. And while TECHNICALLY Linux does fit the bill for this (and is awesome), I’m willing to wager OP does not have the technical skill set for it at this time.

I know what I would do with my social credits. I’s get healthy.

Yeah, that sucks. What a pain. I’m pretty lucky, almost all my games are on Steam and run great. And for my old stuff, I still have an XP machine. I don’t have any special software I need to run at home, either. I’ve got NX on my work laptop, and Windows is the company’s problem there. Good luck with 11, I hope it won’t be too much of a pain to debloat for you.

Yeah, agreed. I had to be pulled into 10 kicking and screaming. 7 was great. I got used to 10, but never loved it. And now I guess I’m done with Windows, which is kinda sad. I’ve been using it since Win95.

11.1. Like 8.1.

I don’t buy hardware until it drops below a certain price point, so when I finally have a PC capable enough, the game price is coincidentally also lower.

Someday.

Thanks. The T-BB18 is definitely bigger than the modern m575. And even though I don’t have huge hands, it is still more comfortable to me. I made an ergonomic stand for it, too. Totally copied the concept from one somebody did for the m570, but it had to be bigger and have completely different mounting.

I’ve had mine since 2004. I’ve replaced the cord 3 times, and designed a 3D printed replacement scroll wheel for it. It’s still going strong.

Well, that’s the dumbest thing I’ve read in a while. I have a Trackman from 2004 that’s still plugging along, no subscription software updates required. If your stuff isn’t shit, it lasts forever anyways.

Oh, i complete misread your comment. Sorry! I see that now. Steam and GOG are the only stores I have, I don’t play a lot of new games.

I have quite a few. My wife’s favorites are Versace Eros, Versace Dylan Blue, and Dior Sauvage. My personal favorites are Mont Blanc Explorer, Mont Blanc Explorer Ultra Blue, and Viktor Rolf Spicebomb Fresh.
