I’m baffled by how many companies would recommend setting this to “Low” as a basic troubleshooting step.

Loving these asset tags. Check out the ‘9’ on the stamped one.

Ah, the '80s, when downloading games was basically a mixtape from a radio DJ with a side gig in software distribution. Yes, kids, grandpa rocked the airwaves to load Pac-Man at a leisurely 10 bytes per century.

Yes, in the 1980s we downloaded games from the radio

Ah, yes, the "Internet of Agents" needs its own TCP/IP. Because what better way to solve AI's communication issues than recycling 1980s tech jargon? Maybe next, we'll hear about AI needing its very own "dial-up" moment.

Win98-quickinstall: A framework and installer to quickly install Windows 98

https://github.com/oerg866/win98-quickinstall

I scored 2 #Thinkpad #X260 laptops at #EFM #electronicsfleamarket in March with a handful of batteries for really cheap.
a i7 2.6Ghz and an i5 2.4Ghz

The i7 is immaculate, and is running great.
The i5 has some issues. Opening it up it was missing the SSD and SODIMM RAM, and I noted some corrosion on the aluminum frame around the SSD slot.

Getting it to moot up, there is this really weird spotting and "worms" with the #LCD that is really distracting. Not sure how this happened - and would love any insights as to the what & why this happened.
I suspect just easier to swap out the 12.5" 1366x768 for something with better resolution?

I did order two 32 GB DDR4 2666 SODIMMs from #aliexpress - the unofficial max #RAM for these X260's - and they work great. Both the i7 & the i5 detect the SODIMMs in the BIOS and in Win11. I initially had some spare 16GB SODIMMs in them, but why not max out the RAM when most apps and browsers are memory hogs lately?
