goddamn computers always a pain in my ass is it too much to ask that I have a working machine that doesnt have anything wrong with it in the year of our goddess 2025
or a machine where sourcing parts isnt a pain in the ass
ranting
lets go down the list:
two samsung netbooks, no batteries or power cables because every company needs a slightly different size of dc jack because fuck you
panasonic Toughbook with the world's shittiest possible keyboard and a fan that might be failing
HP Mini 110-3000 with no battery, potentially flaky dc jack.
a random dell laptop that got cider spilt on it and has no keyboard and thus no power button
this is just my fault isnt it. im sure it is. its the default reasoning my brain jumps to.
