You should see the awesome quantities of shite I've accumulated in my home & in my studio, on the off-chance that it might one day 'come in'.
The apocalypse or Brexit, whichever comes sooner.
A pleonasm shirely? Aren't they one and same?
I hold out the hope that Brexit might be a bit more whimpery than the other thing.
Aye, but will be dependent on who's in charge come the actual day. :-Y
Anyway, here's a ridiculous thing about my backup PC because I knew you're all hanging on my every word, I got a replacement motherboard (different make) and stuffed it and all the working bits in a new case and plugged it in and - FUCK ME! A few minutes of hesitation, wiggle the video cable and reboot - and it all works perfectly. No OS reinstall, no non-functioning devices, no exclamation marks in device manager*, not even anything odd in event viewer. It's as though the Update Pixie, or Sooty, has sprinkled my new build with oofle-dust and Izzy-Wizzy Lets Get Busy it all just works. Backups are back-upping, Plex is Plexxing.
*well, one, because of shitty Intel AMT which I hope a BIOS update will lose
I think Willy wants to get busy with you.
Have you finished the music thing?
I've lost track.
Well, I wanted to be able to leave it alone again for a few years.
...Oh, and it invalidated the Windows license key and 'deactivated' it. But using an old Windows 7 key worked fine.
Got all the bits now but haven't got round to building it yet.
