in this case i had some visual corruption until powered off to cool, booting again hasn't given me any output yet, but I very likely just mistyped Fn+F4 for hibernate as Fn+F3 for S3 which is linked to suspend-then-hibernate and didn't verify the LEDs since i was in a hurry

this being a Toshiba, it does also have a lid switch problem in that it's not an SW_LID and so usually doesn't report as open again until flapped after booting, which is, admittedly, less of a problem than the converse would be

the kernel that came with WSL straight-up didn't support 32-bit ELFs, which meant that (a) it was absolutely useless to me and (b) despite clicking the "Install: Debian" button in Microsoft Store I didn't get a Debian kernel, which was slightly misleading at best

like, historically, you could get 30/50/80/250/500G disks; ive only seen 16/64/256/512G SSDs, and beside the multi-terabyte market, that's all you really get nowadays i think

does this matter? not really, no; does it indicate a larger cultural shift? possible, but not likely

left: good
right: not good, especially since i have this drive minor hell and it didn't really budge so im pretty sure this is a false positive but also this is SMART and hence to be mostly trusted and everything sucks and i hate it

oh wow unhibernation at 200+ish MiB/s instead of 106-111? to a system that isn't mostly unusable for minutes as it thrashes to read all the file-backed pages back? lightdm actually showing up instead of masquerading as i915 assert failure? it's a new era

it has taken a (mostly) full rollback to a snapshot before running any part of "kubernetes" for "kubeadm init" to do something beside telling me to piss off; what an achievement

also the Docker™ For Windows® installer shat on all virtualisation settings that the installer didn't roll back so badly that it took seven reboots and two pre-boot "Disabling Windows Security Feature" menus to get HAXM back in order. i love to compute

for all of the windows design decisions that I don't necessarily agree with, there is something striking about getting UEFI text-mode prompts with just white-on-black text in the era of large rendered text and animations in the bootloader. it definitely gave them a lot of weight

after a particularly turbulent Poczta Polska experience, i now have a 2242 NVMe disk with a 2280 crutch

im not sure if it's cute or cursed yet, and i don't think I'll ever know

better yet, despite being a Lenovo OEM part (sticker removed to spare the reader), it enumerates and works when plugged in through a riser, although, rather hilariously, the PCIe controller name is "SK hynix BC501 NVMe Solid State Drive 512GB", despite this being a 120G device

moved the disk to the slot where the main 2280 NVMe goes and it enumerates now; delightful

so, according to a random Dell website, this M.2 B key can be any of "PCIe x2/SATA/USB/UART-12C/SSIC/UIM/PCM", but this is a PC so it's gonna be PCIe x2, SATA, or USB and there's antennae so it's not gonna be SATA, but I entirely forgot about USB. is this a USB slot?
