Today is Day 1 of Chinese New Year...

...welp, figured out why my well-worn StarTech USB 3.1 Gen 2 enclosure was seemingly coming apart despite the screws having been fully driven home. Turns out the cover was warped. Took it off, bent it back, and put it back on.

(probably because of the way it's stored and carried in my bag)

Aluminum does bend easily...

Happy new virus day!

lol

All this time people were worried about chinese gov hackers and virusses.... and the current danger is not PC relevant :)

@JourneymanGeek Yeah that was her ;P

So I got some heat shrink tubing

...which doesn't shrink enough

Now even a doctors died

making me think the virus was spreading far before anyone knew

@djsmiley2kTMW Yeah, pretty much

Hello guys!

Question: I am having problems with my internet connection (via Wi-Fi) on my notebook. Now I want to try to download the WLAN driver from my notebook manufacturer

I have installed Windows 10, but in the webpage of my notebook (same model) it says the driver is for Windows 8.1

Should I download the driver or should I not?

Since it's the Year of the Rat... theguardian.com/world/2019/feb/27/…

Oh no!

I really wish I had the time to keep some pet rats...

(yes, people do keep rats as pets, and they're cute)

(and this is not the first time I've written about pet rats...)

My friend had pet rats

They were nice

Really sad when they got ill

Yeah, they're not very long-lived. Something in the ballpark of three years...

(testing USB overload protection on Astaroth by using a stripped USB cable to short out a port as the system POSTs)

Under Windows, I get the expected "Power surge on the USB port" error from the system.
