  • I'm probably still gonna try it later, managed to re-format the laptop back to windows and get it working again... still no issues outside linux related things but I'm open to the possibility that it might just be bad luck with hardware.

  • Reporting back, rufus fucked it up even more, laptop is now bricked. I know y'all are gonna say it has nothign to do with Linux but it was working perfectly for years right up until today when I tried to install Mint.

    (Bricked as in boots up but won't boot to the Linux preview OR windows, possibly salvagable with a windows boot stick but currently a paperweight)

  • I mean I got past that part as per the list. I've installed a custom win10 on the same laptop using the same USB before and it worked flawlessly. So far Mint just seems to be far more finicky about hardware than win10.

  • I followed the instructions to use Etcher, etcher itself crashed but it was a pretty easy fix running it in administrator mode and apparently a known issue. Its weird because the live preview works fine. The stick was made on the same machine I'm trying to install linux on.

  • The concept isn't entierly unlike fracking though there are some key differences.

    • No hydrocarbons to leak into the local water supply, their presence would actually make an area less suitable.
    • No drilling mud being pumped in.
    • No net removal of material, water goes in, the same water comes out.

    Now pumping high pressure water into the ground could have some localized seismic effects though they should be pretty minimal as the best kind of rock for this kind of deep well geothermal is dense hard rock than carries more heat energy.

  • We got some of it, its just that killer drones and SI aren't as cool on this side of the screen, and the cyberware is only for rich people (though there is a growing 3D printed movement for amputees) That said with some craft skills we can at least make the cool punk armor and kneepads and have it be reasonably functional, even deploy a blade if you're ambitious, though more predator than mantis in that regard.

    Be the change you want to see.
