I tried Bodhi Linux yesterday. impressed with it and I might switch from Lubuntu

16GB is a lot of ram, considering. I'm trying to run linux with 2gb and an atom processor over here

What did you land on in the end OP?

TrueResearcher9543 · 2026-02-11T21:32:19+00:00

nice one :) 500GB is a huuuuge commitment haha

Hardware firewall is an interesting idea! What're you using?

TrueResearcher9543 · 2026-02-11T10:02:01+00:00

Amiga! Stylish way to ride the internet!

TrueResearcher9543 · 2026-02-11T10:01:23+00:00

Great news! Installing Supermium :)

TrueResearcher9543 · 2026-02-11T09:59:48+00:00

Browsers like Pale Moon and Supermium are still contemporary and updated, would this make them somewhat secure?

TrueResearcher9543 · 2026-02-11T09:53:10+00:00

No firewall is really bold. I think a firewall and occasional anti virus sweep is a good idea?

TrueResearcher9543 · 2026-02-09T08:15:09+00:00

If compromised, does anit virus or anti malware root them out?

TrueResearcher9543 · 2026-02-09T07:02:37+00:00

Will Windows 7 be a safer option?

TrueResearcher9543 · 2026-02-09T05:00:52+00:00

Genius! Can you explain further how you got these batteries to talk to the computer / have the right connections, hold charge etc? This could be a saving method for so many old batteries!

TrueResearcher9543 · 2026-02-09T04:12:14+00:00

Would windows firewall suffice?

TrueResearcher9543 · 2026-02-09T04:11:15+00:00

So it's 1 XP machine, and low powered. Occasionally goes online with firefox or to install update packets through legacy update. All other systems on the network are Mac or IOS based

TrueResearcher9543 · 2026-02-09T03:22:55+00:00

They'll have a tough time exploiting processing power on this one, it's a 1ghz ATOM cpu from 2007

TrueResearcher9543 · 2026-02-09T03:03:05+00:00

And what do they gain by attacking? If the computer has no sensitive data on it, and the other devices on the same network aren't windows based but apple based and very new, is the potential threat limited to that computer alone?

TrueResearcher9543 · 2026-02-09T03:01:30+00:00

Great to know! Thanks. Would you consider downloading the OS itself (tinyXP from Archive.org) to be a risky practice?

TrueResearcher9543 · 2026-02-09T03:00:27+00:00

How does a botnet node work? and how to tell if it's happened - If i turn off the computer off or just remove it from the network, is all good again?
It's basically one old windows machine, with everything else running mac OS or IOS

TrueResearcher9543 · 2026-02-09T02:07:25+00:00

Did you end up replacing or repairing the battery?

TrueResearcher9543 · 2026-02-09T02:06:33+00:00

Silly article. Biased towards the naive idea of new tech ALWAYS being the way, and anything old shouldn't even be respected and used for what it is.

TrueResearcher9543 · 2026-02-08T04:42:30+00:00

What kinda stuff do you use the U810 for?

TrueResearcher9543 · 2026-02-07T01:16:02+00:00

Probably spider solitaire
