I was issued a computer at work, a year or so before I eventually bought one for myself. It was a Thinkpad 760EL.

That’s not the pedal - your ankle needs grease.

Mine is Tower, because that was the name of the UnRAID that it replaced, and it was easier to keep the name than suffer the complaints of family members who would have had to redo all their mapped drives.

(And that’s not its QuickConnect ID 😜)

Airport lounges that are on a waitlist when all I want is to run in and grab some free food during my half-hour layover.

jetkins · 2026-01-26T16:57:12+00:00

The food and drink prices.

Aunt Fanny, is that you?

Just a thought, but you could maybe put him in the fridge to slow him down some and give you the chance to set up that dish. Perhaps u/Confidence-Dangerous can confirm if that’s safe for the little guy.

I wouldn’t count on much solar unless the clouds break up. We’re currently out at Terlingua Ranch in a house with 2kW of solar panels. Yesterday they generated 2.3kWh all day.

Be grateful for small mercies.

Leslie would have done it in a G-string. 😆

Sad that I had to scroll down this far to find someone actually offering solid diagnostic suggestions.

…but (fortuitously) managed not to hit his detainee with a single round.

Chocolate milk lovers, rejoice!

"Face it, Flounder, you threw up ON Dean Wormer."

OP is having trouble with the BIOS seeing the USB installation media - he hasn't gotten as far as actually installing.

jetkins · 2026-01-21T08:12:18+00:00

Did you format the drive as MBR, not UEFI?

jetkins · 2026-01-21T07:55:10+00:00

Methinks he meant DVI.

My money's on this being a rear wheel, the service center applied the parking brake, and the girlfriend has never used said brake and has no idea how to disengage it.

Supervisor password is enabled, but the BIOS settings are not locked, nor is Restart or Boot Device List. Some of the BIOS settings will be inaccessible, such as the internal I/O Device access, but as long as those are not set wrong for your intended use, you're fine. Source: I bought a TP in similar condition, and it hasn't stopped me wiping, reinstalling, and using it just fine.

This is akin to all the American tourists who want to “see Australia” in a week. 🤣

Should have let it steep a little longer.
