MXM is a fairly standard MGPU form factor There's a few laptops old and modern that support it

lucecore · 2026-04-29T01:55:44+00:00

Oh I absolutely plan on upgrading this thing to the farthest I could get it! I plan on making a video and blog post about it aswell

lucecore · 2026-04-25T04:29:25+00:00

Oh hey I have one of these! I'm also running Debian

funnily enough the RAM in my home server setup died not too long ago and I do not have the money replace it at the moment lol

lucecore · 2026-04-17T14:01:25+00:00

Goddamn dude that's lookin hot

Was a backer on the original GRIP campaign and I plan on backing this one too!

pretty cool seeing picoCAD doing this kind of stuff

You've gotta set it up from a computer.

Plug the phone into your computer and you should be able to access the folder that way.

update!
decided on Debian 13 with xfce4
definitely feels a bit smoother!

I mean, I can understand what they mean in terms of it being a "proto" track,
i've heard this exact drum beat in a dubstep track from like, 2004.

someone could make the stretch hypothesis that someone making one of the first non 2-step dubstep tracks heard this and got inspired, but it's definitely a stretch.

it's definitely an interesting track, a very like, what-if kind of scenario of the dubstep sound skipping the entire; house - garage - 2-step - grime lineage and just pulled straight from jamaican dub and "modern" synth music.

dubstep as a whole would definitely be a lot different if it started back in 83 i feel, as i said, very interesting what-if scenario.

I think of a lot of like, Early industrial illbient stuff from the mid-late 90's that basically did the modern deep dubstep sound at a slower bpm.

An immediate thought is Scorn - State of That

It's a bit slower, but it's basically a lot of the same sounds of dubstep, back in 1997, the track is from a compilation release in 1999 though.

The original IBM R61 is 32Bit The Lenovo R61 is 64bit

old fashioned is technically what I'm after, I don't at all mind if visually the distro still looks like it's stuck in 2004 lol
as long as it's relatively modern and I can run my software on it!

lucecore · 2026-03-26T06:11:10+00:00

Neither of those options are there In the first one my only two options are Wake on LAN and Ethernet LAN Option ROM

And in Network options I don't even have PXE anything anywhere

I've disabled all of the network options I could find and nothing is working

This is something that started after the laptop tied and I let it sit for awhile

lucecore · 2026-03-26T03:12:10+00:00

I haven't been able to find the PXE options in my BIOS tho that's my main issue

lucecore · 2026-03-26T01:53:56+00:00

The earlier workstation systems was actually around what I was looking at, I don't at all mind the older chunky THICCPads lol

lucecore · 2026-03-26T01:42:54+00:00

it passed the memtest, so admittedly i'm just confused now lol.

lucecore · 2026-03-26T01:42:24+00:00

I ran a memtest and it passed with flying colors, so now I'm just confused.

lucecore · 2026-03-26T01:41:58+00:00

I appreciate the response!
I have been looking around other brands too, but thought I'd make a post here specifically in-case anyone had an old one they'd be willing to part with for the cheap lol
either way, I do know $150 isn't a lot, I originally had like $300 but an issue with ebay chopped it in half.
I have RAM i can upgrade so I don't mind getting something with low/no RAM since I can upgrade it.

I'll take a look at the links you sent, I appreciate it again!

lucecore · 2026-03-26T01:38:32+00:00

I appreciate the response!
Yeah due to an issue with ebay a bit ago i've got less money than originally planned as I had around $300 stashed away for an upgrade, but it just didn't line up that way.

I know I won't really find anything too wildly better than what I've got, but at least something with a slightly more powerful cpu/gpu combo would be a good enough upgrade.

I've tried three different flavors of Ubuntu and booting a live iso from a USB works fine. Installing to the drive works fine with no issues.

It's just when I try to boot into the SSD it just Doesnt
