I maintain older hardware at work. We have a platform based on a Biostar motherboard with no USB3 ports, and it will not boot from any USB3 drive I’ve tried. Any USB2 drives work fine. Picky, picky! 🤷

Anybody have a direct download link instead of a link to Twatter like in the article?

My Wisconsin friends verified that this is legit.

Thanks for replying, everyone! This project is temporarily on hold; downloading and sha256sum-ming some different isos led me to discover that my main system has a RAM issue. 🤦

I just learned to not trust motherboards’ automatic RAM voltage setting; only one of four sticks seems to be sensitive to the apparent undervoltage that it was running on.

Edit: I hope that whoever designed the style of RAM slot that has a latch on only one side stubs their toe every day for the rest of their life.

If you uninstall (or disable) Google Photos, that button should ask what app you want to open.

Try some non-Razer input devices. I’ve seen multiple systems act strangely because of them, although the usual problem is that the system won’t POST with the offending device plugged in… Unplug, boot system, plug in, and it works fine (until it’s time to reboot or power-cycle).

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Day after day, your home life’s a wreck

The powers that be just breathe down your neck

You get no respect, you get no relief

You gotta speak up and yell out your piece

So, back off your rules, back off the jive

'cause I’m sick of not living to stay alive

Leave me alone, not asking a lot

I don’t wanna be controlled

That’s all I want
