Trying to disable the lid close sensor on my laptop. My issue is twofold. It's a convertible (pavilion x360) and I'm using bunsenlabs Linux.

The one machine I had that ran Millennium Edition was a Sony laptop that came out right after it launched. Since it was the oem install, ig it survived for some time. My dad used it for Oracle DB work before I got it and used as a computer that could access the internet. I've only had one bsod with it. But realplayer deleted all my VXD files.

You actually have to exit the setup menu(f2 iirc), run a specific command, and then it will let you make an offline account.

If you don't have a NIC, it will make you get an internet connection before proceeding. That was my experience on my laptop. What had happened was that for whatever reason, my wifi card wouldn't work with the amd motherboard in my laptop (it wasn't cnvio, and it was the same issue with ac 7265 and an ax210). So I had to resort to that to install windows.

ME wasn't that bad. I think I just got lucky in terms of stability?

The fall of the house of usher by Mr Poe was also interesting.

Did yours overheat really badly? My 11th gen i5 pavilion did. Repaste, everything. Just ran super hot on battery. It'd kick on the fan and goodbye battery

That's actually nuts. I have an iphone x, I remember when that came out and everyone was surprised that it was as fast as an i5-7200u. Yeah sure it's a dual core laptop chip but still very impressive.
