@atomicpoet@atomicpoet.org @bcasiello@floss.social @alice@lgbtqia.space Problem with HP is that buying their consumer stuff is a lottery – you may get a jackpot and a computer that'll work forever, but you're more likely to get utter trash that'll self-destruct the day after warranty expires. Their business lines are solid in my experience, and there's also a huge difference between consumer and business service if anything does go wrong.

@whitequark@social.treehouse.systems @gsuberland@chaos.social Having the installer always-on-top is a bit annoying (though it does add to authenticity). Also, interestingly enough, in high contrast mode the re-parented window has a more modern look:

@hikari@social.noyu.me I had to switch to "legacy" input box on the desktop, because keyboard navigation is completely broken in the "modern" one (it's also broken in legacy input box, just not completely).

@manawyrm@chaos.social The first computer we had at home was a 286 in '89, and the first one I bought myself was Celeron 450 in '99, but if pictures of those exist, they're somewhere in albums (well, technically the computer in the picture and the one I still use today can be traced all the way back to the one I bought in '99, because I just keep upgrading that piece-by-piece).

@manawyrm@chaos.social This is probably the oldest picture of my computer, from January 2004 (I never cared enough to take pictures of my desktop before that).
I think this is an Athlon XP 2500+, with either 1 or 2 GB RAM, no idea which graphic card (probably GeForce 2MX), Pioneer DVD-ROM, Teac CD-RW, Teac DVD-RW optical drives, 8+40+40GB hard drives (Quantum, IBM, Maxtor), Hansol H530 15″ 1024x768 LCD monitor, Umax Astra 2100 USB scanner (with Via Eden 5000 mini-ITX board resting on it), and yes, the whole computer was built-into the drawers of my desk.

@mcc@mastodon.social There's a stupid workaround: type a path into the text box (must be different from current) and press Enter – when the box switches to the new path, it'll restore the original file name.

@niconiconi@mk.absturztau.be I was genuinely surprised when I connected the AliExpress switch with two 10 GbE ports that sits next to my modem to HPE 1950 switch in my basement, and 10 Gb link worked, despite the 55 m distance over 20 years old CAT5e. There are two more 2x10Gb+4x2.5Gb switches between my workstation and the modem switch, and I still got around 920 MB/s through SMB.
I did have to replace those 55m of CAT5e about half a year later, when it simply refused to connect one day (there's a much shorter run of CAT7 now – the original cable went round and round the stairwell, I put the new one through the holes that were drilled for fibre internet).

@niconiconi@mk.absturztau.be Oh, and for extra fun – the distributor's B2B store described a 3rd product revision – same shape, but the two ports at the back were USB2 only (both of mine had USB3 ports in the front and back).

@niconiconi@mk.absturztau.be These were bought from a local distributor, about a month apart (about a decade ago). The only difference was a revision number, which was only printed on the sticker on the hub – the box was identical.

@winload_exe@wetdry.world @Rairii@labyrinth.zone I like the Pro N builds because they seem to be missing a lot of the crap that's in regular Pro (eg. suggestions in Start Menu), and they activate on any machine that had Pro activated. Doing a repair install (through Windows Update → Additional options → Recovery) does fix the problems, and it also looks like 26H1 doesn't have these problems either.
