Hey, What's up? Been Breaking the home pc since the mid 90's. '00s I was skinning my gta character as the guy from hitman 2 just because. with xp, i changed up the whole interface. winedit or something like that... making new start menu icons pixel by pixel so i wouldn't add too many bytes to the code. Some of the error messages i changed on my friends computers... i was funny then.

learned html from all the help files that came with the games i would get loaned to me. made a webpage for some church up the street. paid me 50$. i didn't have the internet for another 4 or 5 years. well forgot all that. several years ago, i was going to make some side cash buying up old chromebooks and installing linux on them. man. Samsung 550c, i think it was, was a killer machine for 15$ a pop! I'm a really bad salesman and would end up giving them away to fiends with kids and then got distracted. phones too, that was my thing with the first note 2 i found in a snowbank and kept going for 3 years! I loved rooting phones. i was not the best around by any means but was doing pretty good for not knowing that that would come to a head with, idk all the bs that tuned it into too much of a headache to bother keeping all those parts phones and this asus tablet, verizon branded. months i messed with this thing. dude sold it to me for 15 bucks. wasn't even stolen. i tracked down more programming software and more firmware images and pieced them together, wth is a firehose? i found out then. ended up with a clean slate with nothing but a unix style command interface before i put it down. So I did manage to break verizons security protocols on my trusty 550c.
Still not a programmer. I just like getting boxes in the mail. So busted crap on ebay is my jam. right now i have, functional, t70 i7 with touch screen, t470s, t480, my s is missed. l14 i ordered from Lithuania for 10$ and 10$ shipping that got here faster than whatever i was buying out of the valley that week. 20 minutes of frankenseining it and it was loading windows 11 from a external. the thing was smashed.
bios locks are starting to become a real problem now. that l14, with a dutch keyboard, bios lock. a lot of freedom to get around but not quite enough, and it doesn't have a battery and i cant justify buying one. so that's an ,eh... hurdle. My other one is a fast as hell 5401 i9 that WAS NOT supposed to be bios locked but i couldn't send it back with the price i got it for. I was the only bidder @ 54@ for the mobo. the first one was no power and failed to mention the obvios dakari that was dumped on it. Churches, pfft, am i right? well this is loaded to the gills 512 micron nvme and 1gb wd blue for games. 64gb random ram. but that damn locked bios is telling me i cant do stuff i want to do and i need to rectify that. then i have this hp i just got, this hp dy100. it got ran over or something. i got it running pretty well, but the mouse caught on fire and i it's just kind of boring. thought the 10th gen i7 would be an upgrade... ok so that's it for now. i have go play not computer nerd for a few hours and go try not to get too more dumberer... thanls.
