I finally got fed up with Windows 11 when an update broke itself during an update. Apparently it was a pretty widespread issue. Defender got disabled because the update renamed several files.

I moved to PopOS and have been happy ever since. I couldn’t believe that almost everything on my Lenovo Flex 5 just worked, including the touchscreen, pen, and 360 degree hinge. The only thing that doesn’t work is the finger print sensor apparently due to lack of available drivers.

I really like how modern PopOS feels.

Sorry it took me so long.

I think you’re right, I didn’t notice it initially. Maybe I can find or make a better video.

I can’t speak to the design. I’ve just worked with this type of knife for years and I thought it was a fairly standard design.

I’m not advocating for one design over another, I’m just trying to spread awareness.

This is true, everyone has an option, however education is helpful. The more people that understand how things work, the less likely they are to hurt themselves if they encounter it.

That’s exactly how it works. And every time you boot to the USB drive you’re presented a boot menu with a list of isos. You pick the iso you want and then it boots normally to that iso.

So it’s two pieces of magic that make my life easy.

1. I just copy the iso to the USB drive.
2. The boot menu is automatically refreshed every time you boot using it. No updating the menu required!

Its one of those things, once I started using it, I can’t imagine how I worked without it.

Haha yeah I guess when you tldr it that’s what it boils down too. Though when you’re seeing things that don’t exist, if covering your eyes didn’t work… I guess it’s time for a hospital trip.

Also, thanks I’m glad I figure it out too.

Yeah it was crazy scarry. I also had a lot of stress in my life at the time and I didn’t realize how much stress and burnout had built up within me. I’m sure that helped contribute to my sleeping situation more so than scarry movies. The sad truth is the boring day to day of real life is more horrific than any horror film.

I was either experiencing this or something similar to it. I was waking in the night and seeing things in the dark that I was sure was there. Really terrible things. A person standing in the corner of my room, something crawling on the ceiling.

I did some reading on the subject and decided to try a sleep mask for a few days. The whole time I wore it I never experienced the visions again. So after that test I decided to get blackout curtains because it was the light bleeding in from a streetlamp that was contributing to the hallucinations.

Yeah, I ended up just tossing another $15 at Parted Magic. It really just has all the tools you want on in one place. Great for recovery or destruction.

I’ll second ventroy. It actually just works.
I have a 256GB usb stick loaded with various install isos. It’s great being able to just copy over the iso instead of having to image them every time I need one.

Reading this I couldn’t help but say aloud: “Yeah, no shit.”

I refuse to install anything Facebook related on my outcome. I was one who has to walk away.

I was considering them until they removed expansion storage on their phones.
