Actually, you probably could install Linux on a USB external HDD, modern motherboards should be able to boot from one. I was just thinking of a naked drive. Screw it into a bay just above or below the existing one, and swap over the power and SATA cables (it probably will be OK to leave power cables plugged into both drives and just swap the SATA cable. But if something doesn't seem to be working, first try depowering the unused drive.)
 
Sweet, yeah if I had a desktop I'd go for just the drive but I know sod all about laptops. Grew up taking desktops apart for fun but these baffle me so was hoping an external would work the same. Am looking at getting a desktop running again cos I feel like my Mum trying to use a laptop now, wanted to have one dedicated to running a load of old console emulators with a custom front end but I've been saying that for years and years.
 
On most laptops, the HDD is behind a plate which simply unscrews (no. 0 Phillips); but note you need a 2.5 inch laptop drive, not a 3.5 inch desktop drive. I can experiment with booting a laptop from a USB HDD, but not till tomorrow :\

Emulation and retro-gaming are most definitely possible under Linux; as is writing your own custom menu thingy ..... Linux was made to be programmed .....

I thought a "custom front end" was for cars and Vajazzles?

Ooooh time to develop (ha) a new hobby then! Need summat I can obsess over. If you do have time to have a mess about let us know, we have a spare drive kicking round I need to find, got a whole drawer full of random peripherals and wires and whatnot that I'm psyching myself up to look through

edit: ahahaha i woke up this morning and the laptop was in a 'preparing recovery' loop, tried a hard reset a few times and that didn't work, boot order was fine, so I boot into the repair menu or whatever, choose to restore to the last point, BAM, hard drives wiped. all my music, films, games gone. on the plus side punching the damn thing has made the keyboard work properly again and the speakers sound better. i miss when you had to fucking know what you were doing to wipe the whole thing instead of accidentally choosing the wrong vaguely fucking worded option

My internet connection keeps fucking dropping, causing Tinychat disconnects every 5 fucking minutes!
Well, great. Now it's completely goners.

And it's back! Guess the provider is failing...
 
I have an internet speed that maxes out at 0.6 mb/s at 3am.
It also drops completely 4/5 times daily.

The wonders of living in t'Moors, eh? 8)

Just tested my speed - 19s ping (yeah....), 4.78mb/s down, 0.7 mb/s up.

I'm sure Julie will cry at those figures.

Fucking police..fucking NHS...have worked with and for both and have always remarkably had more good to say than bad.

But you have fucked up well and truly tonight and if my father in law comes to any more harm MY god heads will roll. I am compiling a list of journalists, local papers etc as we speak...

dear fucking god let him be OK.

Twins off school with Illness and I've had to call in to look after them ( yes, that's my duty as a parent but there are two of us ) GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR You not only lose money but you let the team down. I feel like an ass!
 
Aw man, that sucks but sure people will understand, some stuff can't be helped and it's a known fact that kids are tiny little adorable germ factories.
 
Lost phone. How shite, what the hell did I do without it back in the 90s?

It's making life very difficult not having one - work, texting pals, phoning my kids, burd, dealer(s), playing solitaire while laying a turd... all snapped away from me, ripped from my life. I need that fucking device.

It's actually quite good at keeping me clean as I can't just text 'Tommy H Brown' (not his real name, although actually stored in my phone as that). Although work is shite without being just a wee bit high; however, my productivity has skyrocketed. I'm like a new man, I might go and do a moonwalk through the factory.

... but I still NEED that fucking phone. I'm an idiot when it comes to losing stuff (my mind included), dunno how many phones I've lost over the years.
 
Keep wondering that myself, though I resent how prevalent they are these days. I won't bother finding mine for a day or so if I lose it unless I actually legitimately need it, doesn't bother me but I always come back to loads of messages asking if I'm ignoring people or whatever.
 
Yeah, I use Facebook to contact the people that are important and actually like being friends with me.

Modern technology has got me out a few situations, I was in Munich once on a stag do, then I realised I had no phone or wallet, insanely drunk by myself - I was like 'Scheiße, what the fuck do I do now?!' Didn't have a clue how to get back to the apartment we'd hired, I'd only been in Germany for 6 hours for fuck sake. Good ol' internet cafe though, had to get the bloke to help me log on to Facebook and message my friends (trying to work out the German keyboard was like solving a Rubik's Cube at the time).
 
Really getting to the end of the line with one of my neighbours now. Outside my flat i have a mini lawn which is one of the few patches of grass around our little block. Anyway he often opens his front door in the mornings and lets his dog out on its own to go and do its business, which most times ends up on the grass patch outside my front door. Now several times i have told him about his dog crapping outside my door and he will then proceed to pick it up. This latest turd has now sat there for the last 3 days so i have started to photograph the last few shits his dog has done outside my door and if it continues then i shall email the dog turd photos to the housing association and let them have a word with him to sort it out.

What pissses me off even more is that in the past he asked my flatmate to remove his bird feeders as he said it led to birds crapping on his car. Even though the place he was parked in wasn't actually the space for his flat number we still removed the bird feeders just to keep the peace. Dog owners please pick up after your dogs
 
You're doing it the right way.
Evidence of an ongoing problem in images will be quite hard to ignore by the HA.

Agreed, as a dog owner, dog lover, and someone who has worked with dogs: there is no excuse not to clean up the excrement your dog produces. It doesn't just stink, you're also allowing pathogenic colonisation of anything that is nearby.
Pick up a turd, wash your hands thoroughly, not hard.

What an absolute inconsiderate bastard your neighbour sounds. Pick the turd up and stick it through his letterbox.

Glue a bird feeder to the cunt's car, feign ignorance.
