This is an Acer Aspire ES1-512 with integrated Intel graphics, so I am still betting it’s likely the RAM stick that decided it didn’t want to be alive anymore. Luckily for me I can get a new 8 GB DDR3L stick for like 12 USD.

It’s a single stick :|

Only type of laptop I find acceptable :>

I’m thinking it might be RAM cause when I booted it early today it had a similar corruption happen just as I opened a few tabs on Firefox, then it wouldn’t start. I fully charged it and tried to start again, and it was working fine until the login screen, whereas it corrupted again and resulted in the photo I took.

The power light keeps flashing when I turn it on now, so I suspect it might be RAM failure.

I’m gonna try to shove a Linux Mint distro on it. But if this error happens again I’ll know it’s the RAM and will take measures to replace it.

EDIT: Seems like the power led keeps flashing on and off, so that’s probably it…

I was using Windows 11 before cause I wanted to use the Xbox app so I could get Rewards points if I left my gaming PC, but with the bad quality of the SSD installed on it I might just shove Linux Mint on it and call it a day. My only usage intention is programming/browsing the web. And if I ever get a bigger SSD I could just use a Windows virtual machine to run the Xbox App on.

I am thoroughly enjoying this Elon-Trump feud. We all knew it was coming, but I am very glad it happened right at the beginning of Pride Month.

I have never seen a company treat their customers like absolute shit but still get rivers of money from people for it. Nintendo does make good games, but god, they need to chill out with their IP protection bullshit.

bro what the hell happened down here 😭😭

My idea was to show that because said Russian soldier probably played Black Ops 2 (or even the 2023 Modern Warfare III) and saw a Swarm scorestreak on that game, he’d have instant flashbacks triggered by seeing the drone swarm lol

So this is what ArcSys was cooking up instead of FighterZ 2. God damn. I love the Iron Man design.

😡

That house looks like it’s begging to be mercy killed.

It’s a good thing to have, I have a very big sense of justice. But after 13 years I think I am done. I’ll try to focus on what I can do around me instead of just getting angry every day about something stupid happening.

I fucking love moths. Frosmoth and Volcarona are my favorite bug type Pokémon, and my favorite type of moth is the cecropia, hawk, and atlas moth. They’re so big and yet look so cool!

I might need to block anything related to that on Bluesky…

I recently got a RX 6700 XT for a decent price here in Brazil, and it was a very good upgrade :)

me when I was addicted to reddit

I still live in Brazil but almost all of my social media friends are from the US, so I think both in English and Portuguese. Mostly English, though.
