Now we just need reboot in safe mode and reset windows and we have the four horsemen of Microsoft support forums

[–] darkdemize@sh.itjust.works 41 points 7 months ago

Have you tried turning it off and turning it on again?

Install debian it runs on even the lowest resources

[–] odium@programming.dev 11 points 7 months ago (1 children)

If Debian is too heavy, try puppy Linux for even lower resource usage and because puppies are cute.

That new Tesla Cyber Laptop looks difficult to use.

Cosmetic damage, no lowballers, $1000 firm, I know what I have!

[–] mkwt@lemmy.world 13 points 7 months ago

Have you tried ironing out the wrinkles?

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 11 points 7 months ago

Try some WD-40

[–] Localhorst86@feddit.org 10 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Have you tried forcing an unexpected reboot?

[–] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 6 points 7 months ago

The most important part is making sure the computer doesn't see it coming so it's truly unexpected

[–] Railing5132@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

"helloo, I.T." "Have you tried turning it off and back on again?"

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 10 points 7 months ago

You’ll need a DeLorean and some plutonium.

[–] Kilometers_OBrien@startrek.website 10 points 7 months ago

I've seen Linux fix worse cases.

Ever try mint?

[–] JPSound@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago (3 children)

  • Try to sell it as art

  • Make a shitton of cash

  • Buy a new laptop and still have a shitton of cash

(maybe remove SSDs and HDDs before step 1 if those are still in tact and depending on what kind of information was stored on the device)

[–] And009@reddthat.com 3 points 7 months ago

Genius just paint it

[–] x4740N@lemm.ee 5 points 7 months ago

Just grab a mallet amd hammer it flat again

[–] requiem@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago
[–] superkret@feddit.org 3 points 7 months ago

remove snapd

[–] NakariLexfortaine@lemm.ee 3 points 7 months ago

Well, first, you want to get a hammer. Make sure you're comfortable with the weight, you're gonna be doing a lot of swinging.

Next, you'll want this hunk of metal called a dolly.

Now, if you're someone without experience in a body shop, I'd recommend searching "Dolly dent removal methods", watch some tutorials.

If you're familiar already, you know what comes next. Decide if you're going on or off, and beat the shit out of it until the dents come out.

[–] thesohoriots@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

A little distilled white vinegar, a lint-free cloth, and some elbow grease.

[–] elucubra@sopuli.xyz 3 points 7 months ago

That’s what you get for not upgrading to 11

[–] letsgo@lemm.ee 3 points 7 months ago

Just wipe it down with a damp cloth (not dripping, just damp). It'll be as good as new.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 3 points 7 months ago

I don't know, what's wrong with it?

[–] kekmacska@lemmy.zip 3 points 7 months ago (3 children)
