Yeah if the fuzz flattened when you passed your finger over it, I’d be in.

“How slow is it?” My desktop is so slow, it comes with a prompt that says ‘Execute now to guarantee completion before Christmas.’

I thought a guy at the end would walk in without a mustache and he’d be called Debian.

Yes random voice on the Internet please talk me out of my hard won respect for reliability.

Y’know the setting in the bios where you can choose boot on power restore, stay off or last state? This relies on a capacitor on the motherboard near the bios battery to store the last state. This 5 cent capacitor can die and sometimes behave like you are saying. I had a repair guy fix it cheap and that server worked normally after that.

I learned one morning that a cmos battery could become a resistor. It can fail in a way that it’s not working nor completely dead but passes just enough current to make a server motherboard that otherwise might A: Work, B: detect it’s dead/missing and boot anyway with defaults to instead C: just freeze and not do anything. That was a fun full day of time wasted.
