Ah that ditty with similar lyrics, by Infected Mushroom, is now running through my head...

Where's the bloody bog?

Yeh I have noticed something similar.

I have to refresh home/local/all when I visit them to get all new posts. Default sort is new for all of them (iirc)

Occasionally there is 1 new one at the top of the feed.

I thought I was dreaming.

Yeh, the oya got smudged/erased on the gold plate.

Vger ... Star Trek the movie called and wants their name back!🤪

Yup. Exactly that. Us poors can work harder to earn enough so that we also can live in nirvana.

Just thinking aloud here...

Can you boot the install media when the laptop storage is installed?

If so, you can use gparted from the install media to clean the storage device and start from scratch. That might help.

You should be able to tell what mode to install the os in from the boot mode of the install media.

That is odd. However iirc it is an option in the bios.

Fwiw telling grub to uefi boot will not work if the boot device doesn't have uefi support (and trying to boot in bios mode from a uefi disk fails as well... Been there got the T-shirt)

To get the install media to boot you could try removing the laptop storage...

On all the lenovos here hitting enter when the bios displays the Lenovo splash screen gives a menu that allows you to get at the bios or a boot menu.

You have to be a bit careful cos it's on a countdown, paused and resumed by the enter key... And you have to get it timed right.

Indeed...

The daughter says "it's not like Guinness in taste or style but it is in Culture" which is fair.

Nah they aren't shit, they are just poor traditional school fiction with added magic...

School fiction is a genre that has existed for ever and is always no better than "meh" imho. The Potter books are definitely at most meh but not as bad as shit.

It's not like Guinness though... Much, much nicer ( admittedly nicer than Guinness is a bit of a low bar, but let's take wins where we can after the 6 nations this year!)
