Employees can daily clean as much of the machine as they can access, and there will still be a bit of black biofilm in there (not mold). The same biofilm lives down in all of your sink drains.

First, they came for the cats, and I said nothing because I was not a cat.
Just because you put +5V, +12V, and ground on the Molex plug doesn’t mean the drive is going to be powered up and spinning. The controller on the drive controls the motors (duh) and may be shutting the whole works down if it’s receiving what it interprets as invalid or malformed commands.
I was trying the same thing years ago, with a mid-90s HDD, a dedicated power supply for it, and a couple different IDE-USB adapters, and never got it to work. The drive shutting down when USB adapter is plugged in sounds familiar.
You got it. The IDE-USB adapters will technically only work with drives supporting ATA-2 (EIDE and newer).
Lots of arcade games and other amusement machines made in the last twenty years run on desktop Linux.
Incredible Technologies games, Raw Thrills/Play Mechanix Big Buck Hunter Pro, Arachnid dartboards, and TouchTunes jukeboxes off the top of my head.
The way I’ve always heard it is that Conservatives will eat a shit sandwich if it means a Liberal has to smell it.
Sorry. If there is a keyboard key or other input event to scroll it, you could set a touchscreen gesture to emulate that input?
This trope is false; frogs will attempt to escape when the water gets unpleasantly hot. They don’t allow themselves to be boiled.
Just saying.
Does double tap and drag work?
Meaning: tap, lift, tap without lifting, drag.
I knew it! QR codes have been gathering the data to transform Q into R, every time they are scanned.
I have a similar PATA enclosure. I thought it was cursed until I got to reuse the A-A cable to upload FlashFloppy custom firmware to Gotek floppy emulators without wiring up a USB-serial adaptor.
Please slam his testicles in a car door, once for each flight he took with Epstein.
It works for Ultimate Boot CD, which includes DBAN and a lot of other fun stuff.
I play with retro hardware and Ventoy has also worked for me with some weird old isos that even Rufus didn’t work with (XP/Server 2003 multidisc from eXPerience that uses a Linux bootloader?)
You would think so, but I’ve heard it on talk radio already. Verbatim: “Harris didn’t pick Shapiro because Democrats hate Jews!”
Uh, there’s one major party that is so hard-up for votes that they now welcome neo-Nazis to their convention, and it’s not the Democrats…
This, I tried some newer distros with Wayland and ended up going back to Debian Stable and X11 for gaming. Got Sunshine (for Moonlight handheld client streaming) working for in about a minute.
I always feel old when they’re playing Ramones over the loudspeakers at the grocery store.
I had to put my wife’s LG-made Google Nexus phone in the fridge to wirelessly back it up without it overheating.
Also got a free 65" Samsung TV because original owner couldn’t stand its blue blotches.
Everyone, race to the bottom!
I maintain older hardware at work. We have a platform based on a Biostar motherboard with no USB3 ports, and it will not boot from any USB3 drive I’ve tried. Any USB2 drives work fine. Picky, picky! 🤷
This; works on Mull; there is no submit button, it just constantly refreshes the results and thus is slow AF from continuously juggling the data.
