@intromatt well its not ubuntu fault, the lappy was getty pretty old, I am surprised it lasted this long but the point still stands 🙂
-
@hamolicious Did it have Windows at some point? That's probably the issue.
-
@intromatt yeah it did
-
@hamolicious boom. There was windows code that leaked right onto your Linux and that's why it crashed.
-
@intromatt I can't even boot the bios anymore so I believe it might be something a little more serious 😂😐
-
@hamolicious Do you have a can of spray-air?
-
@intromatt no but I'll take the tip anyways, I'll get it later
-
@hamolicious Spray the hard drive as much as you can. Top and bottom.
-
@intromatt I'll try it out, cheers!

@intromatt
Step 2) Wash it all down real good with some rubbing alcohol.
Step 3) Set it on fire.
Step 4 optional) Profit -
@sodaTab can't I just microwave it to increase its power and make it boot?
-
@hamolicious yup, probably wanna toss a handful of rice in there too. Just to be on the safe side.
Just wanted to remind everyone to remember to backup their files 🙂.
Ubuntu just crashed, had to reinstall the OS, luckily for me, I did all my backups and probably lost 30 seconds worth of work.
