World's Dumbest Man has succeeded at making the computer equivalent of a lifted Geo Tracker with ground lights. I'm calling it the "Why?" This thing has incredible performance, surprisingly, even with the insane bottlenecks.

Steam Machine with an external GPU and SSD enclosure.

Watching the new season of Shark Tank and they managed to immediately become a parody of itself by having one of the pitches be Ball 2, the sequel to Ball, powered by AI. To really seal the deal, the ball 2's battery is not rechargeable or designed to be replaced.

A screenshot of season 18, episode 1 of Shark Tank, showing two men pitching a company named "Ball 2".

Carl Quintanilla: Real average hourly earnings down 0.7% on the month, that's the sixth straight month... Jim Cramer: Look, rich people are making a lot of money. God, I sound like Marx. I really don't want to sound like Marx. It's just, look at the data.

Found my PC collection of "Stuff Not Digitally Available*" *This may have changed. BfME2, Wolfenstein, Quake Wars, and Movies were all digitally available at some point, the former on Origin, the rest on Steam.

A bunch of old jewel cases including Black and White and Battle for Middle Earth.

Wasn’t able to secure any review code for HELLRAISER unfortunately. But I found this amazing FB clip of Doug Bradley doing a Scouse Pinhead and now I’m crying from laughter. He’s amazing. (Source: YMH Podcast.)

The jank continues. Completed installs of Windows 11 IoT LTSC and SteamOS on external drives. Will be creating an image for the latter with some additional tools, and a builder for the former with some additional drivers.

Alright, so now that I've absolutely tricked out the install for Steam Machine, now onto hardware mods. Secureboot is almost there, just gotta work out a couple of kinks, but once I've got my script done, it should be pretty easy to essentially push the changes even with atomic updates.
