Hi fellow Hivers
This is going to be an interesting experience. I accidentally messed myself up royally! Lol
There are plenty of situations where we think that we are in great shape but it turns out we are kind of not.. I had one of those the other day!
I’ve been really meaning to update my laptop and use Linux instead of windows for various reasons. One of the primary being the built in AI into the newest software and how that information is for sure not used for great purposes.
I’ve also been meaning to learn how to use Linux for a while as well, since I’ve known about it for decades but haven’t been able to spend the time to get to know it.
So
I So went to install Linux the other day and sadly I didn’t realize that I had bitlocker turned on.. I thought it was off but nope. I had to change a BIOS setting and after I did that the computer wouldn’t do anything. I accidentally bricked my computer! Shit!
I’ve been pretty annoyed and upset about it because it was an amateur mistake. I shouldn’t have done that without a backup but that’s the thing about learning a lesson: they are most frequently hard ones to learn!
So now that I’m without a computer for a little bit.. I have to write posts on my phone! Ugh! Lol. I can’t believe I used to do this all the time, it’s not easy that’s for sure!! I dislike not having my screen for all the real estate. I even had to not use PeakD because the mobile post writing experience is absolutely horrible. I let them know it needed fixing and hopefully they work on it, but in the meantime I’ll be using Ecency to do some writing!
I think a challenge for me as well is that I don’t have my hundreds of photos to use easily! I can get them as I did upload those to the cloud but it’s just sad that I can’t dig into my gigantic archive right now lol. In the meantime I’ll have to use random photos from my phone :D
The funny thing is.. after all that I wasn’t able to post this on Ecency or PeakD. I had to use old fashioned Hive.blog LOL that was not expected!! I wish some of the layouts could be this simple.. haha. I might be scheduling one of my first posts in years from the hive site! Feels like a throwback haha.
A last minute edit before posting.. turns out I can’t even upload pictures what the fuck! Lol I need to figure out how to fix my damn laptop aASAP posting from mobile is awful lmao.
What about you have you made a mistake like this in the past? Let me know in the comments!
