the situation has not improved

it's refusing to boot off USB bootable install sticks

it really, really just wants me to log in

I _do_ now know that characters _are_ being entered properly into the dialogue because! I realised I could use tabbing to get to a username prompt and check that way.

[turns on mini-PC not used in two years] [tries usual passwords for such devices] [none of them work]

well

fuck

I can't even be sure the password is being entered correctly because for some reason neither mouse nor touchscreen are working
