Mini laptop + weird Windows activation + Ubuntu dual boot plan = first make a full Clonezilla backup. I documented the whole step-by-step process here: https://ezcontents.org/backing-mini-laptop-clonezilla-installing-ubuntu #Ubuntu #Clonezilla #DualBoot #Windows11

Playing around with the Seeed XIAO RA4M1 (which is actually the same as an Arduino R4) to get it working with an SPI display and some other external devices for my next project.

So @JesseSkinner tipped me off to this wild Wikipedia page 'List of video games considered the best' (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_video_games_considered_the_best). And so many of my own favorite games are on this list. From Centipede to Wolfenstein 3D to Diablo and Diablo II. Good group.
