#hp #compaq #windows
it says in system info that the model is
"hp compaq 4000 pro small form factor pc", or that's at least what hp says it is, but I can't find any "ethernet controller" drivers there (https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/closure/hp-compaq-4000-pro-small-form-factor-pc/5037888), and device specs say it can do ethernet

also visited some support page where some guy asked for help regarding this exact issue, but the "solution" was just a dead link :(

would greatly appreciate any help, otherwise just a lil rant abt windows bad longevity n stuffs :P

#windows
trying to restore an old windows 7 work computer but despite my many efforts it keeps refusing to connect to the internet. Says it doesn't have any "ethernet controller" drivers, but all those drivers say that they aren't compatible (even though they should be).
Have tried sharing wifi through usb, but even though it says it's connected, just can't reach anything. Doing ping through terminal just times out
Just wanna set up a simple mc server on it, so it rlly needs internet access :/

Made a first render of the windmill model from earlier. Gotta work on some better scenery though, some grass or wheat would be a nice addition. Stay tuned :P

So what I'm trying to do here is to get the velocity at the different positions of the tires.
" rb.velocity_at_point(tire.translation); "
To do that you need to query for a rigidbody to read from, but only
" RigidBodyQueryItem " implements that funcion, all others just have
" rb.linear_velocity " (yes I do now see that I could theoretically calculate that function myself). But the other ways to fetch this rigidbody (in the update schedule) still throw this error \:

Trying to query an avian3d rigidbody so I can find out the speed at the car tires' positions.
But turns out this line
```
rb : RigidBodyQueryItem
```
Inside the parameter of a function running on "update" Throws a very unhelpfull error message
"
error[E0277]: `fn(Res<'a, Time>, Query<'b, 'c, &mut Transform, With<Player>>, ..., ..., ..., ..., ...) {bil}` does not describe a valid system configuration
--> src/main.rs:9:26
.add_systems(Update, bil)

Apperently there is like no actual documentation on how to add a force at runtime with avian3d. They just spawn the rigidbody with a ExternalForce::default() component.
In some obscure blog post they did just this, but fetched this force component with
" mut force : Query <&mut ExternalForce> "
Then they just add forces like normal with that force variable.
Thought that you needed to create a force with ExternalForce::default() and then apply it somehow. Silly me :P

Just expanding a bit on the post above.
To be clear, the LSP Server Warning "Failed to run build scripts of some packages" still occurs. Yet despite this I believe it is of no concern, as cargo build/run works as expected.

Here's the bevy rust nixos devshell that worked for me, if you're interested d:

```shell.nix
// stuff before buildinputs
buildInputs = [
cargo rustc rustfmt pre-commit rustPackages.clippy
udev alsa-lib vulkan-loader libudev-zero pkg-config
xorg.libX11 xorg.libXcursor xorg.libXi xorg.libXrandr # To use the x11 feature
libxkbcommon wayland # To use the wayland feature
];
//stuff after buildinputs
```
