So I removed the branding from the #scumbaglappy today.

Because it's not a Dell any more; it's a SCUMBAG (TM).

Looks quite good having just a clean circle on the back. Might still cover it with a sticker anyway.

Make it ugly. Make it work. Make it yours.

So twitter just locked my account and forcesd me to give them my phone number to restore access to my account and prove that I’m not a bot.

What was I tweeting about? I was replying to someone about how google is locking google drive accounts that contain (legal) pornography, and recommending that people back up their data and look for open source alternatives.

Fuck you, twitter. Fuck you right in the arsehole.

So I've realised lately that I'm always happiest when I have a "scumbag" laptop, an old model that barely runs, that I have to fix and replace parts on, that I have to extensively google answers on how to solve all the quirks and problems for. Now I finally understand why my Dad always had a half-finished car in the garage beside his daily driver.

Current model is a 2012 Dell Inspiron N4050.
