This is an Acer Aspire ES1-512 with integrated Intel graphics, so I am still betting it’s likely the RAM stick that decided it didn’t want to be alive anymore. Luckily for me I can get a new 8 GB DDR3L stick for like 12 USD.

It’s a single stick :|

Only type of laptop I find acceptable :>

I’m thinking it might be RAM cause when I booted it early today it had a similar corruption happen just as I opened a few tabs on Firefox, then it wouldn’t start. I fully charged it and tried to start again, and it was working fine until the login screen, whereas it corrupted again and resulted in the photo I took.

The power light keeps flashing when I turn it on now, so I suspect it might be RAM failure.

I’m gonna try to shove a Linux Mint distro on it. But if this error happens again I’ll know it’s the RAM and will take measures to replace it.

EDIT: Seems like the power led keeps flashing on and off, so that’s probably it…

I was using Windows 11 before cause I wanted to use the Xbox app so I could get Rewards points if I left my gaming PC, but with the bad quality of the SSD installed on it I might just shove Linux Mint on it and call it a day. My only usage intention is programming/browsing the web. And if I ever get a bigger SSD I could just use a Windows virtual machine to run the Xbox App on.

So this is what ArcSys was cooking up instead of FighterZ 2. God damn. I love the Iron Man design.

I might need to block anything related to that on Bluesky…

That’s more than 1/3rd of ALL of their aircraft, holy shit. This just makes it insanely difficult for Russia to save face. ANY truck could be holding hundreds of suicide drones deep into Russian territory. The Russian authorities are gonna be so paranoid they won’t be able to coordinate anything.

You can unlock older battle pass guns with the Armory feature but it is quite well hidden for some reason…

Honestly I think the fact it got enough backlash that Treyarch removed it is a good thing.
