I ordered the wrong size, by mistake. gaah

I ordered a USB-C adaptor but it turns out I need a Micro-USB adaptor. rollingpin

I have now had to order a Micro-USB adaptor. killcomputer

It is due to arrive on Friday. Excited

USB-C am the future, so you'll need that cable, sometime or other.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Wed Nov 08, 2023 6:59 pm

Yes, it is the right size for my current phone. yes

It's arrived! Excited

It was in an absolutely beautiful white box. I feel guilty about tearing it open. bawl

I'm about to insert my flash drive into it. Excited

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Fri Nov 10, 2023 9:48 am

It fits!

I'm going to need to buy a keyboard. When I set the tablet to boot from the memory stick, it demands I press Enter first, rather than doing it automatically.

But I can't do that without a keyboard. killcomputer

When I've installed new operating systems on laptops, they've always booted from the memory stick without me having to press Enter. rant

Gosh, how frustrating.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon Nov 13, 2023 4:08 pm

I've just discovered my operating system has a built-in Freeview player. Excited

How do you attach the aerial?

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon Nov 13, 2023 5:38 pm

You don't. I'm assuming its all down by streaming, although it doesn't say it is.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon Nov 13, 2023 5:47 pm

I've just opened it.

It has 1,238 TV channels. gasp

From all around the world. gasp

That ought to substantially increase the chances of finding something to suit your eyeballs.

by SiberianPrincess’sMidriff Tue Nov 14, 2023 7:57 am

Or at least it’ll take you a couple of hours to decide that there’s nowt good on.

I'm currently trying to download Windows 10 onto my ancient tablet.

I've never even tried to do it before, as I assumed it wouldn't be able to cope with the strain of running Windows 10 but I saw a video that said that that particular tablet works better with Windows 10 in it than it does with the originally installed Windows 8.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Tue Nov 14, 2023 4:20 pm

Download progress is currently at 33%. scared

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Tue Nov 14, 2023 4:20 pm

Now 35%.
