Can you tell I like computers? Can you tell I’m autistic? I hope so!
Welcome back fuckers to this tumbly tumble dryer I claimed as my own. Today’s garbage fire wonders if there’s a difference between a tumble dryer and a normal dryer.
So a couple weeks ago, after putting an extra 4GB of sketchy eBay RAM into it, my 2007 no-name custom-ish PC I got for $6.25 from the thrift store was ready to exist a little better than 1GB of RAM. Because my autism desires stupid bullshit, I decided I must try to use it online. One problems, however: I haven’t any ethernet to my room because I’m a bitch. Now, I could solve this with a USB WiFi adapter, but the computer hates it and refuses.
Instead of doing the sensible thing and giving up, I decided it needed to get stupider. I present to you: stupid computer shenanigans.
What you are witnessing is a short ethernet cable connecting the PC to a 2013 Dell business laptop to steal its internet for its own personal gain.
And it works!
They always say that, “if it works, it isn’t stupid,” but this is still stupid.
It was such a pain to get working. It’s almost as if computers don’t usually steal WiFi from a laptop running a different Windows version. It took quite a while of trying to setup networks on the PC and allowing it to take WiFi on the laptop. But, eventually, it connected.
Firefox no longer works with Windows 7, but thankfully I have an old version of Firefox from 2022 laying around and it works.
The experience was… not fast. It’s almost like it’s siphoning internet from a laptop through garbage nonsense and trying to render it with a Core 2 Duo and 5GB of DDR2-800 RAM. But hey, it worked! It was stupid, but it worked! Surprisingly, it wasn’t the worst online experience I’ve ever had. Have you tried to use the internet on a 2DS or Wii U? No, of course you haven’t! And if you have, shut up.
