What is your favorite vintage computer, besides the Commondor?
Besides the Commodore VIC-20? (which holds the title of my favorite computer of all time, not just favorite vintage computer).
That's a tough call, 2nd place probably goes to the Cactus (jk, it's not actually vintage) the Data General Nova 1200.
I wish I could figure out what exactly is wrong with it, but it's not an easy machine to fix. The new power supply seems to be stable, but the CPU is suspect -- even simple programs don't work consistently. Writing diagnostic routines in assembly is not easy for this architecture, and the diagnostic routines I have from DG are not obvious in how they're supposed to report back failures based on the manual. Without a known-working machine to test each of part in, I'm kinda feeling stuck for the moment, even with the assistance of the modern Data General Users Group (or whatever we're calling ourselves these days).
When the Nova 1200 has worked, it's been fun toggling in programs, and using BASIC on a core memory minicomputer.
Tumblr media
Right now it has a diagnostic extension card installed between the bus and the CPU card to hopefully help me figure out what's hosed.
Tumblr media
One day we'll be back to running software with no problems. It's a damned cool, beautiful machine that influenced so many important machines that would follow, not just from Data General.

[Kamen rider au, the base’s name is the Crows nest.]
R/n, finds Soap tapping away at her base’s computer: What are you doing?
Soap: I’m running a manual diagnostic on Crow’s Nest’s security mainframe, I noticed it was running kind of wobbly so I wanna make sure there weren’t any problems with the firewall, while that’s defragging, I’m working on a program to help expand the range on the Deadmite Detection system, so you can find those F-ckers faster. Oh, I’ll also be installing a VPN program. So it’ll be a bit harder anyone trace the signal back to us when listening on local and outsourced comms.....(R/n stares at him blankly.) 
Soap: Ye have no bloody idea what I’m saying do ya?   
R/n: No, But I trust you Johnny so I’ll leave you to it. By the way what do you want from MacDonald's?
Soap: Chicken nuggets and Sprite.

What if the real reason Yandere packs are illegal because if they aren't manually uninstalled they have a habit of reactivating? Reader (and Emmet cos of that prank) doesn't realise how much they screwed up until both of the packs reactive at the same time.
cw: yandere, iron moth twins
-----
The change was sudden and completely out of nowhere.
One day, you and the Iron Moth twins were going about your day as you usually did. The next, you woke up tied in your bed with all your devices missing again. Two things you had experienced in the past when the twins had a “Yandere” pack installed and activated. Of course, they had since deactivated them and, in Ingo's case, assumably had it uninstalled completely. This, however, proved otherwise.
You felt annoyed but recalled the deactivation words with ease. All you had to do was say the words “Joltik” and “Sweetheart” with the two in earshot in order for them both to lose the features the pack had brought out. The issue was, you were still currently tied down in your bed. Emmet's fascination with bondage and spiders could only turned out to be a problem in situations like these, you swore. You were bound to the headboard, and therefore had to wait for them to return in order to have a chance of getting out.
“Emmet!” you called out, “Ingo!” Barely a few seconds passed before you heard their feet pounding against the floor and running into your bedroom. Emmet appeared first, faced twisted with concern, with Ingo quickly following after him, dressed in an apron with obvious cooking stains on it. You sighed. “Did your Yandere packs reactivate or is this a late April Fool's Day joke?” you asked while glaring at them. Emmet tilted his head while Ingo fell into a diagnostic check.
“Ah… You are correct, dearest,” he replied after finishing, “Emmet, did you install this again on me?” He turned to glare at the younger twin. Emmet shook his head.
“I did not!” he argued back, “… I did not even notice it had reactivated for me…” You sighed. Well, whatever it was, you wanted to be untied.
“We can discuss this later,” you interrupted their conversation, “Untie me.” The twins posture quickly shifted into something stiff and ominous.
“Ah… Darling, you are so verrrry cute like that!” Emmet cooed while taking a seat on the bed next to you, “I simply adore seeing you bound and so pliant…” His eyes definitely showed the reactivation of the yandere pack with how they pierced into you at once. You swallowed. Admittedly, you had wanted to have some more fun with it, but not in a situation like this.
“Jo-” you tried to say the deactivation word, but Emmet's hand came over your mouth. This action seemingly surprised even him. He freed you and gazed at his brother in confusion. Ingo's eyes bled with obvious frustration.
“How could this have happened?” he wondered aloud, “I told you not to install packs like that, Emmet.” Despite his words, he seemed to join his brother on the bed beside you. His hand came to remove his brother's own from your mouth.
“Sweet-” you tried again, but this time Ingo silenced you. Had the pack adapted to your use of the word? You felt powerless while the twins exchanged glances. Both seemed a bit mortified, realising they had possibly been permanently altered with the packs. What could fix this situation if you could not say the word. Ingo removed his hand, gazing at it with wide eyes. His wing pieces pressed to his back as he stood up and turned away from you.
“I-I'll return to cooking and think on solutions while I do,” Ingo decided and headed towards the door. Alright, you had enough of all this madness.
“Sweetheart!” you managed to yell out. Emmet gasped and Ingo fell still as the pack was forcibly deactivated. In his shock, you quickly acted again, “Joltik!” The younger twin limited the older one's actions. You were getting untied as soon as the finished rebooting.
Their expressions after they turned back on were between horror at their new apparent situation and your anger about still being bound in bed. Intense discussions about what to do soon followed, but there seemed to be little to do without completely wiping their systems, which they both refused to do.
Then… Exactly three days later, you woke up in the same situation.

Gimme a big boi android. I’m talking *chonky*. A boy that’s shaped like Baymax.
He’ll always come to me specifically to do his maintenance and repairs because I’m extra gentle with them. I always make sure to snap things into place smoothly and talk out loud about what I’m doing. Which parts I’m checking and how they feel in my hands. They get to pick the music. I let him hold my tool book and hand me what I need. I let them know he’s such a good patient because they’re so easy to work with.
Is it just him, or do my hands linger on his arms when I snap them back into place? Do the other medineers check hip actuator alignment this frequently or grab so high on the inner thigh when they do? Is it okay that they only charge him the base rate, even though our appointments always take so long?
They’re more flustered than usual when they come in and hand me an order for a full limb update. Apologizing and saying they know it’s a full day undertaking, he’s willing to pay for the time, they know I’ll be stuck having to look after him while, he’s sorry he won’t be able to help today on account of the updates, ya know?
Of course it’s not a problem, I love working with my favorite patient. I gently unclip his arms, pressing the back of their armpit and their collar “bone” to uncouple the joints, and lay them on an empty table covered in a cloth. Gently cupping their back and placing my hand on their chest to lay them down. Smiling as they start to chatter nervously, sliding one hand down to his inseam and the other to his hip. Pressing gently with my fingers, searching for the pressure points that will release his leg into my arms. Cradling it and placing it on the table before repeating the maneuver with the other leg as he starts to falter and trails off awkwardly. The soft music fills the room, silent save the sound of me clicking through the installation wizard.
He startles when I turn and delicately place my hand on his shoulder. I ask if I can start my basic diagnostics, and he nods shyly. His breath hitching and his fans whirring the longer my hands run along their exposed syntheskin. I reach over him to grab one of my screwdrivers and as my weight presses on him, they let out a soft moan.
As I sit up I see the mortified look on his face and smile sweetly at him, brushing their hair back off their forehead with my hand and leaving my hand resting on his head. I lean down to his ear and softly tell them that it’s okay. They’re being the perfect patient for me.
He takes in a shuddering breath as my hand rests on the bludge in their underwear. My lips trace a pattern on their neck as I grind my palm on their dick, eliciting from them the most adorable, pathetic moans. They start stammering, but I gently shush them and press on their jaw, locking their mouth in place.
My hands move along his body so gently it’s hard to tell if I’m actually touching them or hovering my hands just above their syntheskin. They writhe and wriggle, unable to grab for purchase, buck their hips, grind against me. Completely helpless and totally reliant on me to give them the sensations they crave. I kiss from his chest, down his belly, and when I reach his hips I grab his underwear and effortlessly slide them off. I grab his ass with both hands as I take him into my mouth. I can hear their cry of relief through his closed mouth as my tongue drags along the bottom of their head and shaft.
They writhe and curl their torso as cumming gives him no reprieve from the sensation. I reach my fingers into their ass, manually inducing another erection, as he whines pitifully. I edge them with my mouth before climbing on the table and revealing I’m completely naked underneath my lab coat. I mount him slowly and feel his abdomen spasm, trying and failing to thrust into me.
I ride them, gently at first, while cooing in their ear about how perfect they feel and how helpful they’ve been. Soon, my moans meld with his and I’m fucking so hard I have to plant my hands on his shoulders to keep them from sliding up the table. I cum with force, curling onto his chest and spasming on top of them. I can feel their fluids leaking out of me and hear it flowing onto the table, thinner and more abundant than a humans. I hear their servos whirring and their ragged breathing underneath my ear as I cling to his chest. Kissing their chest and neck and cheek I coo praise.
Much later, the computer beeps. A notification flashes that the update and installation has finished, but it goes unnoticed. The android’s unlocked mouth moaning for more as the medineer’s mouth does it’s work. The flashing window and still limbs stay abandoned for a while longer.

Chapter one
There hasn’t been an unidentified spacecraft in the stratosphere of Arkadia in over two decades, let alone three in one day. Those skilled or mad enough to venture into the Chaos unguided were few and far between. That means no one has ever made it to Arkadia who wasn’t intending to be here.
Until today.
The first ship was jarring enough to pull Eziriel from the manual diagnostic scan she was elbow-deep in. The southeastern quadrant beacon towers had been sending odd signals back to the capital city Helix over the last few weeks and she only trusted herself to figure out why. She was working in concentrated silence instead of the usual method of mumbling full conversations to troubleshoot a problem when the distant unfamiliar hum of a spacecraft caused her to freeze. There was a passing thought of how the noise must be a part of the brewing storm that was heading her direction, but the consistent rumbling noise shattered that thought.
With a graceless speed she rips away from the tangle of cables, unsafely dropping an exposed wire to dangle, trips over her soldering kit, and dashes through the beacon station. Leaving behind a wake of disarray, she throws open the door just in time to see a very non-Arkadian ship dip into the canyon west of her.
While she knows that it is terrible that her first thought isn’t for the well-being of those on the ship that were about to fly blind through the winding canyon, she is rather proud that her first thought isn’t spiraling panic but rather: The Cloak is down.
Her chest grows tight with anxious energy as she whips her hand up to press the button of the device wrapped snugly around her ear. With two dual-toned staccato chirps of greeting from the ear piece the familiar violet holographic visor extends across her eyes while she steps completely out of the beacon station. Glancing up as soon as her visor’s desktop was loaded she searched for the telltale patterned hexagon grid of The Cloak.
It was flickering.
The Cloak of Arkadia has been a fixture on the planet since before Eziriel was born. A planetary shielding system that originally paired a standard global deflector shield with a frequency that scrambled any navigation or communication unit that did not have the Arkadian hardware installed in it. It was clever, but fifteen standard years ago Eziriel, in all her youthful arrogance, fought to get the approval to improve upon it because she was more clever. Implementing an advanced holographic projection technology that she had been perfecting since she was a child, she created the additional terra holo projection that covered the entire planet in a holographic camouflage. Those from the stratosphere saw thick storms, raging seas, unlandable terrain, and whatever else to create the facade of the most inhospitable planet to land on as possible. Those planetside were completely unaffected by her addition to The Cloak. The citizens knew it was there and that they could view the backside of it through a specific lens setting, but after the first few years the spectacle of it wore off and citizens more or less ignored its presence. These defenses have unfailingly kept Arkadia protected from unwanted guests for centuries.
Until now.
Shifting her focus to the unknown ship she watches as it maneuvers through the towering pillars of rock formations that run throughout the dangerous canyon, rather well for being unguided she internally admits to herself. Ga’ladora’s Canyon is often used as a proving ground for the local pilots. The geologic wonder of the colossal pillars for miles was just the sort of thing young pilots took as a personal challenge. They claim it is a way to show off all the skills they learned at the academy and how focused their Will was, but it was just a glorified unsanctioned race for bragging rights at the local cantinas. The current ship was going nowhere near the speeds in which those races were held, but it was still going at a pace that would cause death if the pilot mishandled a turn.
“CHI-CHI, The Cloak of Arkadia seems to be glitching. Shift the beacon towers to emergency power mode and run a full system scan to gather analytics on the beacon points to see if you can sniff out the problem,” she commands into the ear piece she nearly always has on her.
“Well, hello to you too, mother dearest. I’m lovely this evening, thank you for asking,” the bored pretentious voice responds unhelpfully and she audibly groans.
It seems the recent code deployment of, what she considers, cleverly titled program “Manners Maketh Machine” was blending with the sarcasm of the Artificial Intelligence swimmingly. She knows allowing CHI to learn and grow from interactions with organics was controversial and going to be a risk, but she honestly loves that they started developing wit and a personality. However, this is a more serious matter than they usually dealt with and if it weren’t for the whirling icon in the corner of her visor informing her CHI was following her orders, a feature she developed immediately after she noticed the AI’s growing love for banter, she was about to uncharacteristically pull rank on them.
“My darling progeny, this is a threat level ‘kriffed’ if you hadn’t clocked the unidentified ship currently, and successfully, weaving through Ga’ladora’s Canyon.” She glances at the preliminary readings that her visor calculated off of the ship while she makes her way closer to the edge of the ravine to get a better vantage point. She was lucky that the Ga’ladora Beacon Station was at the highest point of the canyon. If she wanted she could easily run inside to climb the winding staircase to get an even better vantage from the top of the tower, but she did not want to lose sight of the unknown ship.
Without looking away from the ship she crosses her right arm in front of her, moves her left fist over her bracer and opens her fingers wide bringing up a holographic screen that hovers around her forearm. While the trajectory, speed, and predicted maneuvers were very useful in her visor, the HolOmni would be able to show her the who, what, where of this ship.
“Would you kindly tell His Almighty of the current situation?” She asks.-
And she wonders where CHI developed the snark.
She keeps her visor locked on the ship letting CHI get as many readings as possible until it moves so far east between the stone pillars she can no longer see it. She checks her HolOmni to see if she got enough readings to track it and if she can find out its origins. The storm rumbles closer in a threatening reminder to Eziriel that it’s about to get messier.
An unremarkable gunship. Well, at least to her. Specifically a ST-70 class Razor Crest M-111, and a pretty old model at that, according to the files CHI pulled. Ezirial had very little interest in ships outside her own planet’s fleet. Unless they offer tech better than hers, she doesn’t bother beyond a rudimentary glance at the specs to make sure there isn’t better tech in the galaxy. There usually isn’t.
Once she realizes that this ship is unregistered and without a transponder beacon she has CHI pull any of the New Republic and Imperial files that they can find on any recent encounters with an ST-70 Assault Ship: docking records, infringements, planetary access requests, etc. She could have CHI comb as deep as possible for any mention of this specific ship in any digital file on the holonet, but she doesn’t have the time right now. All she learns is that this is a Republic Era model, colloquially known as a “Razor Crest” and that one of these models was currently a ship of interest to both the Empire and the New Republic, both for classified reasons that she doesn’t have time to dig up.
“King Amarian is in the quarterly meeting with the Agricultural Council. He says he is putting the Enforcers and Guardians on standby for your command but has full faith in you to scout any threats before you do something reckless.” CHI brings up the digital message on her HolOmni that documents the order and has Amarian’s digital seal. Eziriel smirks at the fact that there was a “don’t be stupid” digitally scrawled in his handwriting along with a crude childishly drawing of a face with a tongue sticking out at the bottom of the official document. Future historians will love that. “It seems your brother has more faith in the skills you picked up from your failed attempt at becoming an Infiltrator than I do.”
She snorts at the supposed insult and looks up to then breathe a sigh of relief at seeing that the emergency power of the beacon towers had kicked in and that The Cloak of Arkadia was no longer glitching and was a steady glow once more. The grip that anxiety has on her chest loosens slightly. Now the only problem to deal with was the mystery ship. She should be able to triangulate the location of the ship using the beacon towers easily. She punches the air in a small celebration of her saving the planet with her quick thinking. Maker, she is brilliant.
“I’ll have you know—“
She chokes on her reply when she instinctively ducks and throws her hands on her ears in alarm at a horrendous screeching noise overhead. The storm closing in had hidden the noise until it was upon her. A terrifying noise she had only ever heard in holovids: an Imperial TIE fighter. Even people who’ve never paid attention to ships know that one.
Fuck.
The ship screeches above the canyon at a much faster speed than the previous gunship, avoiding the stone pillars altogether. She lets out a curse and is about to issue CHI a command when she hears the faint distant screeching engine of another TIE fighter. Whipping her head in the direction of the noise behind her she sees a second fighter flying distantly above her and cutting perpendicularly across the path of the first two ships, not at all in the same direction. Thank the stars, it’s above The Cloak! They should not be able to see or contact anything planet-side of The Cloak unless they have the proper programming installed in their comms, which they definitely shouldn’t have.
Eziriel watches the first TIE fighter move further east of her and then start shooting at something in the canyon beyond her line of sight; she assumes the gunship when she sees a return fire from a lower vantage point. She could only guess that the gunship was fleeing this TIE fighter and somehow ended up on her planet. The second fighter disappears up into the stratosphere as the storm clouds finally roll into her vicinity. The forest behind her rattles as the winds pick up and fat drops of rain starts to darken the ground around her feet. Pulling up the hood of her cloak she has CHI lock onto the remaining TIE fighter and see if they can lock a trace on it just in case it leaves her sight.
Her pulse is loud in her ears.
She’s never seen anyone from the Empire in person before. She has gotten her hands on Empire tech thanks to some of the Sanctuary Station traders, but she mostly knew the Empire as this grand villain of the galaxy that has brought horrors to everyone within it and that her planet was lucky to reside in the Chaos where the Empire had yet to master the navigation. She’s seen the vids of the atrocities they commit and just the thought that the Empire gained the skill to make it this far out into space makes her stomach lurch.
Pushing down the nausea she goes to send an update to Amarian and the definite need of Guardians and Enforcers when the fighter dips down into the canyon still firing its green lasers and just a second later she sees the fiery explosion before it even hits her ears.
Which one was it?
The sound wave of the explosions cuts through the storm and the initial plume of fire dissipates into the downpouring sky. Thunder is cracking, her trousers are soaked with rain, and the howling wind is a constant wall of noise around her while Eziriel waits with bated breath at any sign of a ship.
She can’t remember the last time she remained so still and quiet for an extended time.
There, right there, she hears something.
Then from the canyon rises the gunship.
Her knotted stomach loosens tremendously as she breathes out a sardonic huff of a laugh. She pulls her HolOmni into her view once more to scan the comm channels to see if the ship is trying to hail anybody. If this gunship is an enemy of the Empire then at least there is a commonality between them.
The ship is moving slower than it was earlier as it makes its way back west above the canyon. It seems to be barely puttering along.
Is that smoke?
As soon as the thought crosses her mind the ship suddenly plunges to its side while the telltale signs of smoke comes out of the left engine. She holds her breath as the gunship tries to correct itself and at first she thinks they’ve managed to sufficiently level off to get out of the canyon to land in the forest, but it isn’t enough. It sways unsteadily trying to avoid the pillars of stone while also attempting to make it to her side of the canyon. They are so close to making it out when an unseen branch of a stony pillar barely scrapes against the undercarriage, jarring the ship enough to send it dipping sideways back into the canyon. The pilot overcorrects the ship back up only to catch the right wing in another pillar and it sends the ship spinning towards the side of the canyon.
The crash is quieter than she expects.
No explosions, rockslides, or crumbling stone pillars, just a prolonged noise of scraping and crunching metal. Eziriel runs to her speeder bike, kicks it to life, and makes her away along the cliffside towards the downed ship.
By this point the sun was completely gone for the day, the three moons were hidden by tumultuous clouds, and the forest’s bioluminescent organisms were hidden by the horrid weather. All that was lighting her way was the dinky headlight of her speeder and this late summer lightning storm. She takes a moment to open her mind and cast her Will out to the environment around her to help navigate through the poor conditions. Her senses open up to the life around her and she uses it to keep her speeder on the path of least resistance.
She makes it to the outcrop that stretches above the crash site as quickly as she can and hops off the speeder to carefully lean over the side to assess the situation. The ship didn’t make it to the canyon floor but instead had wedged itself canted to the right between two stone pillars and the canyon’s wall hundreds of feet above the sharp rocky bottom and, luckily, only about fifty feet below the cliffside she stood on. She takes a moment to watch the ship to make sure it is staying put where it has ended up. She doesn’t want to take a chance of trying to help someone only for all of them to fall to a sharp death. She has to think this through rationally rather than her usual approach of impulsiveness that mostly relied on luck and chance to be successful.
She enables the infrared in her visor to get a headcount of passengers. At this distance she will only be able to get the heat signatures and won’t be able to get a read on their vital signs to determine if someone is injured. Hopefully when she gets closer she will get a more thorough reading.
She spots two heat signatures in what she assumes is the cockpit of the gunship. One the size of an unmoving humanoid adult and the other tiny. Too tiny to determine whether this was a small species of sentient being, a pet, or a baby. She doesn’t know if it is Fate’s Will speaking the truth to her or if it’s just such a horrible thought that it just can not escape her brain but the thought played in a loop: a child. She grits her teeth at even the thought of the Empire endangering a child.
Bastards.
She would normally be able to go down with only her Will as assistance, but it would be too far too difficult for her to Will someone back up. Using her Will acrobatically wasn’t quite her strong suit and she didn’t want to test her limits on a cliffside in the middle of a storm. That would fall under the “don’t be stupid” rule that Amarian explicitly commanded of her. She bet that boarding an unknown ship that crash landed onto her planet with no back up besides a sarcastic AI would also fall under that rule, but she is gonna pretend that it isn’t.
She turns around and maneuvers the speeder in a way to utilize the attached winch at the back into a makeshift belayer and the front winch as a counter balance around a grand tree. She makes sure to triple check the security of the metal cable around the tree, she doesn’t want any chance of making this disaster worse.
The thunder that was accompanying the ongoing lightning booms louder in a reminder that she is tempting fate being connected to so much metal surrounded by tall trees. Syncing the winch to her HolOmni she then digs in the speeder’s saddle bag for any other useful equipment and was lucky enough to find a glowrod. Flicking on the light to bathe the surrounding area with a warm light she grabs the end of the winch cable and makes her way to the cliff’s edge to look upon the unknown ship she was risking her life for. She takes a calming breath and begins her descent while her father’s words from long ago ring in her head.
A hand held out in kindness is never the wrong decision.

Yes, it is once again abominably late 🙈 In my defense, as of today I am on sick leave, so I have some time to gently coax my sleeping rhythm back into a more acceptable time frame.
But for now: Here is another snippet!
I keep jumping wildly between WIPs. This one also goes into the Emil-prompt-collection, though this is Rios's chapter (which I just started now). Or it will be, eventually. Sometimes you need to spend 500+ words pondering the nature of the medical emergency (hologram)...
---
For the seventh time in the last twelve hours, Emil called up the neurological readings on the biobed’s display and studied them intently. He could have simply let his programme interface with the ship’s medical systems (and somewhere in the depth of this code, this connection was being established to verify his visual input). But the motions of manually checking on his patient had something… calming, perhaps.
Of course, as a hologram, purpose built for medical emergencies, he did not need to perform calming actions for himself. He did not have emotions that needed to be addressed, not in the way his organic patients did. But in the year since his first activation, the EMH had found that his behavioural and socio-affective algorithms did benefit from performing certain actions that, in a human, might have been considered emotional regulation.
If anyone asked him, he could always say that he was gathering the data visually to calibrate his autonomic diagnostic algorithms. If he ever found himself disconnected from the ship’s various systems due to a technical emergency, he would have to deal with whatever crisis demanded his attention by solely relying on his perceptive subroutines.
Not that anyone would ever ask. Ian might give him a knowing look, but none of the other holograms were fully aware of the extent to which Emil could or couldn’t draw information directly from the ship’s computers. And their captain… well.
Emil looked down at the lifeless form of Captain Rios and heaved a deep sigh.
The neurological readings were still unchanged, which was both a good sign, in that his condition hadn’t deteriorated, and also absolutely no help whatsoever. There was no way to know how the radiation had affected the captain’s brain until he was awake, and none of the diagnostic tools could offer any hint as to when that might happen.
Emil dismissed the holographic interface with a huff and went over to the counter to re-sort his instrument stands. Sometimes, he really longed for the sophisticated technology that was standard issue on even modest Starfleet vessels. La Sirena was very well-equipped for her size and especially her age, but her neurological scanner couldn’t hold a candle to a full suite of neuro-psychiatric assessment units. It seemed a cruel twist to give an EMH all this knowledge about the precise function of cutting-edge medical technology and how it would help in any given moment — and then to strand them in a place where they had access to exactly none of it.
Emil twirled an empty hypo-spray through his fingers. Of course, he knew that it wasn’t cruelty. The EHs' creators understood the complexity of the programmes they were working on, and their was growing advocacy to look at complex holograms as more than simple computer routines devoid of dignity and unworthy of respect. But in the end, it came down to thoughtlessness. Both the thoughtlessness of the programmers on Jupiter Station, who did not consider how their decisions might impact a hologram years down the line, and Emil’s own thoughtlessness. Because who could claim that an EMH was ‘thinking’, when he was really just following instruction laid out for him long before his instance of the basic EH installation package was ever compiled?
It was a true philosophical conundrum that —
“Um… excuse me?”
The hypospray clattered to the workbench as, for a fraction of a second, the utterly unexpected input scrambled Emil’s subroutines and made his matrix flicker. He whirled around and found himself face to face with Captain Rios.

Three signals your hard drive is failing and what to do
Tumblr media
After just three years, the average hard drive's failure probability skyrockets. When the drive is exposed to varying temperatures, humidity, or external shocks, it may occur sooner. In reality, the hard disc in your laptop starts to fail after three to five years, and SSDs are no different. Do you feel anxious yet?
In the best-case scenario, hard drives degrade gradually, giving you time to save your data and replace them before they completely fail. But how will you actually know if your hard drive is failing? Let's look at some tips:
1. Slow computer performance, frequent freezing, and Blue Screen of Death
One of the causes of this triple PC collapse is a failing hard disc, which is just one of a million possible causes. In Windows Safe Mode or after a fresh installation, these issues are almost probably the result of defective hardware, maybe a failing hard drive.
You can use a variety of diagnostic tools to rule out a hard disc problem, but you should start by reviewing the S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) data on your system. You should be aware that although while Windows is continuously gathering this data in the background, it is notoriously bad at forecasting hard drive failure, and you can encounter a serious problem before an S.M.A.R.T. warning appears many business listings.
You'll need a third-party programme like CrystalDiskInfo to manually check the S.M.A.R.T. state of your drive. Select the disc to scan under Disk and make a note of the health of your disc.
After using additional diagnostic tools to rule out hardware problems, you should move to resetting or reinstalling your operating system. Windows 10 offers the option to save all of your files, but you should still create a backup just in case. For more information on backups, scroll down.
2. Corrupted Data
Numerous different ways might corrupted data manifest themselves? If you notice one of these signs consistently, your hard disc is likely slowly degrading:
File or folder names that are scrambled
When opening transferring, or saving files, unexpected errors may appear.
Documents that won't open
Data corruption in your files
Vanishing folders or files
When data is created or stored, corruption can occur. Your files could be being affected by a virus, but they could possibly just have corrupted sectors on your hard disc.
Hard drive sectors with bad data integrity are these locations. Bad sectors are automatically hidden by Windows, so you won't see them unless you experience data corruption problems. Bad sectors on a failing hard disc can build up quickly, increasing the frequency of these problems business listings.
You can recover data from damaged sectors and block them from being used again with the use of a Windows command tool called CHKDSK. To quickly scan:
1 - Press Windows + E to launch File Explorer, pick This PC, click the failed disc or partition, and then select Properties from the context menu.
2 - Click Check on the Tools tab of the Properties window. You can still select Scan drive to launch the application even if Windows says that "You don't need to scan this drive." You can decide whether to correct any faults it identified after it's finished.
A reboot is necessary after a longer, more complete CHKDSK scan. When you have a day and a night free to use your computer:
1 - Right-click Start and choose Command Prompt to launch an Administrator Command Prompt (Admin)
2 - To restore data and correct errors, issue the following command: chkdsk / r c: (for your C: drive).
3 - When prompted, respond with Y to perform CHKDSK after restarting your computer.
3. Unusual Noises
You're in trouble if your hard disc starts making odd noises. The head attempts to write data, fails, returns to its home place, and tries again, producing a recurrent noise known as the "click of death." When the hardware makes grinding or screaming noises, it is likely that the bearings or spindle motor are failing.
If you can still recover data from your hard disc at this stage, you're lucky.
My hard drive appears to be malfunctioning. How Do I Proceed?
Here's what you can do if you believe that a hard drive failure is approaching.
Step one - Back up your data
The greatest thing you can do is to always have backup copies of your data on a second drive and to be prepared to buy a replacement free business listings.
Two drives failing simultaneously are unlikely to occur. Natural calamities like fires or floods would be an exception. In these scenarios, we advise storing a copy of your most crucial information in a different physical location, such as your workplace, a relative, or a friend.
Another option is to utilise an online backup service like OneDrive or Google Drive. If you use Microsoft Office, you might want to consider switching to a Microsoft 365 subscription, which provides you the most recent version of Office plus 1TB of OneDrive storage, which may be sufficient to back up your entire computer to the cloud.
Step two - Replace the Drive
When you're prepared to replace your SSD or HDD, consult our advice on how to choose and install the appropriate drive.
Step three - Properly Get Rid of Your Old Drive
Remember to delete your old drive before you discard it to stop someone from recovering your data.
Please refrain from throwing away your failing drive in any way. Electronics have dangerous parts and precious metals that shouldn't be disposed of in a landfill.
Avoid letting your hard drive crash!
You should not rely on software or signals to determine whether your hard disc is failing. It is more likely to fail suddenly and without any sort of indication beforehand. You should rely on backups rather than attempting to forecast something that is even less predictable than the weather.

Laptop Repairing Course Near Me
Tumblr media
The keyboard is the bridge between our thoughts and the digital world. A malfunctioning keyboard can be a major source of frustration, hindering productivity and communication. Imagine missed deadlines, sluggish communication, and the constant struggle to get words on the screen. Before resorting to replacing your entire laptop, take a deep breath! Many keyboard issues can be resolved through simple troubleshooting or repairs.
This blog will explore eight common causes of faulty keyboards and provide solutions to get you typing smoothly again. However, if the problem persists or requires more complex repairs, consider seeking help from a qualified laptop repair technician. You can find a reputable laptop repairing institute in Delhi that offers diagnostic and repair services for laptops, including keyboards.
1. Physical Damage
Accidents happen, and sometimes our laptops bear the brunt of them. Spilled liquids, food crumbs, dust buildup, and even dropping your laptop can all cause physical damage to your keyboard. Spilled liquids can corrode internal components, while debris can lodge beneath the keys, hindering their movement. If you suspect physical damage, it's crucial to turn off your laptop immediately and remove the power source. Avoid using the keyboard altogether. Gently turn the laptop upside down and allow any liquid to drain out. For thorough cleaning, compressed air can be used to remove dust and debris. However, avoid using any harsh liquids or inserting sharp objects between the keys, as this can further damage the delicate components. In cases of extensive liquid damage or severe physical trauma, seeking professional help from a laptop repair technician is recommended.
2. Software Issues

Diagnosing and repairing hardware problems typically requires specialized tools and expertise. If basic troubleshooting methods fail to resolve the issue, consider seeking help from a qualified laptop repair technician.
7. Preventing Future Issues
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure! Here are some steps you can take to prevent future keyboard problems:
Maintain a clean working environment: Avoid eating or drinking near your laptop to minimize the risk of spills.
Use a keyboard cover: A keyboard cover can help protect your keyboard from dust, debris, and accidental spills.
Clean your keyboard regularly: Use compressed air to periodically blow out any dust or debris that might accumulate beneath the keys.
Practice proper handling: Avoid placing heavy objects on your laptop or applying excessive pressure on the keyboard.
8. Seeking Professional Help
