HOW THE F*CK?!?

HOW THE FUCK DID I MANAGE TO DO THE FOLLOWING IN ONE MONTH??

For starters, my friend was about to throw away his Dell Latitude XT, because he couldn't figure out what was wrong with it. Long story short, I put an OS on it (Ubuntu) and it was working just fine. It was a little glitchy because it had an old HDD. I decided to see if the disk was damaged, but in the process, I ruined the HDD and ended up throwing it away.

THEN, my other friend had this old ULTRA laptop and IT didn't have an OS. I tried to put Windows XP Professional SP1 on it because I have a disk for that. Well, the computer is 32-bit and the disk is 64-bit so it got stuck on 17% installed and I shut it off. Now I fucked the SSD that it had...

THEN, I cracked the PCB on my only 32GB USB so now everything is stuck on it.

1. Pretty sure the Windows Installer won't even let you get to that step if the CPU is unsupported.
2. You have a 64-bit Windows XP disc? Those things are ridiculously uncommon, mostly because 64-bit XP was based on Windows Server 2003, so lots of software got confused by it.

But then why a SSD? The cheapest hard drive would be better - and won't chew itself up due to automatic defragging.

In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if the Windows XP installer did shenanigans which on a normal drive would place system files in the right spot but on a SSD results in confusion followed by death.

    @Xdqwerty crashd was the exploit for LG TVs to root practically any.
    I got word of it this january and rooted my TV. Was pretty impressed.
    Since then LG patched the command to root and then the developer mode app itself from making vulnerabilities.

    And then I found out that having a rooted TV lets you use PPPwn to jailbreak a PS4 on firmware 11. Finally uses for my rooted LG (I hate the playstation as such the use is gone)
