So you can’t see any image on a screen?
Silly question, but did you try to reboot it? Gives nothing?
Maybe you accidentally turned the screen off? There is a special key on a keyboardof any laptop that allows you to turn off the screen. Usually it should be pressed together with FN key.
Try to press that key when laptop is working.
That’s a strange situation, I never heard something similar.
I can only assume the possibility that you somehow burned the USB port.
I have no idea why it happened though, moreover, why it broke the screen.
Any updates yet?

So signing up for twitter makes you give your phone number to get through the set-up process.

that’s a bit concerning

Ha, guess you haven’t heard how YT asks for a photo of an ID / drivers liscence or give your credit card info to be able to watch mature only videos :stuck_out_tongue:

Ah, I’ve heard of that, but only for european countries. Only roadblock I’ve come across with those is just ā€œsign in to confirmā€ if it’s age-restricted.

I’m taking the L home at 5am. There is a gal a few rows away from me doing her makeup on the way to ?the office? It’s not a touch up; it’s full blown makeup.

I’m Ignoring that she isn’t wearing her face covering (still mandatory on pubic transit), but I don’t think I have ever seen this before except in movies and it strikes me as odd. Is this strange or am I being an old fudd?

I see that being done while driving which is way worse. The things you see on the road. I travel about 35k miles a year and see a lot of stupid shit that’s dangerous.

Not if you do it through a computer or laptop.

So I have seen this a lot too! Yes totally dangerous. At least this person wasn’t in control of the train car.

Yep! At one point her face was two distinctly different colours.

Like what do you do if you have only half your ā€œface onā€ as I have heard it called, and there is a need to evacuate the train? Do you want to be saving a little kid from a burning train car only half ready to face the day?? Then the news reporter shows up and wants an interview; you should be a hero but instead you go viral for entirely the wrong reason!!

^^ I did mention I was coming home from work at 5am right?? My layover pickup time was at 4:10pm last evening and then I worked San Antonio to Denver to San Diego and then the red eye back to Chicago (landed at 4:20am). Apologies if I’m a bit out of it.

Heatwave! In Australia we call that a light spring or warm winter at the most.

The heat isn’t the problem, it’s the damn humidity. It’s 20°C outside with 93% humidity at 7am and in my room it’s 29.5°C. Feels like I’m living in a bog and with all these damn mosquitos, I may just be in one :grin:
