So I was super excited to try out Windows 10, and after about a week of waiting it finally gave me the go ahead to download and install it.

AND BOY AM I GLAD I INSTALLED IT ON MY JUNK LAPTOP FIRST CUZ HOLY CRAP WHAT A LOAD OF TRASH!

Windows 10 install assistant gave me the go ahead and said my laptop was up to spec and could handle the install, but let me tell you everything went downhill from there almost instantly.

Mic stopped working.
Cam stopped working.
Touchpad stopped working.
etc etc etc...

Thankfully I figured out the problem with the touchpad, but every time I would restart, the same error kept coming back and completely disabled the touchpad.
Never got the other stuff to work again, but it didn't matter because I decided after like 3 days of fighting this damn thing trying to get it working again that I had enough and was going to reinstall win7 and get my laptop back to working order....

Turns out that was a pipedream.

I don't know what the hell win10 did to my drive but it made it impossible to download or even load windows 7 from the install disc. After trying to reinstall win7 for around 4 hrs I gave up and pulled the drive. I'm gonna stick it in my main rig and reformat it and then install win 7 from there and hopefully get it to a state where it can boot from and hopefully put it back into my laptop and get the damn thing working again, but at this point I aint too positive anything but a new hdd is going to fix this problem.

Super unstoked right now.

My advice, dont bother, its a had damn mess.

>making earphones small and round, not protruding from the ear
>both earphones need to communicate for things such as audio sync
>signals have to pass through the brain which is very, very inefficient due the density of brain tissue and fluid inside it
>this causes frequent fuckups
>Bluetooth signal to either left or right earphone cut out completely due to the average position of a phone, below your head to the left or right, needing to pass through more than your brain's dense material

Apple solved this easily; put the antenna on the downward stalk and pass signals though where there is no brain matter. Flawless connection from phone and L&R earphones. Conveniently also great position to put microphones right at the end.

How the fuck did no other manufacturer see the biggest flaw in truly wireless earphones after all these years?

If you would like to try out GNU/Linux you can do one of the following:
0) Install a GNU/Linux distribution of your choice in a Virtual Machine using VirtualBox or other software made for this puporse for safety purposes.
