Papart @papart.bsky.social · 06/10/2026After replacing PSU, the PC does not get to bios. Eliminating variables, it looks like either CPU (as diagnostic LED gets to DRAM but not CPU) or there is something wrong with motherboard. Anyhow, I will need to get this serviced as "luckily" still have 1 month of warranty on it. 000

Reposted by PapartO w l l i e 🦉 @eternowllie.bsky.social · 03/10/2026So apparently the EU KIDS Act stands for "Keeping Internet Digital Spaces Accountable and Trustworthy" ... Act. Surely it should therefore be KIDSAT Act? My pet theory is that "KIDS" in this case actually stands for "Killing Industry, Destroying Services [and make life worse for everyone]" Act. 142
