NUC is more of an enterprise/enthusiast product so it is supported better than Vivobook. Due to the new MS driver fiasco, cheaper consumer products are relegated to the Asus bootable cloud refresh tool or are a lot more work.
Not a big deal for me, just wanted to sell it and thought Windows would be more appealing than Ubuntu.

Nope but sounds legit.
I think 90% of people that had home theaters in their living rooms back in the 2000s have fallen victim to Chip and Diana and are stuck with puny sound bars now.
Adding real flexibility to Atmos spatial sound could re-open doors for a lot of people if they can just squeeze in a few discrete or pleasant looking speakers wherever convenient.

re: Has anyone installed the Hexagon Lighting in their garage?

I just use those giant 50w “corn light” replacements for the old commercial HIDs. 500-600w equivalents. They’re not pretty and they defiantly make lots of shadows but they are damn bright and that helps a lot when I’m welding or soldering.
I use one in my attic too because there is only one light socket in the whole attic.
I get 3-5 years out of the cheap $15-20 ones.

re: Anyone installed Windows in the last couple months?

Yup I’m sure it goes better if you can get at least one network adapter going. For cheap laptops it’s not so easy.

It looks like MS recently went all-in on OEM certified driver segmentation, ripping everything else out of its official images.
If you have a Latitude or Optiolex or ThinkPad you’re still fine, but good luck trying to get a Vivobook or any consumer product to work without using the OEM recovery image filled with crapware.
It’s that or find about 7-8 drivers exactly matching your hardware IDs, so 3-4 tries for each driver or research and write down each one individually. Also, you get to do all that with the keyboard if you don’t have a very generic usb mouse lying around.

No. I’m way more worried about y’all next year than I am LSU now that you have some consistency

Nope but I honestly don’t know much about silver field other than he’s stepping up with STP.

Actually good hire. Gamble? Absolutely. Rather have him than hand LK his retirement check.

It’s looking that way. At least KU “gets to us” and causes crazy rivalry shite to happen.
AR just means a truck load of personal fouls and a Mizzou victory.

I’ve made it clear I’d rather have Franklin at a steep discount.
Is Lane Kiffento LSU even a big hire?
Posted by Dallaswho on 11/30/25 at 7:12 pm
This is not even close to CBK, DeBoer, Lincoln Riley, Bert, or even Mullen. Those guys weren’t even “available.” LK clearly was.

Anything 12th gen or later i5 or u5w/ 16+ GB ram. i3 is ok if model ends in “p” or “h”.
Memory and storage should be micron/crucial Samsung or SK.
Finding a laptop with Thunderbolt gives best of both worlds with single plug docking.

Mizzou is #1 in the SEC for the third straight year. No surprises there.

Maybe so, but this was a HUGE move at the time and it failed.

What history?
Any time a high-profile coach is taken from a P4 level school, decline continues.
Biggest moves:
CBK to LSU
Bert to Arkansas
Mullen to Florida
Charlie Strong, Mike Riley, Lincoln Riley, tom Herman, Chad morris, Scott frost, Willie Taggart.
This is not the group you want to be in.

AT&T Stadium is simply the world’s premiere sporting venue. Having the game in Atlanta just makes the SEC look more Southern and trashy.
You fired your dirtbag coach and messed up ole Miss for next year, basically giving us two wins. I have nothing against LSU any more.
I just don’t see things working out well for you given the history of coaching moves like this.

If you’re in DFW, I’ll let go of a like-new Asus Vivobook 10-core 1220p 20GB(asymmetrical) 256GB for $200.
Upgrade to 1TB Samsung = $260.
