Does it post?
Instructions unclear. Wrapped laptop around post.
He seemed to manage it just fine, it shows up for me with no issue
Edit: /j
(I was referring to the Power-On Self Test. It’s that blinky-light thing mobos do before booting off a disk. For a mobo to post, it just needs a cpu, ram and power.)
Yeah, I was just making a dumb joke cause I like bad jokes :)
It’s a pun. Post as in power on self test, and post as in post to social media.
I thought you mean he’d mailed it to you.
Have you tried turning it off and back on again?
looks like you bricked it.
Repeatedly until it stopped screaming.
When the compression algorithm goes too far
Computer.tar
Akshyually, that’s just archival format, not compression.
Failed opportunity to create a compression algorithm called feather.

I’d recommend CrunchBang, but it’s no longer developed.
There’s actually a fork of a fork of a fork of a fork but it also hasn’t been updated in 8 months
If you’re talking about BunsenLabs, it’s definitely still active.
It went crunch but not bang yet
Just poke the battery and it will go bang too.

“fell off a desk”
How tall was this desk?
Regular height, but it was on the ISS.
… That was Balanced on top of the statue of Liberty or something
try to bury it in some rice first
Honestly the internals aren’t necessarily damaged even if the case is obliterated, but you’ll need a replacement screen, mouse, and keyboard for starters. Highly likely that the damage to the sockets and ports will require removal of parts and idk if it will still post afterwards. The MB is often smaller than the case itself and the bus is often wires in laptops, so it might have survived.
All in all, probably costs more to fix than a new PC.
Just do a headless install.
Most of the laptops I’ve had open lately have had about the top third be the motherboard and the bottom two-thirds be battery, with maybe some ports and speakers tucked down the side. So I’d expect that last of replacements to include the battery, too.
I might check whether the hard drive survived - a decent M.2 is small, expensive and reusable - and maybe the RAM if it’s not soldered in.
You’ll have to install it like on the bottom
Oh, I know what that is, that is the computer of a Windows 11 user
Something something Cloudstrike
Its cringing
That’s why you don’t put your laptop in your backpocket
puts it in my butt
thumbs up
It may be very mildly damaged, shouldn’t be an issue just replace some parts
OS/2 WARP MIGHT BE THE BETTER CHOICE
