Practical Mechanics, Tuesday, June 10, 2014

"Sorry I missed last week, guys," Ben said from the front of the room, smiling apologetically. "There was a suddden attack of...cat. Fandom, right? Anyway, today we're going to do some really basic practical mechanics today: stuff you probably either do already or need to know in the dorms. We're going program a DVR, work a Blu-Ray player, and troubleshoot a wonky laptop. Just as a reminder, if any of your real stuff gets to be broken beyond your ability to fix it, you can either stop by my office during the week or wander down to Stark's in town. I worked there when I was a student here."

Re: Fix a Laptop!

Joker wasn't Barry, by any means. He wasn't a fraction of Barry. But (after he'd turned the laptop off and back on again, of course), he'd managed to hook it up to his omnitool and fire up an all-in-one repair tool he'd downloaded from the extranet.

After that, he sat and waited impatiently. "Come on, there's less than a terabyte on this thing! How long can it possibly take to scan?!?"
