   zombie tablet
Monday, January 23 2017

location: rural Hurley Township, Ulster County, New York

Remember a couple weeks ago when I had to give up on my RCA Cambio W101 V2 Windows 10 tablet after bricking it with an errant UEFI setting? Well it turned out that I could get a replacement "motherboard" for the tablet on eBay for only a little more than $20, meaning the cost of that bricking was only that expense (if one doesn't count all the time with which that tablet so efficiently dispatched). Today the replacement motherboard arrived, I installed it, and the tablet came back to life. Better still, the screen is responding to touch once more. If I try to install an alternative operating system some day, you can be sure I'll be backing everything up so as not to wonder about where to find drivers.
Meanwhile, life continued despite the Trumpian irrationality that had taken charge of the affairs of the nation. Perhaps nothing much will change for me personally in this new paradigm. I have a feeling, though, that this ship is going to be so badly captained that when we run aground, the abstraction of remote rule will dissipate in an instant.
