@tophneal too nerdy stuff for me.
Now I'm curious why you chose that particular username 🤔
building inspector maybe
You won't be able to do this then. You'd need to learn your way around linux, servers, ssh, etc to be able to run these services.
I’m afraid if the display is actually dead then most of the options to keep the laptop computing will likely be “too nerdy” for you. Pretty much all of them will involve using it as a headless server.
....what the fuck are you on about? Have you never seen an HDMI jack on a laptop before?
Nah you’re right, I was mid-first cup. HDMI, usbc dp are both potential options to use video out. I’ve been corrected. Rude as fuck way to do that though.
I suppose that was rather rude if you're like, going by what words mean or something. I apologize.
I appreciate your apology and hope you’re having a good day today
