Talking with the folks in the local #vintage / #retrocomputing community, they clued me in that the #ThinkPad #RAID is a steaming pile of 💩 and not worth the trouble.

🤷 Oh well. Thanks for cluing me in

So I swapped out the two testing #NVMe drives I was using and reinstalled the original sticks - to have #windoz10 demanding for the #bitlocker recovery key. 🤦‍♂️

Well, time to wipe & install #windoz11 then.

Install went fine, only 4 rando #drivers to find for all #devices to be recognized and working.

Using my #CTT scripts to install the majority of applications, then to remove the #spyware #bloatware and other garbage #micro$oft added to #windows11

Then migrate my #data from my other ThinkPad. Welcome to my #sunday #funday

Cet allumé libertarien de Koenig (c'est quand même lui qui proposait de "fixer un prix à ses données personnelles" pour autoriser "tout un chacun d'en faire commerce librement" - il n'a que ce mot, libre, à la bouche).
Le voilà qui a une épiphanie concernant l'ia, parce qu'il préssent que ça va toucher à "sa liberté". (Bonus facepalm micro$oft inside)

Yay! Late night work here. Decided to put a petal from the wilting sunflower in the yard under the microscope. Unlike most of the previous microscope shots I've posted here the past few days, this one was lit "through" and not "on" (I use an old microscope and I use a desk lamp to direct the light onto the specimen). I've changed some factors in the whole set, so probably the magnification here is about 320X; 10X for objective, 10X for eyepiece, 3.2X for the camera and lens combination.
Done with focus-stacking, but as usual, it's not that smooth (and as you can see, had to crop large areas out). I've stacked around 57 images. I need to find some way to make the whole process systematic and coherent as much as possible.... or maybe just get another microscope 🤷🏻‍♂️
