@EF Both the wired and wifi are Realtek. I don't know the exact model of the wifi chip off the top of my head. Currently researching it. Debian recognized and supported both just fine. The laptop is an older #Windows7 era Toshiba Satellite.
#Windows7
@JdeBP That laptop has some problems. I was able to get FreeBSD installed after changing it from #BIOS to #UEFI (with hybrid CSM). I spent some time with it today on my lunch break and changed it to UEFI with native CSM. There was no change. But, what I did find is I am unable to update the BIOS (even after the recent recommended downgrade from HP) because....the NIC isn't recognized. That is new. So now the laptop is currently stuck on a firmware from 2018 with apparently no #Ethernet. Stupendous!
I set it aside and dug out another spare laptop. This time my mother's old #Toshiba #Satellite that was running #Windows7. It's a Core i7 with 8GB with an ancient 5,400 RPM disk. Should be fine. Well, I ran into problems after choosing the auto #ZFS option. After that, the installer could not proceed. Even after rebooting the laptop and restarting the installer I was unable to do anything to the disk, including delete slices or choose auto UFS. I have never experienced this before with FreeBSD and I am comically puzzled.
I did have a spare FreeBSD 14.1 DVD laying around and so far the installer is working just fine, even if it is moving slower than molasses down a freezer wall.
Así fue el anuncio comercial de Windows 7 en Japón.
Retour sur 6 mois d'utilisation exclusive de #Linuxmint ( #cinnamon ) après avoir pris la(difficile)décision de ne plus avoir de postes #Windows.
Je cumule #linux et des #virtualisation de #windowsXP, #windows7, #vista en 32 et 64b. (pour tests et l'accés à d'anciens dossiers et logiciels bureautique, Dao, Cao et d'autres encore plus spécifiques tout en cherchant leur équivalent ss Linux)
Ravi, tout fonctionne bien, au delà de mes espérances. (avec quand même de bonnes bases en bidouillage).

oh hey, I saw a borked computer in the wild yesterday - here's (I'm assuming) Windows 7 on a monitor at Bond Street

Imagine if Microsoft just recognized one day that #Windows11 was bad and went back to #Windows7 😌
Once again I find myself wondering into the void: why is my Windows 7 machine installing updates?
Hello #Fediverse, here’s today’s daily OS-tan!
This one is Nanami Madobe (窓辺ななみ), the official mascot for Windows 7 in Japan! She’s one of the most well-known OS-tans to many people.
A Twitter account dedicated to her was created on September 14, 2009, to share Windows 7 updates, while her first official appearance came shortly after. On September 24, 2009, it was revealed that Nanami was part of a special Windows 7 Ultimate promotional bundle, limited to 7,777 preorders. This exclusive set included system sounds and wallpapers.
Born on April 6, Nanami is depicted as a first-year college student from a tech-savvy family with a father and brother who are PC enthusiasts. Despite being inexperienced, she was roped into working part-time at a computer parts shop when Windows 7 debuted.

🔎 Windows 7 stripped to 69 MB still boots A (nerdy) developer removed nearly everything from Microsoft #Windows7 to reduce it to a mere 69MB. Yet the OS still boots, showcasing minimal footprint possibilities and deep insights into system dependencies. #ransomNews #OSminimalism #WindowsHack

Windows 7 a été réduit à 69 Mo : mais pourquoi faire ? (non ça n’est pas une version pour adultes)

#Mac4Ever #Windows #windows7
Ein Entwickler hat #Windows7 auf nur 69 MB geschrumpft - eine Reduktion um mehr als 99,5% gegenüber dem Original-#Betriebssystem von #Microsoft. Das System bootet zwar, ist aber mehr oder weniger nutzlos. https://winfuture.de/news,154651.html?utm_source=Mastodon&utm_medium=ManualStatus&utm_campaign=SocialMedia
