Just had to completely reinstall the OS on my Mac laptop because something in the OS got corrupt and it started going nuts.

Never had that before! Thankfully returning it to its previous state (well, one major OS back - it installed Ventura rather than Sonoma for some reason) was not too painful an experience. I guess I got to junk a load of cruft too.

Still, not how I'd planned to spend my evening.

Mm. Maybe I'm just paranoid, but it might be worth checking what the significant security updates are between Ventura and Sonoma.

i have spent a month trying to get my PC to boot off install media as it needed nuking to the bare metal.

USB. nope. DVD. Nope. Spent far too long beating PXE with a stick. Got every other device to work except the PC...

Then today it just...booted from the network...except ubuntu now didn't pick up the win10 install

I HATE tech at times
