    So if I’m understanding correctly - remember, I’m still learning, and I am an eager student - you insert your drive into my back port and then you load into my internal drive, and then everything works? Sounds good, when can we start?

        I’m not opposed to Microsoft if that’s the way people choose to live their life, but I will follow your lead

            Hey, we can work around that. Tell me more about this firmware crack though, I certainly am interested in modifying my hardware

              Well, this crack allows me to increase the padding around the buttons up top, allowing easier handling. My drive however will likely be neither hard nor solid, but probably floppy.

              The code that needs to be injected for this to work needs official approval first, though.

                I too would very much enjoy thus firmware crack, unfortunately the approval for such a thing is comparatively hard to come by and increasingly is frowned upon. I’ve thought about going around the official approval route but that is a headache of its own.

                (I live on TERF Island, and it sucks)

                  The dumbest part for me is that I already have an appointment with the cracked firmware distributors but it won’t go anywhere because I can’t even get on a waiting list to talk about offical approval.

                  We’re gonna get there. I can’t believe in either of our healthcare systems, but I believe in us.

      OK, I’m not white knighting here… but I don’t want to see you become the butt of the joke. All of this double and triple entendre is getting out of control. For all of this back loading to properly work you need a proper tower case. Personally I’m into cases by the Eiffel company. Eiffel towers are the best! You can front load AND back load simultaneously (some hand holding for structural support may be necessary). I utilize a method that has been widely recognized as the best. You have the comedic effect of a Spit Take along side the slow burn of a good Roast over how sloppy you com ports are. The colloquial term is SpitRoasting… it’s quite the undertaking but if we all work hard we can make this all come together.
