one recent ultrabook

having a HiDPI touchscreen and a recent Intel CPU with an Iris Xe GPU, it better stay on Windows probably.

an X11/Wayland console to WSL or msys
a cozy shortcut to use mintty and stuff
something to have the alu palmrests soak in the sweat
maybe some neat keybindings to make up for lack of Home/End/PageUp/PageDown

a HP 14-dk0017nw that I've been given

cleanup of cooling as a dire necessity
thermal paste, a dire necessity too
battery is dead
BSD or Linux
maybe fixing the left touchpad button that sticks out badly often

a HP 2510p

Core2Duo U7600, 1280x800

i need my friend to help me with its touchbar so that I can have touchpad
the friend will also give me a new cat-tongue TrackStick rubber
and help me fix the loose hooks of the battery that make it lose power

a PowerMac G5

DP 2.0 GHz Early 2005

i need to pack it up, sans HDDs and stuff, in its original box sometime when I'm there at parents' and send it to myself

Dell Latitude CPxH

Three of them: the displayless, the sentimental, and the most working one. The best keyboard stays in the latest of them, although was the Touch Stick working? Because maybe not after all.

picking an OS. Windows 98, 2000, or OpenBSD.

the IGEL 3/2 thin client I've just got

presumably a VIA Eden CPU, 64MB RAM, and a CF adapter.

getting an SD-CF adapter? or at least CF cards.
Windows NT 4 on one card and Windows 98 on another

that Ideapad

OpenBSD on a pendrive for a server & wireguarding router

a HP t540 thin client
