Ended up securing the A5 piece of the Sun Rings with some twist ties, and they're holding very well! I'm calling this one done โ
use dd or "Restore from disk image" in Gnome Disks

Likely the latter. It gets more views
I'm stoked to build the mk2! I may crack it open just to look at it when I get home lol No sweat there, got lots in various sizes for electronic repairs already!
Why not split the difference and do both. Hdd for storage and SSD for services/containers. To help with the power load/performance hit I'd recommend using a usb to sata adapter that has external power. Overall though it sounds like a micro optipl x would be great for you. They're cheap, more powerful, but still sip power, and usually can fit nvme and 2.5" drives together.
They look great!
Yup, that cap file is the one you'd use for an update. You download it, unzip it to your USB, and (sometimes) rename the cap file. After that it's more waiting than doing anything.
That's always helpful lol but now you've got the best of both worlds, you don't need to run an update and you know how to do it whenever you do
It's pretty easy overall. If you poke around in your bios there should be a firmware update option. It is worth looking up your motherboard to see if it matters which port you put the update drive into
I use a USB to install the update through the bios
Per the src, it's post coital coding
Mobile Suit Report Gundam Wing: Fuck You
I've always heard good things about it, but it appears to no longer be maintained. It may still be the best option for my older, low spec 'book.
After seeing they have a generic x86 iso for postmarketOS, I may try it too. Ive been wanting to try out the gnome mobile shell option in pmbootstrap
Got this thinking it was an HG kit, and opaque (Amazon seller had an incorrect listing.) Turns out it's not HG. Reminds me of the couple of no grades I've got.
Overall cool, and only one unused piece, but hard to keep the legs on. The translucent plastic feels pretty brittle and the stress/sanding marks are seemingly impossible to get out.
If I knew more about the specifics of this kit before buying, I probably wouldn't have. But I did, I built it, and Domon spent long enough for his brother. No need keeping them apart now!
Got these printed up by a friend at a sign shop. Took a while to cut bc the transparencies were thicker than normal. xacto wasn't doing the trick well enough for me, so I had to take my time with small scissors.
They all fit the stands well (despite some slight warping I'm choosing to get over now. they've been hit with a coat each of a small and large flake clear coat, and the top coat is now drying.
All that remains now is sucking it up and modifying the A5 piece that attaches to the core lander. I'm thinking I'll probably wait to try that until my second A5 piece has been confirmed to have started it's journey from Japan. I'd hate to mess this up and have to sit and brood on that without an ETA for a replacement to the very vital last piece.
I swear they made these 2 HGs with what Iโm doing in mind lol The only modding I had to do to the gundam was cutting and separating the front skirts. The back skirt was already designed to be able to tilt upwards at the waist. Next up is drilling slots for a slightly modified sun rings attachment to fit onto the core fighter for the full effect!
Good HG, but I feel like a part of me died when I realized the foil stickers actually did make the build easier/look better than painting. I was also a bit bummed my yellow paint wasn't laying down well, so I switched to gold for the small stuff that should be yellow. I tried some firsts for me in it too: testors white lightning and Tamiya panel liner ๐จ๐ผโ๐ณ๐ chefs kiss on both. I'm expecting some cutting/part removal when he's mounted on the mobile horse.
It's always bothered me that F91 and Turn A enemy MS kits have always been so hard to find. This looks like a WAAAY better kit than the Zollidia kit a grabbed about a year ago (one day I'll paint and assemble it.) But this Flat has me pondering making it next!

The Origin MG RX-78-2 was a real blast to put together! I recommend it for anyone on the fence about grabbing it. Worth. it.
Next up will be God Gundam+Fuunsaiki. Iโve got some rings printed on a type of transparency. I just have to cut them out and Iโll be able to have all the fun RG goodies on my HG!
I avoided painting moving parts bc I didn't want to hinder mobility for when he's put in his fight display with the origin grandpa.
Purple parts were painted matte black and given 2 coats of Purple Fog. Black and red pieces were given a single cost of Iridescent Shimmer, and the grey body pieces got a coat of metallic grey. Boosters were given a quick go of the Chrome Gundam marker on the rims.
These photos do the paint more justice https://imgur.com/a/ppICg3Y
Weapons are next, but I have to get more metallic grey first.
