So, an Acer Chromebook. The wife threw it away a few years ago because it died. Royse got it going and I've been using it since. It'll shut down now and then and when I get it up and running, a little box comes up saying something about one update remaining, then that version of Chrome won't be supported or something like that. The same box pops up when the battery is almost dead.
Yesterday morning, it worked first thing while I was eating breakfast. I listened to the radio on it, checked email, YT and the local newspaper, the usual things I do every morning. When I came back in from doing chores and opened it up to watch Ag Day while I worked out, it did that blue light on thing where I always have to shut it down and restart it. It came up, I put in my password and got a screen that said something like ''Chrome OS damaged or missing. Insert'' some stick. I shut it down and restarted it, it kept doing the same thing.
I guess I just wonder if it happened because of that little box that kept coming up saying it wouldn't be supported anymore of if there was some virus or what? Not that it matters squat anymore. I have no intention of fixing it. We needed a new coffee maker too, so the wife went and got one and got a new Chromebook too. As cheap as they are and as easy as it is to restore information to one, they're as throw away as a disposable razor. All I had to do with the new one was log in with my email address and password and everything in the old one popped up in the new one seamlessly. I just wondered what really happened to the old one.
