Building a custom Buildroot Linux for a Pentium 2 laptop that can fit on a CD so I could back up a 2.5" IDE drive to a USB drive, probably.
On another note, last night, I had to get a Google TV set up on my dorm Wi-Fi, which requires me to either go through a portal to set it up or to go into my account and add the device’s MAC address. The TV (which was brand new and doing OOBE stuff) wouldn’t let me go to settings to get the MAC address without a network connection. Even more infuriating, there was a button in the Google Home app that said “Show MAC address”, but when I pushed it, it would say “Can’t get MAC address.” What I ended up doing to get around that crap was setting up my Debian Thinkpad (which I am writing from now) to share its internet connection over ethernet to finish the setup process so I could get to settings and get the MAC address.
On one hand, a funny experience, but on the other hand, I’m simultaneously both mad at Google and my dorm internet provider.
