Second Cup Tech Support

Year of the Linux Desktop

Microsoft really made me work on getting a new Windows 11 touchscreen PC set up without a Microsoft Account this morning. Doubly challenging since I hadn't yet had my second cup. Triplely challenging because I was having to do it remote via Discord video from a phone. The worst part is the Tom's Hardware instructions didn't work, but somehow I lucked into getting it to let it have a local account anyway. I wish Hog 4 PC ran on Linux instead.

Now including trying to figure out how to get the monitor to actually do the advertised "single cable solution" for video and touch.

Was able to get the Hoglet working by using my super power. (Meaning I looked it up in the manual.)

I also solved the Hoglet not outputting DMX. (Again, by reading the manual.)

Keep in mind this is all over phone and discord video.
