Living off the land 100%

You seem to have some kind of magic money tree Stan- always enough for beer, luxury bus trips and laptops, never enough for food and beds.

Always enough for food mate ;)

You naysayers seem to becoming more pathetic as the thread moves on.

I am an artists. I am also a pretty fucking good salesperson - I always make as much as I need, but sometimes I am just a lazy fuck who would sooner sleep out with the street guys rather than pay rip-off money for a shit bed.

My laptop is just a laptop. Why would anyone think the memory couldn't be upgraded, or processor changed? Idiots.

I now have 4GB RAM and 64GB ROM rather than 2GB and 32GB. New processor is an Intel summat. I don't need to check the hardware. The way it works now (Win10 has no problems installing upgrades when I am not looking) is much better.

Anyway, you sad fuck losers (I am just talking to the SFL's here), I am still walking. No more 50/60 KM's in a single day, but still walking.

Off to find a cafe for a late breakfast and recharge of all electrical goodies.

Perhaps you should check the hardware so you know whether it's really 2gb ram / 32 gb rom or not
 
I have just dusted down my 1970's Observers Book of Hippies.

Layabout- Check
Freeloader- Check
Has assets/ trust fund elsewhere- check
Able to justify how things should be "free" to take - check
Thick skinned enough to take from those poorer than himself - check
I think you mean your eye-spy book
 
When did he ever walk 50-60km in a day?


That is 35 miles a day-ish. 10-12 hours solid purposeful walking. To do this on an extended basis in 35c heat, whilst scrabbling about in fields for vittles and roadkill to nom in the evening is rather unrealistic. This is utter utter fantasy.

Stanley has jumped the shark here. if he is so careless about maintaining his web of deceit on a truly petty matter like walking, how are we meant to believe his bountiful love life and slap up free food tales ?

OK here is one "idiots" opinion.
I have computer science degree, and 15 years experience managing over 30,000 servers across 5 datacentres globally.

Your laptop, as stated clearly by you on this thread.
Acer, Aspire One Cloudbook 11

quotes about upgrading it from websites:

https://liliputing.com/2015/10/acer...ook-for-under-200-but-it-comes-at-a-cost.html
Hoping you can upgrade the Cloudbook 11? You can’t.
there’s no way to upgrade the memory or storage

Aspire One Cloudbook - Possible to upgrade RAM / S... - Acer Community - 400210
I've been told you can't change the hard drive

i have a acer aspire one cloudbook 14 , how do i upgrade the storage and ram so i can game
Unfortunately, you can't upgrade the storage and RAM



As with a lot of netbooks, the internal components have been soldered on.
As you can see here:

These are not replaceable items.


The one thing that can be done is sticking a flash memory card in the laptop's SD card reader.
Just a normal SD card from any old digital camera. This will give you some extra space to save files. Kind of like you would have done with a floppy disk back in the old days.
You say you've had a 32GB increase. An SD card this size would cost £9
But you'd be wildly deluded if you considered this to be an sort of upgrade to the machine :D


A new screen for your laptop can be purchased for less than £30
But you can buy a whole 2nd hand working laptop for less than £60

I'm glad you have a working laptop. But it does sound like you got ripped off a bit, here.
 
Well as no tech guru has come back on this, I dipped my toe in & googled it.

Well, according to various sites the acer aspire one cloudbook 11 can't be upgraded, e.g.

Hoping you can upgrade the Cloudbook 11? You can’t.

While it’s relatively easy to open up the case (just remove the 6 screws holding the bottom panel in place), once you get inside you’ll notice that there’s no way to upgrade the memory [RAM] or storage [Hard-drive].

:hmm:

I now have 4GB RAM and 64GB ROM rather than 2GB and 32GB. New processor is an Intel summat. I don't need to check the hardware. The way it works now (Win10 has no problems installing upgrades when I am not looking) is much better.

Even if they found some why to upgrade the RAM to 4GB, not sure why it should need a new processor, because the one it comes with, Intel Celeron N3050, can handle 8GB of RAM.

* I assume by ROM, you actually mean HDD (Hard Disk Drive).

Does sound like you have been ripped-off? :(

How much is all the cost?

I could believe 20 - 25 miles a day. But whilst doing all the scavenging, with a bad ankle, as an unfit alcoholic street sleeper, I'm not convinced at all.

Beat you too it!

He didn't say a cost. He just said it was "expensive"
 
OK. Another concession to 100% living off the land. I have been to the chemist and bought some Ibuprofen.

But...

I am going to search the streets and the beaches for a second hand syringe, crush the Ibuprofen, dissolve it in sea water, and then inject it directly into the pain of my foot. I think that makes me about 80% honest.

--------we are all adults with adult minds and adult senses of humour aren't we?--------

Some times it is best to ask first. I would have preferred opium, but cash does not allow presently.

To remind myself: I am going to make lists of all I like about Portugal, and the very few (but, critical) things I don't like.
