I didn't even know there were books! Holy crap my world just improved!

I think your autocorrect keeps changing hannukah to hannukiah, which caused my misunderstanding haha

Like squares are rectangles, but rectangles are not squares. :)

I've never heard of hannukiah menora, either. I've either heard, menora (most common), hannukah menora (least common), or hannukiah (only heard in specific situations).

Cute title. I'll see if I can find it. Thanks!

Nice!!! I'm so glad you got all the important hardware working! I have a CF-54 (I think) that I got from a random auction with Win10. I never tried to install Linux on it, because of the failure of the CF-30 at work, but in light of your success, I may just give it a go.

Did a search. After reading a few articles, I think I can summarize it like this:

Menora means lamp, and is usually 7 candles. Hannukah menora is a lamp for hannukah and has 9 candles. It is usually called a hannukiah, but that's hard for non-Hebrew speakers to say, so we usually hear menora or hannukah menora.

Edit: forgot to include the sources. I'll try to find them all, but here's the one that, though the shortest, said the most.

Edit: found two more of the sources (1, 2), but can't refind the longest one. Sometimes, it's very annoying not having history saved.

Record it maybe? Not sure if that can work. But maybe you can let it play overnight, recorded in Audacity line-in or something?

I've done antiX on the CF-30, but the touchscreen wasn't working. I didn't really use it in the first place, but it was still a bummer. To be fair, the touchscreen barely worked on its original WinXP with OEM drivers built specifically for it. Good luck! I really hope you get all the needed hardware running!

What's the title?

I take out a pad and pen, "what's your bank credentials? Also, your [social media] credentials? I won't use it against you. Promise. ... No? I thought you have nothing to hide?" I put the pad away, and hold out my hand, "let me see you phone. I want to look through your pictures and internet history. ... No again? Huh. I guess you do care about privacy."
