Damn, RIP Big O. I remember when you started playing in the NBA. 54 is younger than I am, and that's way too young for an athlete to die.

Yeah I remember watching him in the heyday of early 90s college basketball. RIP

At 6'9" I don't think it is unusual for someone that size to die younger -- lots of stress on the body even if you are in good shape.

Concluding my Tiny10 adventure from yesterday, it turns out Tiny10 didn't work on my laptop. I don't know the exact reasons, but I suspect the eMMC drive was involved. Since Tiny10 is so stripped down, it probably lacked the necessary drivers to handle that drive type.

I switched to the official Windows 10 64-bit Home ISO, and everything worked fine. Lessons learned:

1. Laptops with an eMMC drive seem limited to official OS releases, not lightweight or modified versions.
2. Windows 10 64-bit Home did not appear to require a product key, which works for my needs. I didn't notice anything being locked or restricted. This might be because I logged in with my existing Microsoft account.
