Stop the Presses

I just plugged a new USB 2.0 card into my computer. Now, brace yourself for this.

Linux recognized it, and loaded the correct driver, without me doing anything.

I’m serious, I just plugged it in and turned it on. And it worked. In Linux.

Holy Mother of Fuck.

Some other reactions:

<rakaur> i bought a usb2 card
<rakaur> worked as soon as i plugged it in
<rakaur> in linux
<harrimat> WHAT THE FUCK

Steve was just as surprised:

<rakaur> brace yourself now
<rakaur> i bought a usb2 card
<rakaur> shut off linux
<rakaur> plugged it in
<rakaur> turned on linux
<rakaur> and it worked.
<rakaur> immediately.

<sycobuny> !1!!
<sycobuny> 1!1
<sycobuny> WQHATHATHAT?@!?!
* sycobuny impossible!
<rakaur> with the right driver.
<sycobuny> I was totally expecting “I have discovered a cure for Cancer.” not something impossible
