Being bullied and harassed for my diverse beliefs

So I want to make some friends at uni however I keep getting bullied when I start telling them my beliefs. So I support the Israeli government and I am a Zionist and vote Reform UK. I also support the Holocaust, the Nanjing massacre, the Holodomor genocide, the Kazakh Famine, the Rwandan genocide, the Armenian genocide and the Cambodian genocide and I am a member of the KKK. Also I'm a Nazi.

For some reason they keep calling me a fascist or something and go up to my dorm waving flags and putting stickers on my door? Am i cooked?

How do I get a pen licence?

I've been trying so hard to improve my handwriting, using joined up handwriting and my handwriting book but my lecturer won't even spend his time to look at it? I've been wanting to get my hands on the pen licence since year 2 ever since I saw all my friends writing with their cool handwriting pens. I've been practicing my handwriting 1 hour a day ever since then. Will I be able to secure a graduate job if I haven't got my pen licence?

Should I go to University of Derby to study Mongolian throat singing? It's ranked better than Oxford. Cheers

Blackberry Torch 9860 won't show up in desktop manager or BBSAK but shows up in device manager and file explorer (windows)

I'm trying to update the OS and remove an IT policy off a torch 9860 I got but the phone won't show up in BB desktop manager. Strangely it shows up perfectly fine in file explorer as a drive. I tried usb storage as well as the sync media option on the phone which made no difference.

New bangernomics shitter unlocked. £600 fiat panda automatic with just 25k miles

Great news? Yes its a crappy dualogic semi auto gearbox but hopefully it lasts at least a year or 2. At least it's the top spec so its got alloys and automatic climate control (which only works on defrost/feet). Car was sitting for 5 years before I'd bought it, took it for MOT and it passed first try and runs like its brand new.

Got this PS2 SCPH-30003 for £10 at a car boot sale and turns out its modchipped. Is the modchip just for playing backups/region free or are there any other functions?

Trying to log into steam with the mobile authenticator but the app crashes as soon as I scan the QR code. Only way to log in is if I tap really quick as soon as the yes button comes up.

I'm running Android 11 and on a Samsung S20 FE

Buyer complaining because google said the postage was free but he got charged

Basically someone bought my item and now the buyer is complaining he had to pay postage as google told him it was free for some reason. (On my ebay listing it does not indicate any free postage, its paid). I basically told him to either cancel order or agree to send the item, they already sent an offer too which I had accepted. Is this the right thing to do?

Which car would you pick

Basically I'm thinking of my next car and I was wondering what you guys would pick. Here's the choices:

The images are there for engagement

Mercedes C-Class W204 or CLK, it would be the smaller engines so CLK200/C180K, maybe the turbo 1.6 W204 as well. Really I just want to try out a Mercedes since I've already driven a BMW before.

Golf GTI mk5/mk6

Mini Cooper S R56 LCI or maybe F56 if I can stretch the budget a bit. I did have a non-s R56 before and it was a really good car despite it only having 120hp. The insurance is the cheapest of the 3 as well.

Insurance is about 1.5-2.2k for these cars at 20yo, most expensive to insure was the Golf GTI as expected. Surprisingly it is actually cheaper to insure a Mercedes S500 (It was about 1.8k) but I will probably go bankrupt maintaining it and filling it up.

And I will be doing mostly a 30 mile motorway commute.

Is it a bad idea to have a privacy film on my speedometer so that it hides the speed from a passenger?

Literally the only reason is so that my parents don't start shouting at me from driving 70 on a motorway instead of 50 even though its legally allowed in the highway code. Would this fail MOT?

Reset password on disgo AK7802 windows ce laptop

So I finally got a working windows CE laptop (I had a wm8650 netbook before but it powers on and shows nothing on the screen, if anyone knows how to fix that lmk).

However it has a password on it and is stuck on the screen. There is a bios menu that lets you erase 3 storage options (NAND, Flash2 and XIP) but I don't want to brick it. Tried looking for a firmware and this manufacturer doesn't offer downloads for some reason.

Anyone have an idea on how to remove/bypass the password?

The model is a Disgo Netbrowser 3000 running Windows CE 5 and has the AK7802 processor

Upgrading to component speakers from coaxial with factory tweeter connectors

So I have a MK3 Renault Clio which originally has 4 coaxial speakers. The car could have been specced with tweeters but on mine they are just dummy components and instead there are front coaxials. The connectors are there though so I got a pioneer TS-G130C component set, would I be able to just use the OEM tweeter connections with no crossover box?

​

This is on the stock radio setup, only upgrades I am doing is the front and rear speakers (rear would be a Pioneer TS-G1320F)

First retro desktop, saved this PC from 2005 from an old house for free!

Found this old PC as well as a newer dell (Inspiron 620) in a friend's house, this one had been sitting outside for presumably a number of years inside the Dell PCs box (hence the cardboard on the side panel). Did some heavy clean up and it fired up, only issue is the motherboard needs recapping as usual with hardware of this time so its unstable. And the PSU probably needs replacing/recapping as well as I saw a bulged cap while cleaning.

Specs:

AMD Sempron 2000+

Gigabyte 7VT600P-RZ motherboard

ATI Radeon 9250 128MB AGP

512MB RAM (I had some spare sticks so upgraded it to 1GB)

80GB HDD

DVD-ROM drive

Floppy drive

Presumably this was built around 2005 ish judging by the manufacture date on the DVD drive, probably going to use this as a Windows 98 build. And it's my first retro desktop (I have had tons of laptops but never a desktop this old)
