Sure whoever modded their eVic-VTC Mini Box Mod e-cigarette to play Flappy Bird is in the headlines now, but what about the fact that DOOM has been run on both an ATM and a Canon printer? There is also the mad genius who managed to get Windows 95 running on a Nintendo 3DS for reasons best left unexplored. Someone even went so far as to install Windows XP on an Android Wear watch, simultaneously useless and amazing at the same time. Top 10 lists are a bit overdone but this one at The Inquirer might cheer you up a bit after all the sad news today.
"This got The INQUIRER team talking, and we soon found ourselves reminiscing about our favourite 'things made to run on things they shouldn't run on' stories. Yeah, we know, we're an exciting bunch."

How about getting Linux to
How about getting Linux to run on Lenovo’s/BB’s exclusive Carrizo FX8800P based gaming laptop so some users can Buy the SKU and have a way to Install Linux/Mint or Linux/Steam OS. There will be a market for informing readers about more Linux Options the closer it gets to 2020. I would pay for a guide to installing Linux on the Lenovo Y700 variant with the Carrizo FX8800p and Discrete GCN GPU based gaming laptop.
Hopefully there will be better Laptop Options for the Bristol Ridge excavator refresh with DDR4 options. This SKU alone ought to be of use for testing the Vulkan API under Linux using AMD’s latest GCN integrated APU(Carrizo) and discrete mobile GCN technology together on a laptop.
Does anybody who may own the Lenovo Carrizo/FX8800p gaming laptop know if the UEFI/BIOS has an windows Secure BOOT OFF Option in the UEFI/BIOS? There are some open box returns available at a much lower price point so I may get one to test out provided the Windows secure boot can be turned OFF, and Linux(custom Build) installed.
