This was supposed to be a Doin' Stuff video. The thing I was doin' took a lot less time than planned, so surprise bonus content of me being a talking head.

It started as an experiment to see if I could grow peppers from seeds from peppers I grew myself. Turns out that yes indeed, they sprouted in far more abundance than I was expecting.
I've had them outside facing the elements for a few weeks, and they seem to be hardened enough to face the real world of dirt, or at least a potting soil mix that should give them a chance to kick off their next stage of growth.
These are both habaneros and Carolina Reapers. The habaneros I can seed from packets, but I'd like to get a stock of Reaper seeds in place if I can.
This year is about learning. I started them way too late in the season to be really fruitful for a good harvest, but I have enough to experiment with, and what I learn this year I can use later.

Yes, it's quite specific information, but it's information that it took me weeks to figure out.
First, to utilize the M2.1 slot, you need an 11th-generation or above CPU. It's an LGA1200 motherboard, so 10th-gen CPUs are available that work fine with the board but don't see the M2.1 slot. It has to do with the CPU architecture and there are other videos that explain it better than I could.
Second, I had to update the BIOS. This was a bit scary, but went smoothly.
Third, the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) needs to be enabled. For sure for Win11, it may be for Win10 as well.
Fourth, Secure boot must be enabled and set to Standard.
There may be other BIOS settings that a tweaker may know far better than I, but this got me able to rebuild my system after many weeks of downtime.

Vlog. Short one. Webcam capture software I was using was evidently a trial version of the "professional". In order to use "advanced feartures" like recording to a file, I have to upgrade to the $29.95 Professional version, which I can't really justify at this point.

This is the washer that we pulled from the basement in the big appliance swap event. It had been throwing errors during the rinse-and-drain part of the cycle, and I thought it was an electrical issue.
It was still filled with water, and was too heavy to load on the appliance dolly to get on the trailer when we took stuff to the storage locker.
