Doesn’t everyone know the activation command is :(){ :|:& };:

Just poke the battery and it will go bang too.

Because that would take a long time if you deleted a large file in another partition or drive. You could also end up not having enough space to move the file to trash and if the trash directory is on an SSD, it would add a lot of unnecessary wear to it.

Connecting the clip backwards will likely kill the flash chip. As long as it didn’t kill anything else, you can just replace the chip and flash a new image to it.

AMD has the Platform Security Processor. While it supposedly doesn’t have network access, it’s still a block box with full access to all memory.

Be absolutely sure that you get the source and destination drives correct. If you get them backwards, it will nuke your data. There is no confirmations, dd will start as soon as you press enter.

For a dual port card, you will want an 8 lane PCIe 3.0 slot connected to the CPU. Almost any desktop CPU will have enough lanes since you won’t be using a graphics card. You can get by with a 4 lane slot, but you won’t be able to max out both ports bidirectionally at the same time.

MakeMKV is the only cross platform bluray ripper that I’m aware of that will work with any disc. For DVDs, I normally use Handbrake.

There are mid range CPUs with 128MB of L3 cache now. A Linux distro like Tiny Core could fit entirely in cache.

Someone got Linux to run on an Intel 4004. It does take over a week to boot though. As long as you can connect a sufficient amount of memory to a CPU, it can boot Linux. If the CPU doesn’t support Linux, it can emulate a CPU that does.

I wonder how many issues rewriting everything in another language will create?

In Thunderbird you can move the emails to a local folder and they will be fully downloaded.

That’s a kernel worker for ACPI. It sounds like you may have a driver for something that is misbehaving.

I wonder what CPU it has. You should tear it down and see if you can get some custom code running.

I would stick with MBR for flash drives unless you need lots of partitions. GPT is great on PCs, but usually isn’t supported on other devices.

Because modern “journalists” only know how to copy and paste from other “news sites” and random social media posts.

Good, it serves them right for the way they treat their customers. I hope every one of their games gets leaked early.

Yes, you do have to log out for group changes to take effect.

When the hard drive got full. Luckily, hard drives keep getting bigger and bigger.

It was buggy and crashed a lot, but at least there was no telemetry.
