Not sure why you were down voted. The test only showed removing the chip disabled the camera. The chip BCM15700A2 is a WLAN/Bluetooth chip used on Intel 8260 cards and lots of Dell…

Fellow grey neckbeard here, I resisted vm's at first. I seriously resisted the idea of the cloud. I resisted Devops and Agile. I looked curiously at containers as possibly not just…

In Devops ops write infrastructure as code. I'm an old school bash perl sysadmin. Devops with Agile is a cultural shift and has transformed the last 4 companies I've worked at. Two…
