    No, distros uses a shim binary that is less likely to need updates. If that shim needs an update (only signed with the new key) then we get into a situation where old machines will…

    K380 is the non-stand version. It got me into low-profile keyboards. Even spent a while on my desk full time. Other pluses: rearrangeable keys (dvorak), runs on AAA batteries. The …

    I played with a negative ion generator at my desk, and it was great at knocking out my 1440p monitor signal, but the 1080p seemed more resilient. Since then I got a 4K display, and…

    Bubble envelopes are all wrong? Flipped bubbles would make it harder to slide objects in and out of the envelope, but they would reduce movement inside the envelope. The difference…

    Tesla sales by month were above 58,000 for the past 2 years except last February 2025 (30,688). February 2026 they sold 58,600. The only thing I could take away is that Tesla had a…

    I got a IPX in 2022 and restored it. I was a bit lucky and mine was an ex-IBM unit that came with the Weitek SPARC POWER μP processor (80 MHz) upgrade. It makes for a pretty good p…

    Altitude can be a huge limiting factor. I biked from Texas to Oregon, and the first days in the Rockies were brutal. It seemed I could barely travel 50 feet up hill without taking …

    This is pretty much what Lutris does. I'm using it with already downloaded GOG installers, and Lutris' crowd-sourced install scripts. It looks like they do account integration, so …

    Razer isn't mentioned, but I know they're using Airoha AB1571DN in Blackshark V3 Pro transmitter. Not sure what is on the headset end. Don't see any mentions on their last firmware…

    We are shifting the goalposts here. Campaign donations are not her bank account. Who is going to "take it away" in this scenario? We're not talking about a 'tax the rich' scenario …

    It's a hell of lot better than your estimate of "look at her bank account". Here's something a little more substantiated. In February 2025 she claimed her wealth is under a half mi…

    Did you take a look at her bank account? It seems like she's not even a millionaire yet. Some reports are putting her net worth at $49,000 or $125,000. Where are the non-mammon mou…

    There is a Gotek floppy emulator hardware, about $50 USD. A USB floppy drive will be cheaper, maybe $20. I think the T1100 has standard 34-pin IDC connector, but Plus variant uses …

    Debian still has security fixes, and point releases. unattended-upgrades is the package that automates their install. I think you can also do unattended release upgrades by using t…

    Why did they list all his watches? Would they have been seized already, or are these things he posted about online?
