It seems that the clevo boot guard, and possibly other signing keys have been shared regularly on their official site, which should allow for coreboot/dasharo/system76 ports to wor…

Gamestop isn't really just games anymore; even if they closed all brick and mortar shops and sold nothing they'd still be green on paper because of the liquid assets they hold. The…

You didn't really cover any fundamentals here. The business itself is changing and the investors generally are buying into Ryan Cohen, not Gamestop at face value, "MOASS" or not. T…

You are incorrect. Please take a look at the default preferences that they ship, as they are a large and important part of it. Literally on the front page: https://librewolf.net Yo…

Depends on who the upstream provider is. Having a pihole or opnsense with dnscrypt and/or unbound setup is best.

Here's your solution https://librewolf.net/ Keeps version parity but removes all the nastiness with a lot of other beneficial config changes...and the ability to further customize …

The wait time is what kept me from ordering one, actually. I love everything they're doing but don't want to get stuck like I did when I bought into the kickstarter for the purism …

I realize all this... But my HP Spectre died (I know, don't laugh) - 8th gen i7. It was...fine...I almost finished porting coreboot but the EC init I never could get working right.…

I assume you've seen those strange retrofit motherboards from China? I forget the name. I know one a few years ago got posted here after the owner ported Coreboot to it.

Your model makes sense, at least for situations like yours... I got the serval because it includes a 4070 8gb...so graphics and battery life aren't really a concern to me...I usual…

In college, sure - they actually started us on C/C++ and then had us work in ASM for discrete math... But in middle and high school now I believe they teach...whatever the teacher …

Unless you use pyc it's only as compiled if you count php as compiled. Just in time bytecode compilation does not a compiled language make.

I went "mobile workstation" this time around and so I have sockets again, migrating from a desktop and my dead ultrabook... I can live with having ~1hr battery life (which I can pu…

In addition the starlabs machines and tuxedo machines are ridiculous in terms of quality, even going as far as using cherry switches on their keyboards now...in the models well bey…

Makes perfect sense for your situation. In my case it is more...portable power, without a lot of concern on efficiency because I'm always plugged in. I guess it depends on prioriti…

Lenovo and quality aren't two words I associate together anymore. The IBM thinkpads were great, I have a pile of them in my storage. In fact I have both some Lenovo and IBM branded…

As much as I dislike the intel/amd "two party" thing we have now, why AMD when intel is the devil we know? I realize performance and power and heat can be the concern but ultimatel…

I really wish schools would teach compiled languages before scripting languages.

Why not one of the coreboot/openec powered machines from System76? Purism kinda...sucks lately, but there's also Tuxedo computers, the KDE laptop, and others as well... There's als…

This took me 4-5 hours which is longer than writing myself would have taken, however I did this as an experiment. I fed the specs into ChatGPT, and went back and forth with it unti…

The dealership itself, a mainline GM dealer owned by Berkshire-Hathaway.

Cross posting from the other thread: I ended up calling and having OnStar cancel my "trial" in my 2018 era truck in 2019, to the point I instructed them to disable the OnStar light…

Even if it doesn't have all that, if you finance most vehicles they will install a poorly hidden cell tracker that usually draws power from the OBD2 port. It is legally problematic…
