  • Firmware shouldn’t care what OS the CPU is running as it’s doing its own thing, running on an embedded processor of some sort on the device.

    Though it can be used to lock out unapproved software if it needs an encryption key or relies on an undocumented interface they only told their windows driver writers about.

    So I’m not saying firmware can’t be used to lock linux out from being able to use certain hardware, just don’t believe them if they try to play it off as they would need to write a special linux version of the firmware to make it happen; it’s a deliberate lockout either via encryption or by making the information needed to implement it proprietary.

    Though at least the latter case could be reverse engineered, especially if you can sniff the bus traffic.

    There’s no point in talking down to LLMs because they aren’t an entity that feels anything, and your aggressive words are just going to make it predict a response with those in the context. Polite requests get the best responses from humans so LLMs will be similar, not because they have feelings but because their training data likely includes both polite and aggressive communication and you’ll probably get better responses in the polite context.



  • All the lead didn’t help. And the playing with mercury in school. Actually, there was lead involved there, too, as I remember my dad telling me about how they’d put a piece of lead in their cup of mercury to see that it floated.

    Also had a science teacher clarify that it was mercury oxide that made playing with mercury so dangerous, with the anecdote of knowing someone who tried to commit suicide by drinking a large amount of mercury, but then only ended up with the shits (and probably a few less IQ points from the mercury oxide vapours he would have inhaled while drinking it).

    Edit: oh, also the wars probably helped age people faster and no idea when this was filmed but he could have fought in either war and started acting after.



  • That quick temperature change sounds like a double edged sword to me, as a thicker base means it can hold its temperature as you add cold/wet food, which might result in steaming food instead of frying/sautéing.

    On that note, temperature control also helps making cleaning easier. If your oil is heated before you add the food, the food will tend to not stick as much (though there’s a bunch of other factors at play, so I still get use out of my scouring pad).







  • This is another one of the windows negatives. There’s no real standard for tools that debloat or remove the MS malware and decent chance that you end up getting more malware in the process (that might even do what it says it does in addition to installing who knows what, so it’s not even immediately obvious that it might be a good idea to go back to the “wipe storage and install OS” step. Thing could even revert some of the settings later on to encourage users running an updated version of the script (not that I think most would bat an eye at their “OS optimization script” being a thing that continuously runs and auto-updates) and it wouldn’t even be unexpected windows behavior considering how passively hostile they already are with users trying to reduce their stupid shit in windows.



  • Yeah, but does that site differentiate between speeding and parking tickets? In my area you can rack up any amount of parking fines and the most it’ll do is you might need to pay them off before you can renew.

    But yeah, you get points for speeding past a certain amount over the limit, running lights, and other violations that concern the way you move (on public roads, parking lots are free for alls, though a DUI is a DUI even on private property).
