It's simply a plan for "Christian" fascism.

A verse from Miracles, implying that magnets are miraculous: Water, fire, air, and earth / Fuckin' magnets, how do they work?

Another, often quoted from the same track: I don't wanna talk to no scientists / Y'all fuckers be lying, and getting me pissed

Thanks for the heads-up!

Do you think we are looking at UEFI or Intel ME rootkit here?

I had an interesting case of a five-year-old laptop that I know they had previously used Ventoy on. After repairing the hardware and clean Win10 install, the BIOS update software (Windows executable) reported that the BIOS update was not necessary, even though it shows as several versions behind what's available on HP's website.

My expertise is mainly in hardware It's my understanding that with UEFI, we can't simply dump the BIOS with something like an SPI programmer and compare to a fresh BIOS image (which I don't have either because it's now rolled into a proprietary Win exe from HP anyway).

I caught my son using Linux PC and Android tablet at the same time... he was just using the microphone in Gboard to learn to spell out what he wanted to put on his signs in Minecraft Java.

True story: Just the other day, I saw kids dancing to "I put my hand upon your hip, when I dip, you dip, we dip". That took me back 😅

Not many of us deserve any of this bullshit.

I wonder if this is similar to when weev & Goatse Security "hacked" AT&T by discovering that their website for managing iPad accounts was so poorly designed that you could just change the account number in the website's URL to access other people's accounts.

 

I sent in two phones for an offered $1600 total promotional bill credits.

One phone rejected, for the reason: "won't power on". I videoed myself opening the box on the returned phone, pressing the power button, and turning the phone on, booting into Pixel setup.

The other, Spectrum is trying to give me $200 credit for.

I spent hours on the phone with support from both of these scam companies. Do not deal with either of them, you have been warned.

 

The only distro I can find that successfully configures a functioning bootable GRUB on this (bastard) machine is Nobara, which looks very cool but is way too heavy! Some things are glitchy; attempting tab completion seems to freeze Konsole for ~5 seconds and does not complete the command as expected. We're working with an Intel Atom [email protected] and 2GB RAM here.

How can a noob figure out what it's doing differently so I can apply that to Linux Mint Debian Edition or Crunchbang Plus Plus?

The weird thing is that once the system is installed, it does not seem to have what I think are the required packages for GRUB to be set up correctly with this type of UEFI.

nextbook@nextbook:~$ sudo grub2-install /dev/mmcblk

grub2-install: error: /usr/lib/grub/i386-efi/modinfo.sh doesn't exist. Please specify --target or --directory.
