Yes, among the basic check with hexedit or strings as suggested below. When you are flashing a bios as the other poster mentioned, you want to be sure you have the right file and you will be able to restore it. About SOIC8 clips, if you can

And he has blood on his hands. One of the actors committed suicide. There should have been some prosecution: not of the film maker, but on those who abused their power to harass people to the point of suicide.

Remember to always read at least twice, then compare the md5s before flashing Many SOIC8 clips can give an intermittent/bad connection. You will only realize it when you try to restore and ... oops!

Users should clamor for a feature that automatically delete emails with subject= password after say a week. In theory the links are only valid for a few hours. In practice I don't trust that. Even then, it's not about clamoring,

Here is another nudge: how easily can you write a rule to delete from gmail inbox after say X days? (same question for outlook.com, icloud.com etc) There are ways for technical users, but it nudges users to leave all the juicy data to the c

The jetson nano is an interesting device: with Windows 10 on ARM and Parsec, it could provide a great terminal server. I'm not aware of any remote desktop supporting H265 or VP9 encoding on Linux, and offering a matching low latency (c

You should read about the "walk out of jail" cards that are made for each member, to be distributed to family members. There's a thriving secondary market for that.

Decreasing marginal utility of money is just a theory, and there are many flaws in the theory - including measuring happiness with a discrete scale of questionable boundaries (5=very happy, etc.), considering self administered questions at

If we were talking about CO2, I'd agree with you. But we are talking about parking spaces, and production of trash within a country.

It sounds obscene to me too. A car uses a parking spot. The spot is no longer available for someone else- regardless of your income. Incomes is orthogonal to the problem. Flat taxes are the fairest taxes. Take trash taxes for example: you p

That seems correct. I have never understood the propose of such speculative chatting. Maybe the conversion was not about achieving or improving a task, but idle talk for social purposes?

I fully agree with your analysis -- the whole of it, including our wrong focus as hackers. And you're right about Ballmer: he made risky moves that are now paying quite well.

Regarding #1, eventually I expect Microsoft to release their own Linux distribution and keep Windows as a GUI. I would not be surprised if their failed project Astoria was reused to run android apps on that.

They are small things, but they could also be good signals- a bit like canaries in the mine. To say that differently, every story about Google or Facebook is usually some horrible thing. I would not touch their product with a 10 foot pole.

A big resurgence: They make an operating system that supports Linux with just a few clicks. They make hardware devices that can also natively run Linux very well, for when I need it. It feels like Apple when OSX was introduced, only better.

It's sad. I try to keep to technical issues, but some of the things I read are just not acceptable. We all have different opinion, and I respect that, but when some people think they deserve some special privileges, I disagree.

It's not just about being able to afford basic living conditions. If these people can't get enough human contact, we failed them. There's no reason we shouldn't be able to create meaningful interactions for the elderly.
