Not to mention that NBC not showing the proper flag for Taiwan as they reached third place overall gold medals. I’ve got better things to do than to watch state-sponsored selective narratives.

I still have nightmarish problem tracking Intel microcode in Linux Distro due to: 1. Overlapping but separate versioning numbering of firmware blobs, Intel package version, and distro-specific package version. 2. Tracking binary blobs and d
