   Opensource firmware? Does it mean this machine has the potential of having amazing battery life since it can be fully programmed? I am talking as close to MacBook Pro level (not accounting for arm vs intel/amd difference).

    I had friends who recorder the stream on VHS, thinking they could decoded it later by borrowing a decoder. Reportedly, it did not work.

    You know, accidents happen. If you were to trip over the carpet and that venerable PC falls in the dumpster.

    What error message did you get? Perhaps you ran it with PowerShell (this is a Cmd script)?

    This is one of my all-time favorite page. Zero effort in presentation but the pure gold content proves that the fluff does not matter the slighest.

    I wrote three books with LateX. I hate this language with the intensity of a thousand suns. I hope Typst will be able to take over.
