Can that be done safely? As I understood it, albeit years ago, you needed certain MS services/drivers for thermal & battery management unavailable in Win 7 or Linux. The hardware & build of the early Surface Tablets was solid(s

Fascinating story, even more amazing nobody died when you realize barges were sucked down into it and the ocean water ran miles(?) inland to fill the void. Saw this documentary on TV a decade or so ago. https://www.youtube.com&#x
