Yeah I was going to say that the presence of a PS/2 port almost certainly means it has a SuperI/O chip wired up. You wouldn't be able to shutdown the PC without the LPC bus talking to the SuperI/O. MSI just didn't w

I wonder if the person you talked to actually knew what they were talking about. Swappa explains what an unlocked device means in their FAQ and a bootloader is not mentioned. https://swappa.com/faq/answer/unlocked-

I doubt that. Home video recording, while a new thing in 1981, was not substantially different from making personal mixtapes on tape from radio or vinyl records which had been popular for decades. My grandfather had dozens of 4 track mixtap

Either they are alcoholics who can't control themselves or simply just think they are still under control of their ability to drive despite being impaired. Many people just don't know what 0.08 BAC feels like. In college, I got th

Having to blow while you're already driving is supposed to be a feature. It's to dissuade people from successfully turning on their car, immediately drinking, and then driving.

I wonder how much money is wasted just transmitting ads over the internet. Like I get websites are getting paid for displaying them but imagine how much cheaper things would be if ads weren't jacking up demands for bandwidth.

Less guardrails, more like highway lane dividers. The only thing stopping you from crossing a yellow divided line is that someone once told you not to.

Despite my employer's best efforts to train everyone on cyber security basics, people still do dumb stuff and click on things they shouldn't. It's the reason why my laptop needs to run like 5 different security applications a

There's a big difference between a real human DJ, especially one at a live event that can read the audience, versus what is essentially Spotify shuffle with some LLM voice in-between songs. It knows the song coming up next so it can sp

Use your brain and summarize the article yourself if it's of such great importance. Why should I care to read it if you can't be bothered to actually write it?

A tangent, but I've always wondered what is the most efficient way to order the drop-down menus for year, make and model. Assuming your a retailer for hard to find car parts, e.g. rockauto, how do you order those menus such that someon

You can literally mail an envelope of cash to them and they'll credit your account. Probably the best way to remain anonymous. At worst, they'll have the zip code from where it was mailed from and potential fingerprints. But since

I wonder if the FBI knew it was going to be a pain in the ass asking for actual account access from the Swiss so they asked for financial records instead. Terrorism charges look pretty serious (regardless of how legitimate they are) so I&#x

Simple solution: put your server inside of a cabinet or enclosure that immediately powers it off if opened with a hidden micro switch. Additionally, write a little udev rule to immediately power off if any new USB device is connected or Eth

Must is a strict requirement, no flexibility. Shall is a recommendation or a duty, you should do it. You must put gas in the car to drive it. You shall get an oil change every 6000 miles.

Over the last 10 years, state medical boards have dramatically cut back on opioid prescriptions (which happens to correlate with the rise of fentanyl use). Even those with chronic pain with a history of prescription were cut back. It's

It's great for transactions where moving a large amount of money would be impossible due to KYC laws and smuggling the cash even more so. As long as you can find someone willing to sell you bitcoin and someone else willing to accept it

Receving a full body x-ray every day just for a week would exceed the yearly federal occupational dose for radiation workers. You would add an additional 26% lifetime chance of getting cancer doing this for a year. The yearly limit for rad
