Don’t have a cow, man.

Someone should create CoPirate for Linux, that saves a DRM-free local copy of everyone else’s data that goes through your machine. For training purposes, of course.

It splices into the live power cord and supplies the same voltage in parallel. When the connection is verified good, the PC is powered from battery and can be unplugged from the wall.

I have seen the use of such a device by gov’t agencies; basically a large UPS that clips onto the AC plug’s prongs so that a running server or desktop PC can be confiscated without power being interrupted.

If you are running Android Open Source Project without Google Play Services, Google has no control. However, manufacturers could be pressured into locking bootloaders and then no one gets AOSP or GrapheneOS at all.

I run a GTX 980 Ti; Maxwell architecture is still supported for three years. Older than that: Kepler support ended last year and Fermi support ended in 2023, and they won’t play nice with kernels released since then.

My Motorola has this by default, buried in Settings > Security > More security settings > Network protection.

AFAIK, you need to use seperate drives and install the OSes in such a way that each drive has its own EFI partition. (Installing with the other drive disconnected is the easy way.) Then only use your UEFI boot selection menu to choose which drive to boot from.

I had a boomer drop off a laptop after Win7 got updated to 8. Post-it note read: “I’m used to Windows with the “e”. Is Windows even on here?”

Use Reader View in Firefox. I never accepted the cookies. 😉

Phonetically, 'za should be short for lasagne, and 'sa for pizza… or people can just say the damn words.

Whatever, I guess. Peeps gon’ slang slang, for real, for real. 🤦‍♂️

I got to meet Legaia’s creator Hidenori Shibao. He also created Lennus (“Paladin’s Quest” that I enjoyed on SNES in my youth) and its sequel.

The company that made my TV is engaged in copyright infringement, you say? Transmitting copyrighted images over the Internet for profit?

Huh.

You have packages held.

Commodore 64. My father traveled for business and eventually brought home an SX-64 that I still have! Castles of Dr. Creep! 😁

Grandparents had a Visual Commuter with no LCD.

Grade school had a few TI-99/4As and one Apple //e, until the computer lab was installed with IIgses served by a Mac.

Castle Adventure

I played this on a Visual Commuter (with no LCD?). Amber monitor with nice long phosphor persistence. My grandmother loved to point out the typos… “You are in a Cooridor.”

I saw one Microsoft help page in which the customer service agent recommended to cut power to the PC during the Windows 8 or 10 boot process, three times! After three failed boots, newer Windows will bring up the UEFI boot options dialog.

My Sharp PC-7000 has a Setup key on the keyboard.

Sometimes this works. Sometimes it makes the PC speaker beep for two minutes straight while it slowly makes its way through the keyboard buffer.
