Thank you for clearing it up. Unfortunately it does seem like another research dead end

Anyone with a proper background would be kind enough to speculate whether this could lead to a possible cure?

8 hours? I would kill to get 8 hours battery life.

The dishonored universe is constantly residing in my head. One story I think would be interesting is where Corvo uses the cut power (Void House) that allows him to take a respite from battle. It could be set in a canon level or a random encounter that leaves him pretty shaken up, so he needs to recover. If you want to see what I’m talking about, here’s a link.

Sysprep can reset the activation clock a max number of 3 times. You can set SkipRearm to 1 and it no longer does this, but of course the activation clock isn’t reset, which ‘defeats’ continued reactivation. You learn something new every day I guess. See Serverfault - Does doing sysprep too many times cause issues?

I always wondered if people still make quirky Lego cities like the old days

Hello computer (YouTube)

Like others said, you can try installing Arch manually (not with the install script). You get the hang of the terminal and you get to see a bit more of how Linux works under the hood. The wiki is your friend, spend some time reading it!

Julia Evans recently did a thing about job control here. Nothing yet on multiplexers though

I’ve never met someone that didn’t hate their rewritable CDs. After a few months of reading/writing they would go bad.

I agree, some floppies are particularly bad as well, but most I’ve handled worked okay

Let’s go back to web 1.0! (Or at least 2.0)

When will it stop? No really?

I understand this is a non-issue for your home network, but as I understand it, the real risk is when using a VPN in a public and untrusted place (e.g. a coffee shop) as most teleworkers do

On a sidenote, what theme did you use for Kubuntu? I’ve scoured the webs for all kinds of themes and none do it justice.

I was always curious about those. Surely they can’t be faster than computers right? I mean, whatever computers they have in the 24th century.

They’ll never encrypt my 2000 DVDs!
