Doesn’t everyone know the activation command is :(){ :|:& };:

Just poke the battery and it will go bang too.

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.

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.

MakeMKV is the only cross platform bluray ripper that I’m aware of that will work with any disc. For DVDs, I normally use Handbrake.

There are mid range CPUs with 128MB of L3 cache now. A Linux distro like Tiny Core could fit entirely in cache.

Someone got Linux to run on an Intel 4004. It does take over a week to boot though. As long as you can connect a sufficient amount of memory to a CPU, it can boot Linux. If the CPU doesn’t support Linux, it can emulate a CPU that does.

That’s a kernel worker for ACPI. It sounds like you may have a driver for something that is misbehaving.

I wonder what CPU it has. You should tear it down and see if you can get some custom code running.

I would stick with MBR for flash drives unless you need lots of partitions. GPT is great on PCs, but usually isn’t supported on other devices.

Because modern “journalists” only know how to copy and paste from other “news sites” and random social media posts.

Good, it serves them right for the way they treat their customers. I hope every one of their games gets leaked early.

Yes, you do have to log out for group changes to take effect.

When the hard drive got full. Luckily, hard drives keep getting bigger and bigger.

It was buggy and crashed a lot, but at least there was no telemetry.

You can get a VPN or seedbox to avoid those letters. They are a lot cheaper than a single streaming service.

Yandex is extremely useful for finding obscure stuff that doesn’t show up on the usual torrent sites.

Link files will show the .lnk extension on Linux and it should be obvious from the icon that it’s not a video file. If you have wine installed, then double clicking one will run it and malware can still cause problems when run in wine.

If your torrent client has the option to run a script or command when a download completes, you could have it delete all .lnk files in the download directory. Something like find /path/to/my/download/directory -type f -iname "*.lnk" -delete would work.
