Some BIOSes have a built-in update function that can update from a BIOS file stored on a connected flash drive.

Doesn’t matter which team nominated him. A spook is a spook, anything they touch is gonna get spookified (not that any product from Silicon Valley isn’t already a fancy surveillance and propaganda system).

Good that those things are taught in some places. I can only speak from my own experience in high school - we were required to have laptops for school but were never taught how to be safe online.

Some people put their whole lives on the internet and never once stop to think if it’s a good idea. Then again, online safety and security are never taught or communicated, at least in the west, maybe by design.

Ok so they’re not allowed to use Azure OpenAI, but there’s certainly a secret Microsoft department called Thin-Blue-Line ClosedAI which provides support to cops using AI for facial recognition and pre-crime.

So they’ll just start shoveling wood into coal power plants in 2030 and unfurl the “Mission Accomplished” banner.

Digital surveillance is omnipresent in the west. Apparently nobody cares.

Still no worse than the worst of the male grifters.

Full disclosure, I’m not a metalhead by any means, and Metallica isn’t always considered pure metal, but this one hits just right.

Republicans aren’t pro-Russia. Some just think war against Iran or China is a higher priority.

The French had a pretty good way of shutting up insufferable rich asshats.

All countries will confiscate illegally obtained income. Want to work cross-border? Do it with the proper visas, permissions, tax reporting, residencies, etc. There’s no story here, just more China hate to help beat the drums of war.

Then the best way would be to remove the factory lube using a solvent, or don’t buy pre-lubed switches to begin with. Just rinsing with water won’t remove any lubricant.

Why are you re-lubricating lubed switches? If you are redoing the lube, are you using a solvent to remove the previous application? What sorts of problems are you having?

I just got into custom boards and I’ve had Strawberries for two months now. They’ve been perfect. I can’t complain about the factory applied lube.

All of these issues can be mitigated to the point where they’re unproblematic, they just generally won’t be or are skipped because it’s deemed unprofitable. It’s also funny seeing yet another sad nuclear hit piece from a gas lobbyist.
