Do I have to bring my soap?

Why is it that long when shutdown -p -f works great?

Oh yeah you are right, sorry system76!

It just sucks how they are owned partially by Linus.

Also: vendors don’t update their shit.

The CPU in this has no pins, is just contacts on the chip. The pins are in the motherboard, like the new 7000 series Ryzen.

My favorite software acronym is PINCE, the reverse engineering tool that’s similar to Cheat Engine in Winblols, that stands for PINCE Is Not Cheat Engine.

I’d run XFCE themed with Chicago95 in this everyday.

Is your memory really as short as whatever is in the news?

Makes me feel like a caveman doing the about:config string change since like 8th grade.

But how do I find those jobs? When I search in Indeed all I get are tech companies or MSP’s. I’m currently working as a sysadmin for a Mom & Pop company and are severely underpaid.

What the fuck did I just read?

Even the wheels are ugly, I don’t know WHY tesla wanted them to look like ABS plastic.

It looks like they really wanted to go for a futuristic look. The problem is they went for something that looked futuristic in the 1990’s.

I knew I wasn’t the only one thinking this trucks look like a pickup made by Saturn in 1992.

You’d be surprised to know that a 500GB hard drive can be theoretically copied in 1 year with a 16kb/s transfer.

If you restore the BIOS to the default settings using the button on the left-most side in the BIOS, and then setup an Administrator password in the Security tab, you’d be able to verify yourself by using a Ventoy flash drive if you want.

Also I feel is important to mention that your BIOS password for that one model of XPS you have can be reset by generating a master key, so I really recommend turning on an option that I cannot remember the name of from the tip of my tongue, but it disables the “master password”, with the disadvantage that if you forget your BIOS password you’d have to replace the motherboard. If I find the name I’ll link it right here.

Edit1: The option is called Master Password Lockout.

Edit2: Is worth noting also that resetting the BIOS to default settings and erasing your secure boot keys might render your system unbootable if you use Windows BitLocker.

Ohhhh shit so that’s what they were? As a kid I used to see them as mini cup holders.

Yeah, unfortunately the default state is always to allow enrollment of keys. Think about the thousands of enterprise devices which just got a BIOS password from the IT Dept. And the only change they made to the BIOS was the PXE Boot as a first option. As long as they never disable booting from the USB devices, it will enroll the keys. HP even allows you to get to the Boot Menu and sort of a pre-BIOS menu in the newer devices still with a BIOS password and lock set up. And I have first hand witnessed way too many to count instances where that is the case.

No matter what vendor, HP, Dell or Lenovo (the 3 main ones used in the enterprise world) allow the enrollment of keys by default, with a locked BIOS by default.

Source: I’m the sysAdmin at a R2 recycler and regularly get thousands of laptops to play with.

What’s the point? If even in BIOS locked systems, any user can enroll their own keys and boot off any drive lol

For example: see ventoy documentation.
