Surely one could use the same exploit to restore the original boot code as the malware used to corrupt it

If you are working in a different number system with other people ten loses its unique meaning just like any word that has another technical meaning.

In code 0x10 is hex 10 (what you'd call sixteen), but in spoken technical English you don't need to pronounce the 0x

I don't see the need to bring values into this, this is about the naming of number systems. We really have no more claim to ten being this many (..........) than hexadecimal people have to claim ten has this many (................)

As in Margaret Thatcher was an Englishman?

They need an enclosure

Iodine in salt is a health measure, people were not getting enough iodine, so they added it to the salt

But that's not going to degrade.

That says you cannot replace individual broken cells in a Tesla pack. That doesn't say you can't replace the pack

Aren't all the cells worn in a ten year old battery?

My car wouldn't have done that. Had I fallen unconscious it would either follow the road or stop

But that's also not because it's electric.

Every base has ten, but it's made of two digits

Binary 0, 1, 10 Ternary 0, 1, 2, 10 ... Decimal 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 Hex 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, F, 10

Each has the right count of digits for its base before you go two-digit - binary has two (0, 1), etc

I don't know, 7 is a bit of a cannibal. π just is a little in the way

It was on a Russian Antarctic base, why would international waters be a consideration?

The best thing to do with a tarball is to bzip it

My government agency when hiring all the roles in an IT team put those sort of stupid ranges in the headline, but if you drill down to a specific role you see the actual range

So about 1d8 con damage instantly then 1d2 con daily.

Melee area effect weapons. There's a wand of fireball in Balders Gate 3 that is bent and has melee range. This is like that, but the fire is only analogous to fire and the effect lasts longer and does damage slower

I suffered negative side effects as if it were a real meme, and a bad meme at the same time

I had to refrain from voting

No, you could be doomed both ways, or safe both ways, or there may be more or fewer than two doors, more or fewer than two brothers, they may not be brothers, maybe none of them are truthful etc

When your conversation partner is chaotic/* you can't trust what they say

@AtariDump@lemmy.world is a nice guy (/girl/whatever) but about as sharp as a sack of wet mice when it comes to spotting users' instances

(You were replying to psud@aussie.zone, not at lemmy.world, though both are me)

Also it's for loading web pages that don't behave well otherwise

People also look at it as an example of how identifiable people are right now.

On pixel phones the Android assistant can filter calls for you

It's surprising when people follow the machine's instructions and state who they are and why they are calling. It's not a menu system, but it gets maybe the best 30% of the effect

Ok, let's use grain finished beef as an example. The carbon is still from a renewable source, it'll be recaptured when the grain regrows

• Cars
• Fossil fuels
• Combine harvesters (especially if you're a small creature)

However, I would say when talking about Linux specifically, there is a high chance that people talking about stuff being broken are people breaking stuff.

I'm sure you're right. It used to be complicated to set up printers, bluetooth, audio, but even then once set up they were fine. Now all those and just about anything else you need to manage on the machine has an easy GUI

My wife's computer runs Linux and she's never had to use a terminal (she's not a techie type)

For the UDP broadcast, you should be able to catch and change them with simple firewall rules, you'd catch packets with a destination address of the broadcast address and send them to a chain that rewrites the destination

I haven't yet been convinced that giving up meat can help. Specifically, I haven't seen the question of what happens to the grazing land.

If it is left to burn, the carbon it contains cycles grass ➡️ fire ➡️ CO2, particles ➡️ grass, etc

If it's left to rot it's grass ➡️ methane, CO2 ➡️ grass

If it is rewilded the carbon cycles grass ➡️ meat, methane ➡️ predators, etc

If left as it is it's the same, but with us in place of the predators.

I really feel like there is no way of preventing the carbon emissions of grasslands, but at least if they're making meat for us we can work on engineering a way out of the methane release, and people are working on that

And at worst it's not fossil carbon, it's renewable, the carbon emitted is captured again when the grass regrows

There's carbon in the farm equipment, but that's the same in all farming

Alt+F4

There is nothing you can't uninstall on Linux. Linux distros, let alone desktop environments, really can't qualify as bloat

There are even enough mainstream distros to let you choose one that meets your needs with little or nothing you need to trim

Lots of people will spend a few hours then several tens of minutes monthly or so finding out how and then disabling the ads after each update

Win+L to immediately lock a windows machine. You can get the logout dialogue with alt+F4

Now that Linux can run pretty much all the games I play on the PC I don't think I'm going to have much use for windows at home anymore

I use it and find it's the fastest way to type on glass

It appears to work by matching the path your finger traces to likely words, it also works if you're slightly off the letters

The biggest problems are errors like "if" and "of" that start right next to each other and finish the same, it also capitalises anything that is also a name and you need to select the uncapitalised version from the suggestions row

So throw an error at runtime on that macro, most workbooks aren't the target of a macro

Fine for me too

The convex ones are concave on the other side. The straight piece is generally called "the straight piece"

So organise.

They said ~/

I don't think there's any protection for the current user's home directory

That's a bit much, perhaps though they should use a real mode OS

Yeah, there's a Debian implementation of GNU/hurd. Debian recommend you run it in a VM

The Linux kernel (the part that gives Linux the name) is antithetical to Linux philosophy? I could understand it being contrary to GNU philosophy
