It's simply a plan for "Christian" fascism.

Can anyone help me figure out what Step 3 is?

Ventoy Update in c/opensource@programming.dev
[–] f4f4f4f4f4f4f4f4@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Thanks for the heads-up!

Do you think we are looking at UEFI or Intel ME rootkit here?

I had an interesting case of a five-year-old laptop that I know they had previously used Ventoy on. After repairing the hardware and clean Win10 install, the BIOS update software (Windows executable) reported that the BIOS update was not necessary, even though it shows as several versions behind what's available on HP's website.

My expertise is mainly in hardware It's my understanding that with UEFI, we can't simply dump the BIOS with something like an SPI programmer and compare to a fresh BIOS image (which I don't have either because it's now rolled into a proprietary Win exe from HP anyway).

"We" do exert some control over the weather, in the long term.

She just admitted to believing in climate change.

Lots of arcade games and other amusement machines made in the last twenty years run on desktop Linux.

Incredible Technologies games, Raw Thrills/Play Mechanix Big Buck Hunter Pro, Arachnid dartboards, and TouchTunes jukeboxes off the top of my head.

Nobara? More like Nobody! (sopuli.xyz)
 

Just felt like posting here since no one else will! Don't tell me to go to Discord... The UI enrages me like no other.

I'm newish, started with Nobara 39, did a fresh install of 40 after upgrade had dependency problems with wine-staging64 and one other (k5s-something? Sorry). I want to like this distro... Some observations:

The live environment is allowed to suspend the PC during the install process!

Discover Software Center seems to be gone and I can't install it; I get a notification: "Plasma Workspace / Could not read file appstream://org.kde.discover.desktop."

There is Nobara Package Manager, a huge list with checkboxes down the left that need to be individually clicked; right-click and Select all doesn't do anything.

I still (sometimes) get Plasma graphical glitches on resuming from suspend. NVIDIA!

My son's ancient PC runs 39 beautifully, but 40 lags every five seconds even just sitting idle at the desktop.

Games are running great and I love the ease of installing Steam and flipping the compatibility switch, and instantly having Proton-GE available.

I wanted to get Sunshine running for Moonlight, but I guess it has major problems with Wayland (not Fedora's/Nobara's fault).

Review: The 2024 Motorola Razr+ will not give up its throne in c/android@lemdro.id
[–] f4f4f4f4f4f4f4f4@sopuli.xyz 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

My bad. Well, obviously Motorola has 14 configured and available for this device, so I don't know what to tell you.

Luckily, my gov't now forces providers to un-network-lock devices after a certain waiting period (60 days?), and the bootloader seems to be unlockable! I'm not feeling like a slave, just paying more for the phone than what I signed up for.

Edit: I'll always trust Motorola over, say, Samsung, where the Galaxy S-whatever (US version) and the same name device (International version) even have a completely different processor!

I have a Verizon Razr+ 2023 (on an MVNO), and it's now running Android 14.

Ask your service provider why they are holding back updates.

Edit: 14 fixed one of my annoying issues with this phone; the outer screen did not play nice with certain keyboards (I like Unexpected Keyboard). Now you can choose different keyboards for each screen.

Spectrum Mobile makes offers that they won't honor. Phone trade-ins through Assurant are a bait-and-switch scam. AMA (sopuli.xyz)
 

I sent in two phones for an offered $1600 total promotional bill credits.

One phone rejected, for the reason: "won't power on". I videoed myself opening the box on the returned phone, pressing the power button, and turning the phone on, booting into Pixel setup.

The other, Spectrum is trying to give me $200 credit for.

I spent hours on the phone with support from both of these scam companies. Do not deal with either of them, you have been warned.

GRUB on 32-bit UEFI (Nextbook 2-in-1) (sopuli.xyz)
 

The only distro I can find that successfully configures a functioning bootable GRUB on this (bastard) machine is Nobara, which looks very cool but is way too heavy! Some things are glitchy; attempting tab completion seems to freeze Konsole for ~5 seconds and does not complete the command as expected. We're working with an Intel Atom Z3735F@1.33GHz and 2GB RAM here.

How can a noob figure out what it's doing differently so I can apply that to Linux Mint Debian Edition or Crunchbang Plus Plus?

The weird thing is that once the system is installed, it does not seem to have what I think are the required packages for GRUB to be set up correctly with this type of UEFI.

nextbook@nextbook:~$ sudo grub2-install /dev/mmcblk

grub2-install: error: /usr/lib/grub/i386-efi/modinfo.sh doesn't exist. Please specify --target or --directory.
