“Users protesting by leaving should weigh the broader social implications of staying versus exiting.”
Hmmn, let me weigh up the broader social implications of . . . holocaust, world war, racial purification, hatred and divisiveness. Strangely, I think i can trust the gut on this one without having to do all the complex social cost benefit analysis.
LINUGNUU - Linugnuu is not using gnu’s not unix’s utilities
I’ve never heard of a divan-potato so I’d guess the divanlayer is a fair bit less likely to be a tuber.
All your base are touched by us.
Thanks! I’ll be using that from now on.
I’d expect it to work maybe 80% chance.
I feel ike I’ve had issues with grub doing that type of swap- I can’t remember the specifics, maybe hd0,x became swapped with hd1,x Or maybe i did something daft like futz with the partitions.
(assuming mint does use grub) maybe be prepared with either a grub shell cheatsheet, or just a live usb to chroot from so you can reconfigure grub.
Or just try swapping the ports over.
Only other issues I’ve had is maybe going non-uefi to uefi, and with things like “secure boot”. You can just trial and error the few combinations if you dont know.
Maybe note down any current mobo bios settings especially re: disks and boot.
edit - i fogot cpu microcode is vendor specific - you might need to swap that or at least remove the old microcode before swapping it could be irrelevant https://wiki.debian.org/Microcode
In my country if you get bottled gas supplied on contract, the cylinders usually remain the property of the supplier. They’d’ take them back and recycle, or the vendor should take them and pass them back.
Wow this author must have no experience with statistics if they didn’t question that datapoint.
Office supplies? I think it is plausible but far-fetched - depending on the office.
Quick? Likely? Easy? probably not.
I assume you have enough scissor and stuff to open it and get at the PCB.
Any good MacGyver these days has a TS-80 style iron in their pocket - but if not they might bodge together a soldering iron from any heater / kettle / hair dryer (bathroom hand dryer) or even just some electrical resistors.
Shave down any copper wire thin enough and you get a heating element that will work for a short period of time - the solder just has to melt before the iron does.
Marry the heating element to the right size thermal mass tip, to allow it t get to about 350 degrees C annd deiver enough heat to melt the blob. you also need a heat proof electrical insulator to isolate the tip. I think ceramic usually, a Kettle heater will have something like that.
MacGyver can do thermodynamic heat flow / heat capacity calculations in his head anyway so the tip design is no big deal - in reality trial and error at this step is where you run out of time and materials.
Alternatively, maybe hack the laser printer, it’s probably not hot enought ootb, but if you can manually cause the laser to dwell until the solder melts it might build up enough heat? - it only needs to work for four blobs of solder anyway.
Once you have the heat source sorted out, you need flux to reflow the old solder that’s on the pads. I think vaseline / petroleum jelly will work in a pinch. Some office worker, or even first aid kit might have that as lip balm or something. The HQ of Deus Ex Machina Ltd. has a pine tree in the atrium with some rosin seeping out of the bark.
Anyway, with the heat and flux sorted you just clip the tail off a usb mouse and solder the wires on to the PCB .
