It’s easy to create artificial maintenance costs there as needed.
That reminds me of the bricked polish trains, not only did they create artificial maintenance cost, they also tried to ensure that only they (and not their competitors) would be able to do that maintenance (unflipping the kill-switch)
It should be treated with "utmost importance", not with utmost importance. That ending is quite subversive!
Considering you plug the daughterboard into the motherboard quite often, sonboard might be the more appropriate term, because of the male plug type. But maybe people didn't quite want to raise the spectre of motherfuckers.
Or you open it up and replace the daughterboard holding the port. Worked fine when I did it for a friend.
I wrote a script to turn the power of the the Wifi+Bluetooth chip off, then enumerate the PCIe bus again to start it back up.
The chip sometimes hung itself when using both. I looked for the bug and even found an Intel engineer on some mailing list admitting that they had issues with coexistance mode.
Just turning the wireless off and back on wasn't enough I needed to reeinitialize the hardware and that was the best way I knew.
In schools? How is this even still an open question? I thought the debate had at least moved on to whether parents should be allowed to hurt their children, even in the US.
A wheelchair's backrest does not have zero depth, so with this design the rollchair user has to sit slightly in front of the people on the left and right. Utter shit.
If they are a company for grown ups why is he acting all controlling like an insecure little child instead of trusting in his employees like a brave adult?
Programming in C and C++ just seemed way easier on Linux at the time.
The assistants at university would frequently distribute virtualbox images with Ubuntu within which we were supposed to do the homework. At some point I decided that just putting Ubuntu on my laptop directly would be easier because GCC is just right there in the repos, plus I was a little interested anyway.
Then it just kept being easy, for Java, Haskell, Scala, Python, everything was just supported nicely. The network simulators we used were Linux native, the course where we were reverse engineering binaries used GDB, Android development was simple with the tools and simulator being in the repos.
That said for gaming I still use Windows. And my workplace forces me to use macOS.
It's phytoestrogen, dummy Anon.
Ask Haiti about the level of obedience that is implied there :-D
Makes sense that he has to believe this, otherwise he'd be hellbound in his own view
