I agree that the gatekeeping isn’t a good thing, but you should learn at least the basics of the CLI. It will give you a better understanding of what’s going on behind your GUI and makes troubleshooting and fixing problems a lot easier.

Definitely not required but it is absolutely a skill worth having.

No, it means the printer driver is running a web server to host the status page. Localhost is literally your computer.

It’s a happy accident. They were working on a diabetes treatment, which they did develop. The side effects included weight loss, so it started to get prescribed off-label for that. Then they did the required testing to get it approval for weight-loss.

It works because it is a fake hormone that mimics GLP-1, a hormone that is involved with appetite regulation. When it binds to the GLP-1 receptors it causes more insulin to be released in response to sugars which lowers blood sugars. The weight loss doesn’t come from that, though, it comes from the appetite suppression.

A lot of people seem to think you can eat as much as you want while you’re taking it. That’s technically true, but really because you won’t want to eat much.

You can try to see if lspci sees the USB controller. Next I would try running diagnostics from UEFI, see if you get any errors. Try a bootable USB to verify if it’s a hardware or software issue.

Any hardware diagnostic failure or failure to boot from it will tell you you need a new system board.

Requiring a support contract to receive continuing updates of software that was very publicly approaching end of support, with published EoL dates for years now does not break any laws.

By that logic, no support contracts are legal in the EU at all, and no product would ever be sunset.

Hi, you’re wrong. Goodwill Industries is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

Charity Navigator rating

Hold up,

2024-1994=30 years

Since a century is 100 years, 1/4 would be 100/4=25 years

How did you get 32 years equals a quarter century?
