Regarding your Peter Griffin meme: Us Swiss and our Austrian neighbors are pretty white on average, but even beyond that, the Czech, the Polish, Estonians, Latvians and Lithuanians are very white on average.

Oh I've never heard of such a setup. But that does muddy the lines a bit, I can see the argument for calling it part of firmware then.

Maybe they just don't like Jira and hope you will go away if they don't engage with your process.

Firmware is one step before.

BIOS, UEFI, coreboot, or whatever weird code runs on a Raspberry Pi's GPU to load your system, those are firmwares.

The firmware is what starts your bootloader; grub, BOOTMGR, u-boot, etc

Also the kernel makes those variable immutable by default now

More specifically it has done that for the last 8 years :-D

In A UEFI World, "rm -rf /" Can Brick Your System

efivars are made read only by the kernel. That firmware bug (!) was worked around in the kernel years ago.

Specifically in 2016: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/ed8b0de5a33d2a2557dce7f9429dca8cb5bc5879

On the contempt specifically? All I remember for sure at the moment was that Judge Lewis Liman will now draw adverse inference from the missing information. For example from the incomplete list of doctors, i.e. he will assume none of them are in Florida, and therefore there is less proof that Giuliani lives in that big house down in Florida. If that big house is found not to be his primary residence it will be handed over to Freeman and Moss. (Any secondary residences are fair game. Giuliani would prefer to hand over his New York residence apparently. So I hope he loses the one in Florida instead.)

That's one of the things he's dragging out. They are arguing about which is his real primary residency at the moment, because he would lose any other than his prime residency. He was arguing it was in Florida, but refused to produce the documents to prove it. (Asked for a list of his doctors, to see their locations he only provided last names, for example) and now Judge Lewis Liman has said enough, you're in contempt and that he will now assume none of those doctors are in Florida.

He's also "lost" the signed Jersey he was supposed to hand over. He gave them the car keys, but still not the title to it. And has not handed over his gold watch yet.

He's being maximum cunty about it.

He was just ruled to be in contempt of court this Monday. He should start to tread lightly already.

Edit: That was in the New York court of Judge Lewis Liman, this one is in the Washington D.C. court of Judge Beryl Howell. I didn't notice this earlier. Those two contempts are therefore unconnected from a procedural point of view.

Bunch of assholes. Hope it hits the responsible managers house and the office building.

Trypophobia, apparently

Same reaction here, Zitrone in German is lemon.

But it seems this is an issue for many language pairs, they have a section on it on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citron#Other_languages

Not a big surprise, they did the same with Windows 98. Everything after the first 14 was silently dropped.

I never had an optical drive that had this connector, but it seems plausible that the relatively smaller pins could still carry enough power for it.

The most power hungy bit would probably be the spinning motor, and the mass being spun is much lower in an optical drive than for a magnetic drive platter.

Ah that rings a bell, some of my (older) PSU cables have one of those at the end after a daisy chain of SATA or Molex

Something like the rightmost in these pictures?

I think they are called Floppy connectors

Yes I got that, wasn't trying to poke fun at you. It was just a funny mental image to me that I wanted to share.

also a non sata connector

Like the older Molex, or something really custom made to fuck users over?

Doom (2016) and Doom Eternal too.

This leads me to question the social necessity of companies gatekeeping medical services

The unit is Tesla. For reference, the earths magnetic field is around 50 μT on the surface (depending on latitude), and MRI machines have 1.5 T or 3 T. So your 10¹⁰ T might just nail you to the earth's iron core 😂
