  • Post on TechHelp:

    "I keep hearing the missile connecting and disconnecting.

    Has anyone got the latest driver for a Sidewinder AIM-9L?"

  • Is this actually a surprise?

    I mean actually saying it out loud would be tactless and serves no purpose, but there's no way you'd sell a sophisticated weapon without there being some way to ensure it can't be used against you. Planes, missiles,subs..

    I always thought that was the point of making major acquisitions from different countries. As if one country shut down, say, your planes, at least your navy and subs would still work.

    It's basic risk management.

    Single source vendor = single point of failure

  • To go for a LandCruiser across the Tundra?

    Yeah, I know, it's a bit of a Kluger.

  • Reread my comment.

    "On my machine, Ubuntu upgrade/install AND sudo ubuntu-drivers install BOTH flag the drivers Ubuntu installed as manually installed."

    That's why I have to manually remove them to choose a better nvidia driver.

    I can't say it any clearer

  • You misunderstood what I wrote.

    I didn't manually install anything.

    On my machine, Ubuntu upgrade/install AND sudo ubuntu-drivers install BOTH flag the drivers Ubuntu installed as manually installed.

    When you go to the Additional Drivers, it says you have manually installed drivers and all options are greyed out.

    Why do I want another driver? I found the open driver Ubuntu chose to install was flaky and provided substandard performance compared to the proprietary driver.

    And I have my commands to remove drivers, and for reference, the commands you give won't help a noob, and your steps are incomplete for earlier Ubuntu versions.

  • Ubuntu Additional Drivers offered me a choice between 11 different nvidia drivers.

    nouveau,and then a mishmash of nvidia versions, open, proprietary and server.

    Like OP was probably trying to do, had to manually remove the existing driver before you could select anything. All those options were greyed out because of a 'manual installed driver'

    And guess what did this 'manual installed driver'? Me? No. Ubuntu's own uograde or running the command for ubuntu to select the 'besr driver'.

    Fortunately, I'd been through nvidia hell several times, and knew how to manually perform the removal and install, but felt horrified for any new users that might stumble into this. With changing versions, it can be difficult when searching to work out which results are actually relevant, and which are obsolete.

    Always remember anything with a wildcard is your enemy. Triple check before you can trust it and hit enter.

  • Flat-earther, Anti-vaxxer fruitloop who has also promoted racist views.

    And he quits and bails when the going gets tough. Ask fans of Cleveland, Boston, Brooklyn what they think if him.

    Hell no.

  • Your puny gates cannot stop the power of the great one! I am a righteous GIANT! Who already paid for their shit anyways....

    Legally, I believe it would fall under the tort of false imprisonment. You can search for that in your state.

  • "When contacted for comment, surprisingly, both Labor and Liberal were in exact agreement, stating that there was no fake news in Australia, and that if there was, it only came from another party and definitely not from their party."

  • Exactly!

    All these devices should be locked down, and any apps reviewed and if OK, put on a whitelist.

  • Hmmmm. RDA is 1.7mg.

    Mg supplement has 60mg B6 and Zn has 10mg B6.

    Holy crap.

    • the circumstances where I would not stop a car to allow another passenger to pee would be extreme. Like 'we have to save the world' type of situation
    • the number of times I would think 'I should record this guy's junk' is zero
    • the number of times I've ever thought 'I should share a post of this guy's junk' is also zero

    I'm just not cut out to be a cop

  • No, they said it was Felicity in chocolate

    Sheesh!

  • Actually the biggest difference there is modern tyres.

    Agreed.

    Except if you fit the noname retreads/tyres that happened to be on special when you needed tyres and have no money, and have manufacturing dates from some years ago.

    Worse than driving on black ice.

    I always look at the reviews and buy the best wet handling tyre I can afford. That's when things get squirelly.

  • Clearly wrong. A dog will be eaten. A cat too.

  • Wait until you research Drop Bears......

    Wikipedia is hiding the truth.
