I honestly can't remember the details, but I followed an Arch guide somewhere (probably the wiki). It definitely prompts me for passphrase on boot.

Lots of percussive maintenance going on around here, but one that sticks in my mind was testing some of the first 486DX PCs in 1990. One particular specimen from Compaq would only boot after hard power off by taking the lid off and tapping the CPU with a screwdriver. Worked fine after that.

Yes, but to do that they have to be decoded and handled. That's basically what the commenter above was saying.

The original 6502 had many undocumented opcodes for this reason, and developers stated exploiting them for various reasons. The CMOS 65C02 redefined them to no-op. This has been going on a long time.

When I was 18 and in my first job, my boss and I installed the very first windows NT file servers for a major uk public sector organisation. They were all named after beers that we'd drunk on team nights out. We had Blacksheep, Tanglefoot, Snecklifter, and so on. They were in a test environment so it didn't matter. Until they went into production...

It was a spirited attempt. About a 7.2 on the KenMometer.

Give Arctic a try. Just a little bit smoother and some great customisation options.

Arctic on iOS Closest to Apollo that I've found.

Have you tried Arctic?

I hope they get SLAMMED for that.

This is the way.

How does an uneaten pizza end up in the attic? I'm so confused.

Yes, that's the point. The limit c denies the possibility of a perfectly rigid body existing physically. It can only exist as a thought experiment.
