Phyllis Fong is a hero. We could get through this more easily if more people acted like her.

A lot of agency workers were offered 9 months severance to quit, but they chose to stay on.

Don't forget The Measure of a Man. We literally watched that in 9th grade American History, as a commentary about slavery.

I've done this with Debian before, and it works fine. Linux usually mounts the root filesystem based on its UUID, so it doesn't matter if changing the motherboard caused a change from /dev/sda to /dev/sdb .

If you use the proprietary Nvidia driver, make sure to update it to a version that supports the new video card. If you use the open source Nvidia driver, you should be fine even if it's old, because it will at least support starting up in an unaccelerated mode.

Why do they put his ugly, ugly face on every fucking article? It adds nothing, and detracts a lot.

You get more protection from your credit card company than Paypal. If your item doesn't arrive or doesn't work, you can file a chargeback and get a full refund. It's worked for me every time I tried it (Visa card from Royal Credit Union).

What is this?

Trump isn't the politician I most loathe. He's just the only politician that I've ever feared might kill or imprison me purely for who I am.

The article is from December, so the interviewer couldn't have asked about their CEO's recent betrayal: https://insights.priva.cat/p/does-proton-still-stand-for-anything

Maybe a motorcycle helmet? They have built-in visors that protect well from rain.

Of these 3, the Pixel 9. It can run both GrapheneOS and CalyxOS.

The Pixel 8a can also run both, but it only costs $400. CalyxOS will support both phones until 2031.

No, I would rate-limit them. OP is getting a non-rate-limited block. If OP has an ISP problem where they can't access the site, this VPN may be their only option.

I think catloaf's idea is good, but no tech company accepts RMA requests by paper mail.

I don't use VPNs, but plenty of sites using datadome.co will arbitrarily block me at my residential ISP. datadome.co will first ask you to complete a captcha, and upon your success, you are immediately blocked with no recourse. Here's a typical screenshot: (not mine)

The "contact support" link opens a contact form that goes to a black hole. I've filled out dozens, and never gotten a response.

I have tried 3 brands of Ethernet over powerline, from 2013 through 2019, and they all broke down after about a year of continuous use. They start at 100Mb/s and gradually decreases to 100Kb/s.

Yes, this. What you need is a Wifi bridge.

You can search for a device that specifically works as a Wifi bridge, or (as Rivalarrival suggested) you can buy one of the many multipurpose GL.iNet devices and configure it in bridge mode. I recommend GL.iNet devices because they run OpenWRT out of the box.

That's no excuse. An RMA form is something that all their customers are entitled to use. If anyone finds their IP address blocked, even a VPN IP address, then their warranty claim has effectively been blocked for an invalid reason.

The company has failed their warranty obligations.

Exfat is just a bad filesystem. Many Linux programs require a fully functional filesystem, including unix-style permissions.

Executive orders have less force than federal law.

You have a cute name.

Is this product real? There's no schematic, no source code, no evidence of a working prototype, no evidence of experience in electronics manufacturing, no history of their company name, and no evidence that the chosen chips can even fit inside a connector of the size shown in their videos. I'm sorta siding with Vreenak on this one.

Yeah, the search terms seem to have an HTTP 302 redirect to the domain's home page.

Searching for "diversityy" shows unredacted results for the word "diversity" as if it had automatically corrected the spelling, bolding the corrected search term.
