We're all very happy that you were able to satisfy your TP/PT sanitation requisites! :) Are you thinking the "panic" is due to COVID-19?

From Ars Technica: Facebook is canceling its massive F8 developers' conference over fears of COVID-19. The conference had been scheduled to begin on May 5 in San Jose, California.

9⁴ or 8⁴?

So according to the manual Yes, that's the complete list. Wonder if it would work under Wine, for *X enthusiasts?

Seconded!

Aw, jeez. About how old is the unit? Can you at least set up a fan to get warm air from downstairs?

Critical Windows 10 vulnerability used to Rickroll the NSA and Github Attack demoed less than 24 hours after disclosure of bug-breaking certificate validation.

Then I hope you were able to shut off the water at the main valve in time to minimize the damage. A few years ago, we got to have a kitchen remodeling because a pipe froze. (The builder forgot to insulate one little corner of the house. :mad:)

I hope there wasn't a leak. ☔ 🌊

At least you got the good news that your mother's surgery went well, and I'm sure the whole forum joins me in wishing her and your family the best.

From https://www.theverge.com/2020/1/8/21056198/sonos-google-statement-lawsuit-ces-reaction-big-tech: Sonos said what every smaller tech company was thinking: working with big tech sucks Also covered in...

At my old job, we got YubiKeys, but they set it up so we could alternatively use the PingID app on our phone, which was more convenient to me.

I wonder whether some of these issues relate to "binning". I remember reading about the old "pencil trick" for AMD CPUs.

I'm hereby Giving Thanks for your "behind the scenes" work, Handy! ❤

Some motherboards can flash their BIOS without an installed CPU.

TMI :poop:

Well, that would increase the pressure on AMD to correct the problem. Apparently, AMD has provided a fix to motherboard manufacturers, for them to include in their BIOS updates. IIRC, this would correct the microcode on the Ryzen CPU itself, to make RDRAND produce varying "random" numbers...

I'm not sure what you mean, but there can't be too much of a risk if you can't boot your Ryzen 3000 PC :). (Apparently, this bug has been around for months [and somewhere I read that it's been years, but I'm not sure of that].) Aside from that issue with Destiny, it seems that Linux uses RDRAND...

https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2019/10/how-a-months-old-amd-microcode-bug-destroyed-my-weekend I'd been "window shopping" for x570 mobos, and maybe that article explains why I saw a significant number of x570 purchasers that had problems getting their builds to boot, or had other inexplicable...

The spam regarding 498A was removed.

Don't even view the 498A thread

Thanks, Chewy, maybe I'll take another look at T-bird. At work, we were "upgraded" from Office/Outlook to Gsuite/Gmail. (G-not-so-Suite ;)) It has pop-up reminders, but they only show in the lower right corner of a Gmail web session. It's sooo nice to have reminders pop up in a new window...

I use Evolution in Ubuntu, because I had read that Thunderbird does not have a well-integrated calendar function (Emailed invites that are accepted are added to the calendar, and calendar appointments can have pop-up alerts before the appointed date/time, which can be delayed to repeat at a...

As Will mentioned, LibreOffice.

I'm not sure I understand this comment.

Happy Labor Day (in the USA)! Raise a glass (or two) for all the laborers.

As it happens, my Dell s2415H has speakers, and when I checked, it also has an output jack that works with my JVC Gumy. I believe plugging in those earbuds cuts off the monitor's speakers, but I can't be positive because the audio output from this PC goes through a subwoofer that was still...

Let us know how the cameras are working. ;)

As it happens, a few weeks ago, we had a very nice visit to Haley's Honey Meadery.

so is the rest of your sentence.

I had thought that mead was fermented honey, not honey added to booze: Wikipedia.

Bubbly ? Cool!

OK, "just off cuff", Dioria and Nausia. :)

Can't see the forest for the rocks. ;). (BTW, The Petrified Forest also happens to be a nice, classic pic.)

So the newest one (I've seen) is at least confining him-/her-self to the Folding Folder. :(

Sweet ride. As a college buddy used to say, "Does it go where you point it?"

And is it a used car? ;)

I would consume a sandwich.

I'm not sure the various spectre/meltdown/... variants require hyper-threading; at least some of them may work on any multi-core processor.

You could consider adding RAM test software, such as MemTest86, to your diagnostic kit.

OTOH, this Orange Muscat is a fine dessert wine, IMHO.

Cool infinite-loop-link! ;)

In your copious spare time? ;)

Then that was terrible, Lunar. Almost a decade ago, when I was laid off, I at least got a decent severance package to "tide me over". A few years later, my wife took the "offer she couldn't refuse", to retire early from her job, and got a minimal, better-than-nothing severance package. The...

So you got lucky ;) Or maybe that was part of a severance package you got, that others who hung on until the company closed did not get.

You can preview your whole post, before saving it, and test the links that way.

That. Spoken as an "old fogie" whose eyes and ears are going somewhat fast. Streaming TV in 4K (+HDR?) may be "good enough" for my vision. And I'm a fan of classic music (jazz, blues, rock (&roll), Motown, hip-hop, etc.), but not classical music, so 95% coverage may be adequate to convey the...

I Googled it earlier. I think it's something about a dog show.
