Hello, all my machines use DDR3 exclusively and they still work fine, thank you.

Hmm… just found out that the only two video backends that can correctly display 10-bit full color range videos for me are VDPAU and x11, both unavailable on Wayland.

Isn’t most RAM produced in South Korea these days?

I get the frustration and I don’t think it’s fair to downvote somebody just because they don’t conform to your opinion.

But with the overhyped shitshow LLMs have been so far, I also understand the hate against them. I mean, while not being real, this screenshot seems quite believable, because any user has seen something like this already.

You should try the lightly fucked variety next.

Didn’t work for me.

“My heart is telling me, this is wrong.”

Is there barely anybody left online who’s able to string up an intelligible sentence?

And I want a freaking small notification LED back that tells me what’s going on without any annoying sounds or having to turn on the display and wasting battery charge every few minutes.

It’s just blind perfectionism. Don’t put security features as the first priority above all else? Hunting season is open.

It’s difficult to argue against their basic policy, especially these days, seeing what AI pentesting can do.

But at the end of the day, mom and dad are gonna have to use their phones and they do not care about or understand security in the slightest, so how are they supposed to make use of those devices?

I think a little more positive marketing wouldn’t hurt, but the Graphene people love to call out what everybody else is doing wrong.

Is that… good or bad? I can’t tell.

I just read that as “it could be OLED with logos/UI burnt in and not much lifetime left”…

Yeah, don’t do that.

You may have been lucky, but the testing repository is really not meant for daily use.

Noone cares about packages there, so depending on what you have installed and when you update, you might have critical security vulnerabilities that have been patched for weeks on Stable or other incompatibilities/broken dependencies.

Unstable is not meant for daily use either, but at least you brainlessly get pushed the latest updates at all times. I have used it for a while, but it broke on me, too.

If you need newer software, just use Stable with backports or Flatpaks.

Usual reminder here that you can remap Caps Lock to act as Control L for easy pinky access.

sigh To actually answer your question:

Coreboot itself is just init firmware that contains a payload, such as Seabios, GRUB or Tianocore.

Those can have passwords (or also not, Seabios can’t, as far as I’m aware).

There’s a Libreboot site on how to lock down GRUB.

Basically, you have to flash your own config by adding your password hash and replacing the one in the ROM with e.g. cbfstool. It may sound scarier than it is.

Besides having less features than many proprietary BIOSes, I prefer the flexibility of having your own config to play around with. You can also create custom entries to boot fully encrypted RAIDs and such stuff.

(I sighed because many answers were about BIOS passwords not being effective anyway, which, to me, is dog shit, because of course you do not want somebody random to be able to just boot a USB from your device and screw up your system. And no, it does not reset itself when you take out the CMOS battery.)

I do get what you mean and I feel similarly when people talk about cats, dogs and especially human babies.

But does this do anything for you? Because it does for me.

Are you in prison?

Jesuschrist, looks like the texture wasn’t applied correctly.

Well, some of them are…

Totally, I related to all but the last panel.

To add to that, this is what you are to him.
