  • A yes, the fun times of a baby haha. Enjoy! :p
    Anyway, Secure boot itself was designed by the eufi consortium, which is a group of pc tech companies, to help make sure devices only boot what it can trust. Good on paper and in practice but…

    back in circa 2011 microsoft had enforced any pc that wanted to be windows 8 certified ( and get the sticker ) to require secure boot to be enabled together with fastboot. All motherboards needed to have a tpm module with only the microsoft certificate in it. This meant that booting from a usb or cd was completely off the table and you could just not install linux, period.
    And even if you did, the kernels or bootloaders were not signed so they would be refused by the bios/eufi.

    This was a big thing back then, and canonical and redhat tried and found a few ways around it, and so did some individuals.

    But afaik the linux foundation ( which microsoft is part of, funnily enough ) made some binaries that were signed and allowed linux to boot under secure boot, including usb/cd.
    Iirc, during the linux installation the distro will add its certificate to the tpm so that kernels signed by the distro boot fine.

    To this day, without those binaries from the foundation, it would be impossible to boot linux with secure boot and can still cause issues when dual booting and having bitlocker enabled for example. Bitlocker detects a changed boot state (by grub) and says fuck that, give me the recovery key or i aint decrypting this.

    Here is a google search if you want dig deeper, it should all be from circa 2011-2012 :

  • This is awesome and is how i feel about my current relationship. We are only a few months in but it just feels right. We both have asd and adhd and she has a few extras. We both take meds to help manage it but we just… Understand each other.

    Obviously it can fail, but we sure hope it doesnt.

    Imo, a relationship with a mental disorder needs an understanding of the disorders of both parties. Both people having asd is kinda what i needed in my life as we understand eachother and our own quirks and know what helps or how to deal with them




  • Thats bullshit. The switch 1 also had all of this functionality and nobody complained…
    Physical media ftw btw

    First lookup what youre saying, seriously. None of what you said is true. If it was, a system that had no internet could not start any downloaded content, which it can…
    Backwards comparability obviously might not work because it needs the title update to get possible fixes if not big part of the gpu shaders that were recompiled for switch 2 ( which is needed because the switch 1 and switch 2 gpu’s are not compatible ). Iirc from my sources within the switch homebrew community it tries to trans compile them but might not always work, hence title updates.

    And if you got the console banned, you did some serious bad shit haha





  • They dont know wtf they are going to cause. We are the highway connecting the sea with europe, connecting north east europe with south west ( netherlands, germany and france together ). Poland? Ye that passes us. Spain, bet your arse. Germany? Netherlands?
    Yuuuuppp.

    Our roads are already filled to a god damn brim, if you stop everyone for border controls they are insane. Even more road rage and traffic jams, nice!
    And yes, our airplanes have border controls…
