Best risk-free option to screw with ICE is take a page from Schlock Mercenary. Help people know where ICE agents are going to be, so they can arrange to not be there.

Start or join one of those LoRa mesh networking groups, and feed them info on ICE activity.

Some of the people I’ve hung out with on Resonite have messed around with Meshtastic. Probably because there’s also an amateur radio group that occasionally meets up on there.

You tried the usual tools, found they were insufficient, and subsequently made a workaround for your needs. That last bit alone is more enough. Most people stop at “It didn’t work” and give up saying computers are too hard.

I always say, if your problem looks like a nail and can be held like one, don’t force yourself to use a frozen chicken breast. Grab the hammer.

While there is one singular ai song that I actually like due to it mocking abusive customers, I consider it the exception and not the rule.

I vote for banning AI-generated songs.

I would have brought it right back and asked for a different loaner, since the HVAC is clearly and visibly missing.

That’s just bureaucracy in general. Left hand doesn’t know what the right hand is doing, until it receives an after action report, signed in triplicate, two months after that knowledge stopped being useful.

Uh-huh. Sure.
I’ll get right on that, as soon as you can explain exactly how the singular genitive declension of the Latin word Dēus has literally any bearing whatsoever on office policies.

There’s the upcoming Slate trucks, but those are scheduled for Q4 2026. And… also probably going to be US exclusive for a bit. Oof.

It’s more unusual than anything. TPM2 and Secure boot are requirements I would expect from a security compliance checklist and software handling at least somewhat valuable data, like maybe a password vault.

A steam game is the last place I would expect this.

Rookie mistake. Eyeryone knows you’re supposed to play Pepper Coyote’s Blast Radius when you have this opportunity.

I wonder if we’ll ever get enough standardization across EVs so people can start doing the electric equivalent of an LS swap.
I could see this being done on a Slate truck, along with an auxiliary EV battery bolted in the back.

Now the big question is: can this be used as case law against future attempts by Nintendo to stomp on fair use and other parody works?

Dang, nothing near where I live.

Could always make them waste even more resources by adding noise to what little data they might have.
I’m Spartacus Banksy!

First Spain, and now Ireland. I don’t even know what goes on at Eurovision, but let’s hope the momentum on this keeps going.

Not suitable for this.

GPS is a purely one-way method, with the satellites transmitting only their position and a timecode, leaving the receiver to do the triangulation. And if they did send any sort of custom data packets over that method, it would just confuse the crap out of every other receiver across most of the world, causing potential device crashes, drawing attention from ham operators worldwide…

And also massively pissing off the US military. Turns out a lot of their equipment and munitions make use of GPS and INS, so fucking with those satellites is a no-go.

I think you’re off by a decade there. My 2010 car has no mobile connectivity.

Huh, and I thought that was only for the os activation, but no. ESU support is right there, under the TSForge activation method.

Given that you’re using this for a laptop, you’re looking for a monitor. Not a TV.

Anything suitable for office work should be good here.

Listen mate, the fact that you’re even reading instructions at all instead of chucking the technical stuff aside, or trying to force some unlucky family member to be tech support, puts you miles above most of the people I’ve dealt with.

I had one guy demand I physically come down to his desk for an issue that was “blocking an important report”. It was literally just Windows asking if he wanted to overwrite an old file.
