Having not read the article: “Let’s apply Hanlon’s Razor: Oh, probably it just collects the data locally and caches it until the vendor’s servers are reachable. After a while the data partition was full and it stopped working as this case was never deemed possible when this was developed.”
Having read that the kill command was logged and he found it in the logs: “ok, there are no technical details, so there might still be a misunderstanding, but that’s not what I expected!”

I was so pumped back then, when I learned where the book scanner in my university’s library was located. Although I never needed it for class itself, when you need to write some papers and needed some literature - just go to the library, get the book, put it on the scanner, copy all chapters you need and then rinse and repeat with the next book. No need to carry a fuckton of paper home to cite from or work for hours in the library. A single pen drive is enough for that.
German has both genders for dogs, but since the variants look (and sound) slightly different, it’s not instantly obvious:
Der Hund - a male dog
Die Hündin - a female dog

I AM GROOT!


My pet peeve is when a system shows these messages to me, but I’m the admin. And there are no further logs to consult.


IORC I tried to activate every test that was possible (although I can’t remember whether you can configure much in the windows tool).
The windows tool is a bit… strange. You can find it in the start menu by searching for it („Windows Memory Diagnostic“) or by running the mdsched command. After confirmation, that tool will reboot into a Memtest like UI and run its tests. When it finishes, it will automatically reboot to windows and send a notification with its result. If you miss this notification, you have to open the Event log and search for its output there. I haven’t found a way to make it display its results and wait for a manual confirmation for a reboot or another easy way to check the results. But I haven’t used it often.
There aren’t many i386 distributions anymore, but you should still have some selection, I think


In case you’re dual booting - Windows also has a memory diagnostic tool. This did identify my RAM as broken almost immediately, while Memtest reported everything OK after a full scan of several hours. As I only knew Memtest back then it took me weeks to find why my PC was constantly randomly crashing, until I learned of that.
But that was about 2 years ago, so maybe Memtest did improve since then? (Or maybe I had some very weird behaving RAM and finding it with other tools was just pure luck…)


They now get Big Beautiful Bills, apparently
I know, but still it’s clearly a “you had one job to do, taskmanager”.
Also the task manager currently has a bug where it’s process keeps running when you close the window. So, to get rid of it, you now either need to open another task manager and kill that process (and the one you have currently open) or do a reboot…

…also… …es ist günstiger das Bußgeld zu zahlen, als eine neue Heizung einzubauen?
Meine Eltern hatten einen sehr altersschwachen PC. Ich hab ihnen neulich gesagt, dass wir den neuen entweder min. 1-2 Monate vor dem Win 11 Ende machen, oder eben dann mit etwas Abstand danach.
Ich bin froh, den schon längst fertig gebaut und ihnen übergeben zu haben - alleine der RAM, den ich eingebaut hatte, ist inzwischen fast so teuer, wie die gesamte Hardware die ich bestellt hatte…
