My understanding is previously the kernel would crash on systems with more RAM than the address space, so there's now a patch to ignore the anything above the max address supported (e.g. 32bit without PAE, 36bit with PAE). More RAM was never supported, so I think the author of the article has misunderstood or oversimplified what's been done.

You can always install activate-linux, and it even works on Windows.

Epic!

You should be able to add options it87 force_id=0x8688 ignore_resource_conflict=1 to /etc/modprobe.d/it87.conf (or whatever filename) and it87 to /etc/modules. To get it to run at startup.

You can try ignore_resource_conflict which is it87 specific, rather than a system wide acpi_enforce_resources.

modprobe it87 force_id=0x8628 ignore_resource_conflict=1

The reason why this is needed is ACPI claims the I/O ports required to talk to the it87, and Linux doesn't want to override that.

The master branch works well with Intel ARC, I contributed a lot of the ARC changes. I don't think they've made it into a release yet though.

Edit: 3.2.0 has them: https://github.com/Syllo/nvtop/releases/tag/3.2.0

I got through University running Debian testing. It was mostly fine, some Linux based subjects were way easier without dealing with a VM (they recommended against WSL for some reason).

However there were a couple units that absolutely required you to use Visual Studio (non-code), I occasionally used a VM, the Uni IT also provided me with a remote VM (there's a form to fill and and it's all automated). But I mostly used Rider, which for one unit it confused their CI and I got marked down for (otherwise got top marks so it's fine).

For office, it didn't matter. Group projects mostly used Google Docs, occasionally Microsoft Office where the online version worked fine. All my units wanted PDFs at the end anyway, so it does not matter that you used LibreOffice or whatever. Some units provided you with DOCX templates, I had no issues opening them with LibreOffice.

Edit: People are mentioning online exams, my Uni did 'online quizzes' which worked fine, and some had to be done in class on their PCs anyway. Final exams where always done on paper.

Ahh sorry, I thought you meant you plugged it into the input side. If that's the case then are you running anything that measures CPU usage? I run the TIG stack, it might be able to give you some hits. Also back to my original point which is already unlikely, if it's a modified sinewave UPS, it can confuse some measuring devices while it's on battery.

It's weird to do this daily, but it's possible that the UPS is doing a self test, which would drain the battery a little and the load is from charging it back up.

The symbol they defined out is not the equals symbol but rather U+2550, so the for loop is fine.

Sigh...

Wait for it to reboot 3 times and automatically enter recovery, Troubleshoot > Advanced Options > Command Prompt, del C:\Windows\System32\drivers\CrowdStrike\C-00000291*.sys

Is the fastest way to do this assuming no bitlocker. Also C: sometimes isn't mounted at C:, you might have to try all the letters between C: and X:, or just boot into safe mode.

I believe the main contributor for drm_panic wants to add one eventually. Here's what it might look like:

Also it looks like the colours are configurable at compile time (with white on black default).

Also this guy is kinda known for fairly violent comedy videos, so "I'll skin you alive" is pretty tame for him.

For example he's created an ad that ended up being banned by the UK advertising watchdog, twice:

Adverts given the green light by Surfshark included gun violence, child death, and namedropping competitors
