Don't Mess With Our Kids

Sounds good, we won't mess with your kids and you won't mess with mine. That means we won't force our religions on each other's children via the public school system; and if my kids need "controversial" healthcare, you won't interfere. 😉

...and you have to be a Nintendo Switch Online member (or go to New York Nintendo Store) to even purchase it. Scalpers...

It collects sleep-tracking data for you (and Nintendo's partners) to view, like other devices in this price range and beyond.

Can we listen to The Mummies? Just don't turn the drive into a chase scene.

IIRC Samsung devices default to a Samsung web browser labelled "Internet". You wouldn't want to disable the "Internet", right?

iOS seems even more egregious, where it's internally using Safari no matter what browser you install, giving the illusion of choice.

A wet/dry vacuum with a little soapy water in it works wonders.

Employees can daily clean as much of the machine as they can access, and there will still be a bit of black biofilm in there (not mold). The same biofilm lives down in all of your sink drains.

200+ models from 5 big device makers

Nearly 500 device models use them anyway.

Bleeping Computer reports 813 products from 10 vendors.

Checked the BIOS update file of a Gigabyte motherboard I have here (Z170X - Gaming 7):

DETECTED PKfail untrusted certificate

Issuer: CN=DO NOT TRUST - AMI Test PK

I sent in two phones for an offered $1600 total promotional bill credits.

One phone rejected, for the reason: "won't power on". I videoed myself opening the box on the returned phone, pressing the power button, and turning the phone on, booting into Pixel setup.

The other, Spectrum is trying to give me $200 credit for.

I spent hours on the phone with support from both of these scam companies. Do not deal with either of them, you have been warned.

The only distro I can find that successfully configures a functioning bootable GRUB on this (bastard) machine is Nobara, which looks very cool but is way too heavy! Some things are glitchy; attempting tab completion seems to freeze Konsole for ~5 seconds and does not complete the command as expected. We're working with an Intel Atom Z3735F@1.33GHz and 2GB RAM here.

How can a noob figure out what it's doing differently so I can apply that to Linux Mint Debian Edition or Crunchbang Plus Plus?

The weird thing is that once the system is installed, it does not seem to have what I think are the required packages for GRUB to be set up correctly with this type of UEFI.

nextbook@nextbook:~$ sudo grub2-install /dev/mmcblk

grub2-install: error: /usr/lib/grub/i386-efi/modinfo.sh doesn't exist. Please specify --target or --directory.
