I would say world war is still years away, but if SK in your name means slovakia then comfort yourself that you might find yourself in the early BRICS block vs US empire wars, so hopefully it’ll be over without too much war in your country soon.

I would choose to have the power to turn off superpowers and then I’d turn off my superpower.

That the 105 male/100 female birth to young adult ratio needs a fix to get to 100/100 at least.

The distraction comes from me being not too kind to either of the duo-culture of the US empire on this issue.

I think this persons means bottled water.

Can I so intelligent as to quickly figure out how to CRISPR-Cas9 my looks or does tge wish prevent me from changing my appearance?

firmware is a pretty common term for things like this (code on chip that manages low level startup)

It’s still a stupid term no matter how common it is. It has little to nothing to do with firms.

No, mormon.

We pray for pacman to deliver as he often does.

All hail to pacman!

What concerns would those be, that the few US chip companies would have to be compete again?

I once got this advice and got so offended by it that I tried rerouting the bullies to target him instead.

It worked and never did I have so much fun proving someone wrong.

I can’t remember the name of anymore.
SpaceHQ or something.

For me, I would say around 2020 and knowing the US was responsible for blowing up the pipelines the around summer 2021, considering the news at that time I could already tell. Not in detail, but enough to know it a high likelyhood, with doubts in between.

Oh wait, I see that vmlinuz file has a version to it. I couldn’t remember if vmlinuz was the kernel or not, because I used to have multiples of them, but these days I only have one.

GRUB gets installed on your harddisk in your root partition, it’s configuration file on the boot partition and finally into your boot sector if I’m correct. UEFI is a standard for your firmware located outside your harddisk. You go from firmware -> partition layout -> bootloader (grub) -> kernel.

The firmware is closed source under BIOS or UEFI or if you’re hardcore open source, libreboot/coreboot/‘other options’ and is located somewhere on your motherboard on some chip.
Then there’s the partition layout and bootloader that are located inside /dev/sda I believe, so inside the device itself, which can be read if you want to take a peek at it.

Now the bootloader located in the boot sector /dev/sda loaded by the firmware located in some chip in the motherboard, has access to the boot partition, where it loads the bootloader’s configuration file usually located at /boot/grub/grub.cfg for GRUB. I remember UEFI having some kind of standard bootloader by itself, so it doesn’t even need a bootloader if I can remember correctly.

This what I recall as it was quite complicated for me too. Especially with software being called firmware and not being called motherbootware or pre-bootware or anything that indicates that this piece of software is the very first thing that starts running during boot.

But you look at /boot and what you can find there. There will be at least two files there called initramfs and vmlinuz, which were also part of the boot process, but I forgot what role those two played.

Not exactly a hobby and not exactly a year,
but 1998-2009 for movies & television that was not anime.

As bad as all the nostalgia-bait is today,
it’s no Idiocracy which was not a prediction of the future,
but a reflection of what the media-landscape was turning into,
during that era.
