Thanks for the thoughtful and detailed reply. I had simply forgotten about signing non-encrypted firmware. My apologies. I get rather irritated about people talking about Secure Boot, as it is usually used as a way of securing the computer against the person who bought the hardware. And, there...

For those that want a boot of the Raspberry Pi 5 without binary blobs, there's a slightly confusing post from Gordon Hollingworth (Director of Software Engineering at Raspberry Pi) at Raspberry Pi: News: Introducing: Raspberry Pi 5! : comment 1594066 I guess that in principle, if it is not...

I sympathize with your viewpoint. There isn't a great history for that. A 'great power' invaded a neighbouring country back in 1864, and annexed a great deal of land. 55 years later, after the successor state to the great power lost a large war, there were several referendums (plebiscites) in...

Ummm - as far as I remember, 2016 didn't have 15 months. It was a standard year.

From the reports of multiple explosions, I suspect that explosions were set off under the bridge near to a pier to lift the spans off the supports. The video on the BBC website (which the BBC make deliberately difficult to link to*) taken from a passing train shows one end of one road span...

Thank you kindly.

Well the DragonBox shop has icons/links for: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DragonBoxShop Twitter: https://twitter.com/dragonboxshop YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/DragonboxDeED which is all well and good: ED needs to use the channels his general customers expect; but when it comes to...

I don't have a Twitter account (and I won't be getting one). Twitter now cannot be read on the web by people without a Twitter account. Does EvilDragon have a Mastodon account, or is it possible he will get one? Edited to add a missing question-mark.

The Leipzig historical re-enactment society were giving a show covering the early 18th century, and everything was going to plan. On the day of the finale, one of the key re-enactors who played a musician was ill, which was a shame, because the show was going to be a full house with some...

Banal & boring. Bye.

I see your antiphrasis detectors are absolutely, definitely, and definitively not in need of maintenance.

Well, obviously it's a sign to an offical artwork depicting the State of Florida: here's a couple of examples, neither of which are official AFAIK. https://i.icanvas.com/TRA160?d=2&sh=s&p=1&bg=g&t=1623595779 https://www.artsyeinstein.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Florida_x500.jpg

Actu Actually, the vast majority of eggs sold for consumption are unfertilised. I remember as a child getting the occasional fertilised egg in meals. - it was easy enough to remove the little red blob from fried eggs. It was more of an issue in boiled. suspect the most popular form of...

We are not the only people who like the handheld concept - Hackaday: Handheld PC looks great ByteWelder: Building a handheld PC The battery and power management solution is interesting - use an Arduino to emulate a supported device! Edited to remove an extraneous 'd': emulated -> emulate

They were developed from forms used originally by communities resident on the Indian sub-continent, so are often called Hindu-Arabic Numerals, or Indo-Arabic numerals, as they reached the west via Arab/Muslim culture. Hindu-Arabic numeral system But the USA has other numeral systems available...

An very old, and an old report might give some clues: Ask Ubuntu: Green filter in video with VLC, Mplayer, Gnome media player GitHUb mpvplayer/mpv: Incorrect colorspace (video looks green/purple-ish) #4340

And how is that enforced? They might not be allowed, but just because something is not allowed does not stop people from doing it, out of malice, ignorance, or carelessness. Vehicle drivers are assumed to know how tall their vehicle (plus any load) is, and be able to read signs, so vehicles...

What's absurd in the UK is that the relevant authorities (local councils, highway authorities, bridge owners) are not allowed to put bars at the same height as the space under the bridge either side of the bridge so that it would be the 'sacrificial' barrier that gets damaged, and not the bridge...

Which lucky person is going to inherit your posthumous refund? Might that be a motive for murder?
