My brothers overpriced merc uses lighting zones and detection to turn off areas to not blind incoming traffic. Cool, but I'm sure within 5 years these extremely complex lighting arrays will fail and not be user serviceable, other than full headlight cluster replacement for $4k.

More complexity, shorter life. You'll get what you want but only because it suits the makers.

Pop! Os

Imo.

What an unhinged rant. Even 30 seconds after posting I can barely understand my point. I'll leave it there unedited though.

The root cause of this issue that they identify, is 100% the kind of AI that they'll build for this situation.

Old mate wants to use it to keep people on their best behaviour. The kind of subjective wording that whatever he doesn't like, is the exact reason people lie in court.

Power to that thought process through systemising it, legitimising it, is exactly part of the problem.

What's that American who said lies about the eating cats then justifying it by saying "I'd lie if it got the American public to wake up". Let me get the quote..

https://www.mediaite.com/news/remarkable-confession-jd-vance-absolutely-floors-observers-with-comment-that-hes-been-creating-stories-about-migrant-pet-eating/

If I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people, then that’s what I’m going to do.

Yep. It's not infallible, it's intentional. Intent goes into the creation of systems and implementations. These are the kind of people that want these systems. They're justified in their own minds.

So to close the loop you linked that article and it's point was:

More than half of wrongful convictions can be traced to witnesses who lied

Don't give them reason for more ways to do so. Don't give them legitimacy. That's deterministic. It's intent. It's not failed if it worked. Your opinion on a system which is failed or fallible is not the same as the Oracle hocho who wants to be God.

They're not sharing your values, morals, ethics or compassion.

I saw a sign on each street light on a bike path in my town that said "these street lights use aluminium cabling because the copper was stolen".

Your plan will work.

This is no different to me having a email dedicated to searching for a house to give to real estate agents and someone saying "I don't think it's legal that a house has an email". It was frustrating reading up until your comment that people just didn't get it.

Google looks. Google reports. Even if you did nothing wrong you're guilty until you prove innocent and even then you'll never get your account back.

I spent like 20 minutes self hosting and running over tailscale so traffic is always private... Never had an issue. I've got over 20 devices accessible on it.

Easy to remote register over ssh just by sending the installer plus running with server name plus key, then setting a static password.

I still think gaming wide moonlight is great though. You won't really regret that.

Other then legacy and uefi does it have a CSM compatibility support mode? An option to enable usb initialisation before bios? Eg wait for usb initialisation?

Some "boot faster" options kind of reorder boot initialisation to a point where it's not holding the system back.

Though I'm really running out of suggestions.. I can imagine you're pretty frustrated. I know my Dell laptop was a pain to get the right settings to get usb to boot and the stupid 100db beep to silent on boot interruption.

And you probably confirmed that live boot worked too I assume.

In the actual bios, can you see a boot order and see uefi for Windows/whatever is on your internal disk? But not any other entries?

I suggest a few more things:

Try a different brand usb. Different motherboards sometimes don't support some usb brands. In fact, a Lenovo server I rebuilt refused to boot off certain usbs.

Some motherboards don't initialise boot off some usb ports. Sometimes the additional ports are on another controller and initialise too slow.

Just try a straight working Ubuntu live boot usb to remove any ventoy from equation. Ubuntu has real signed uefi (and no shim) granted by Microsoft. I think that's how it works, uefi is a mess.

Try to start isolating all the different factors, and there could be more. It doesn't necessarily mean anything definitive if it works on another machine.

I was using trillion in 2000 until I think the freeware started suggesting pro on 2002 and moved to pidgin from then until MSN messenger stopped working one day meaning messengers I had back then got fragmented. I stopped using all messengers shortly after.

Hearing news about pidgin is like a blast from the past.
