  • Poorly.

  • I cleaned out my phone's charging port today.

  • You got lucky.

    Never use a needle to clean the charge port.

    The pins in the port are tiny and fragile. It's very easy to bend them and destroy the port.

  • How do I manually check for BIOS security updates from my motherboard manufacturer?

  • So, folks who responded are conflating BIOS with UEFI. It's a common mistake - but they are very different things that serve the same purpose.

    BIOS is older technology. It usually wasn't risky unless the board was somehow faulty, but there was always some risk because you were directly reflashing the CMOS.

    UEFI is the current technology. If your board is less than 10 years old, you almost definitely have UEFI and not BIOS. It's stored in NOR flash memory on the motherboard.

    UEFI's nature and design make it much simpler and safer to update. UEFI can be updated automatically within Linux; BIOS requires the board manufacturer's utility to reprogram the CMOS.

    I'm simplifying some of this. But this should help explain the conflicting responses of what gets updated under Linux.

  • What's your favorite movie?

  • Try reading about the movie before passing judgment.

    In the U.S., "little (place)" is simply a neighborhood with a large population from some other country.

  • Yeah, it really turns tropes on their head.

    All the Chinese characters are the smart ones and the real heroes. And are played by actual Chinese actors.

  • If most of the jobs get replaced by AI, how people will have income to spend on products which will likely be produced by AI itself?

    Jump

  • You're missing the fact that the people who run the AI companies literally want us all to die so they can take our money.

    They don't want other people to exist. Except as slaves to them.
