Broken BIOS on a PC. You can basically throw out your motherboard

Can confirm, bricked a Latitude E6420 trying to put coreboot on it and completely missing an instruction in bright red bold text. Had a parts machine thankfully, and had to swap the boards.

Huh, that makes two of us. Hated every second of dealing with OneUI, back when I got it, GSIs were around but there was no straight forward guide. Now one does exist and oh boy, it feels like a completely different device with LOS and no gapps.

This announcement is for Brave hosting their own repository to host the Brave browser on that's compatible with F-Droid, rather than the Brave browser being added to F-Droid's official repository.

Otherwise, perhaps you meant that you did add their repo and it's still not showing up.

The fuck? First person I've met that objects to this. Even the sushi places usually throw in soy sauce for your spring rolls

I've done this mistake before on a 40 character LCD, but that was over 10 years ago at this point.

If memory serves me right, you submit characters to the display sequentially, ideally in 40 character lengths that go top left to top right, wrap to bottom left to bottom right.

Looks like the software or controller running the screen gives a bad character, or having a second look (noticing the EUR gets changed to EUP occasionally) there's a bad connection to the display causing corruption.

Damn, I over thought it. I got "Imaginary cube sum of apple pi" before seeing the answers here.

Well now I'll be thinking all day on the thought experiment of how one could actually prevent it, assuming they're only a US citizen.

I guess you could send in an anonymous bomb threat on the morning for both towers, but that still wouldn't prevent the tragedy of all those onboard.
