OEM license keys have been stored in the BIOS for several versions now: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_Locked_Pre-installation

For 99% of drivers, the on-disc ones are enough to get up and running, and as long as you have an Internet connection you can download any that aren’t on-disc. The remaining 1% can be obtained directly from the OEM. Modem Windows is very good about this.

The turmoil is manufactured. Nobody actually gives a shit except Fox News being livid about companies having the woke, and people who regurgitate it.

That’s one factor, yes. Both is better.

You can just reinstall base Windows at that time, either plain or your OEM version if they provide it. There’s not much use in preserving the current image.

The article also says he gave multiple stories.

As long as you’re on board with systemic racism, sure. DEI programs were created to address historic discrimination against minorities.

it was possible to print quality microscope lenses using a photopolymerizing clear resin on a Mars 3 Pro printer. In developing the specifications for their lenses, they followed those of the Edmund Optics 12.7 mm diameter plano-convex lens, which has a focal length of 35 mm

I didn’t open the paper to read more, but that’s the important bit if you’re curious like me.

Don’t worry about it, nobody says that any more. It died out with Gentoo.

appoint someone with some statutory independence, who is able to make decisions without interference

That’s what they did. Twice. Robert Muller and Jack Smith performed independent investigations and recommended criminal prosecution.

But then the rest of government killed it.

Uptime is for services, not individual servers.

They didn’t align by chance. Republicans have been pushing and shoving since Nixon to get as many lined up as they can.

This is not part of flag code. Federal orders only apply to federal flags, like federal buildings and military bases. As noted in the article, Florida has ordered a corresponding period for state properly. But Mar-a-lago is entirely private property. We already know Trump is a piece of shit, we don’t need to give him more airtime.

Good luck actually collecting anything.

I thought you were taking the piss, but no, an acre really is one chain (66ft) by one furlong (660ft). TIL.

Slow news day?

Use iperf3 if you can.

You could also just use dig, ping, and traceroute to check the path.
