The Starliner crew is still on the ISS. They return with crew-9 in February.

Be absolutely sure that you get the source and destination drives correct. If you get them backwards, it will nuke your data. There is no confirmations, dd will start as soon as you press enter.

For a dual port card, you will want an 8 lane PCIe 3.0 slot connected to the CPU. Almost any desktop CPU will have enough lanes since you won't be using a graphics card. You can get by with a 4 lane slot, but you won't be able to max out both ports bidirectionally at the same time.

I've seen a few, but they should be required everywhere.

There really should be big signs warning about scams at any place that sells gift cards.

There's no way I will ever buy a phone with a folding screen. They are too fragile.

MakeMKV is the only cross platform bluray ripper that I'm aware of that will work with any disc. For DVDs, I normally use Handbrake.

That's why I was wondering if they fixed it. It's been quite a while since I've used an Nvidia card.
I've never had any screen tearing issues with AMD cards or Intel integrated GPUs.

Has the Nvidia screen tearing issue been fixed? I've had 2 computers with Nvidia GPUs (GTX 560 Ti & GTX 765M) and they both had awful screen tearing that I couldn't get rid of unless I disabled compositing.

To add it to Firefox search, open about:config and add a boolean value browser.urlbar.update2.engineAliasRefresh set to true. This will allow you to manually add search engines. Then open the search settings and click add. Set the URL to https://www.google.com/search?udm=14&q=%s, give it a name and click "Add Engine".

There are mid range CPUs with 128MB of L3 cache now. A Linux distro like Tiny Core could fit entirely in cache.

Someone got Linux to run on an Intel 4004. It does take over a week to boot though. As long as you can connect a sufficient amount of memory to a CPU, it can boot Linux. If the CPU doesn't support Linux, it can emulate a CPU that does.
