You say that as if you would claim that Mr Trump is competent, despite his (presumably age related) mental problems and his complete lack of ability in doing politics

Surely one could use the same exploit to restore the original boot code as the malware used to corrupt it

If you are working in a different number system with other people ten loses its unique meaning just like any word that has another technical meaning.

In code 0x10 is hex 10 (what you'd call sixteen), but in spoken technical English you don't need to pronounce the 0x

I don't see the need to bring values into this, this is about the naming of number systems. We really have no more claim to ten being this many (..........) than hexadecimal people have to claim ten has this many (................)

As in Margaret Thatcher was an Englishman?

Everything is under control

Iodine in salt is a health measure, people were not getting enough iodine, so they added it to the salt

But that's not going to degrade.

That says you cannot replace individual broken cells in a Tesla pack. That doesn't say you can't replace the pack

Aren't all the cells worn in a ten year old battery?

My car wouldn't have done that. Had I fallen unconscious it would either follow the road or stop

But that's also not because it's electric.

Every base has ten, but it's made of two digits

Binary 0, 1, 10 Ternary 0, 1, 2, 10 ... Decimal 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 Hex 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, F, 10

Each has the right count of digits for its base before you go two-digit - binary has two (0, 1), etc

The best thing to do with a tarball is to bzip it

My government agency when hiring all the roles in an IT team put those sort of stupid ranges in the headline, but if you drill down to a specific role you see the actual range
