  • How the hell did he arrive at the conclusion there was some sort of one-drop rule for non-protected works.

    Just because the registration is blocked if you don’t specify which part is the result of human creativity, doesn’t mean the copyright on the part that is the result of human creativity is forfeit.

    Copyright exists even before registration, registration just makes it easier to enforce. And nobody says you can’t just properly refile for registration of the part that is the result of human creativity.







  • That’s for MBR partitioned disks, where they fight over the first sector of the disk which is used as the boot sector.

    Computer models starting from around 2013 should support UEFI boot. If you boot in UEFI mode you use a GPT partitioned disk with an EFI System Partition. In there Windows does not overwrite grub. In mine for example grub was in the ESP under /EFI/fedora/ and Microsoft found the ESP and put its stuff in /EFI/Microsoft.

    The worst I’ve experienced is that Windows puts the Windows Boot Manager back on top of the UEFI boot order, to fix that, I wrote a comment before, that I’ll just link here, if it’s really just the order you can also just change it back in the UEFI menu.

    Another bad thing is that some laptop UEFIs, especially early ones are utterly broken. They ignore your boot order, or your entries in the UEFI boot manager, sometimes they just load the fallback path defined in the UEFI spec, which is \EFI\Boot\BOOTX64.efi, but that’s the OEMs fault. I’ve seen both Fedora and Microsoft write their loader to the fallback path. I’m not sure if they clobber the other ones if it exists already, because I never boot from that path, so I wouldn’t notice.


  • Her left handed dad - who grew up in a country which had no left handed things - wasn’t able to use the scissors.

    That’s interesting to me. I’m a lefty who’s used to both types of scissors. That means I know how I need to pull sideways with the knuckle of my thumb in the right handed ones so they still cut well. But with the left handed ones I feel like I’m doing way less, I just pull and push up and down without needing the additional deliberate sideways pressure.



  • But it does say right on that page:

    Take note that the network request logger in uBO is a forward-looking logger: this means only future requests can be logged.

    In the spirit of efficiency, uBO will log entries IF AND ONLY IF the logger is opened. Otherwise, if the logger is not opened, no CPU/memory resources are consumed by uBO for logging purpose.



  • I had random issues with a laptop bluetooth adaptor around 6-7 years ago. I was able to hack together a script that wrote “0” to the /power endpoint of the PCI device in the sysfs, and then triggered a rescan of the PCI bus as a workaround.

    Maybe something similar could work for your case, depending on how the bluetooth device is connected. Just an idea, not sure if it will work for you, but may be worth looking at.
