3·9 days agoMy apologies, I conflated it with something else they embedded into UEFI around the same time. Lenovo Service Engine had security vulnerabilities and couldn’t be removed with a fresh Windows install, as UEFI would just execute it at startup.
I’ve had a few false starts with Linux. I’ve tried a couple different distros here and there over the last 20-ish years, but I never make it more than a week before falling back to Windows. That said, I hate Microsoft’s direction, and I’m holding onto Windows 10 as long as I can.
62·9 days agoFor conventional weapons, sure. But I don’t think your description fits flamethrowers, sonic, or laser weaponry.
I permanently wrote off Lenovo after the Superfish factory-installed BIOS-level malware scandal.
7·13 days agoI think you’re reading into it a little too hard. I don’t suspect an optional mode based on what’s written there. Those power specs come from the USB Power Delivery 2.0/3.x standards. There’s 9 Volt USB PD that can supply 27 Watts at the 3 Amp ceiling, and the next step up is 15 Volt USB PD that can supply 45 Watts at 3 Amps. Since a 45 Watt charger is the one that’s recommended, I don’t expect heat issues there.

It was my understanding that a shilling was 1/100 of a pound sterling.
OP didn’t show work, and I don’t know how they arrived at the numbers they did.
If we handle inflation before exchange:
15 shillings is £0.15.
£0.15 in 1843 is £16.64 today.
£16.64 is $22.22
$22.22/week is $1155.44/year.
If we handle exchange before inflation:
15 shillings was $0.72 in 1843
$0.72 in 1843 is $31.52 today
$31.52/week is $1639.04/year

Hydroelectric, solar, wind, tidal, ICE generator…
Surely not nuclear, coal, or natural gas power pants with steam generation cycles.

No, they have a plan to automate the destruction of the environment after our demise.
I’m perfectly fine identifying cars that have proper names, but the mid-luxury brands (BMW, Mercedes, Lexus, Infiniti, etc.) eschew names for alphanumeric gibberish. I can’t be arsed to remember all their numbering schemes. And Teslas largely look the same to me unless they look distinctly like a dumpster. I can’t tell an S from a 3, or a Y from an X.

I tried to sanity-test the math here running the same calculations on a 700 kg horse, of which around 50% mass is muscle.
700 kg x 50% = 350 kg
Low:
350 kg x 100 W/kg = 35,000 W
35,000 W / 746 ≈ 47 hp
High:
350 kg x 200 W/kg = 70,000 W
70,000 W / 746 ≈ 94 hp
Despite what the term “horsepower” would seem to suggest, a horse can actually output more than one horsepower. Estimates put peak output of a horse around 12-15 hp. By those numbers, even the low end estimate above is around 3-4x too high. We’re gonna need more dogs.
38·2 months agoYes, it’s called a hysterectomy. Around 600,000 people get them per year in the US, so very common.
The only game I’ve played that I specifically recall having that is BattleBit Remastered. I think DayZ (ARMA mod version) had it, but I haven’t touched that in a decade and couldn’t be sure.
