I didn't say crash explorer and dwm, I said uninstall it.
You said uninstall the taskbar. The only way to uninstall explorer.exe is to delete it and set the shell to something else (or blank). Windows will still boot. DWM isn't responsible for the task bar and has nothing to do with the discussion.
And where would that attribute be stored? On a filesystem? In RAM? I don't know how attributes are handled on other virtual filesystem trees, so I admit to being naive.
BIOS doesn't have parameters in a standardized location. It would be very difficult to have this happen because nobody's going to create a unified filesystem based on wildly different implementations.
Secureboot is only a tiny part of UEFI. BIOS is outdated.
If a motherboard maker doesn't implement a settings screen for UEFI, that's a poor implementation. But a lot of them (most) make one that looks just like what you'd find in BIOS while others make them a pretty GUI with mouse support.
BIOS has a lot of legacy garbage slowing down boot, and it doesn't support boot drives > 2TB.
On at least Windows 7, you can get rid of the shell and it will still boot. You can open task manager with CTRL+ALT+DEL and launch programs. When you minimize a program, it goes down in the corner as a little bar just like it did in Windows 3.1
As late as XP, you could set progman.exe as your shell...which was weird.
UEFI wasn't designed to benefit Linux, it was designed to benefit Microsoft.
Secureboot was designed to benefit Microsoft. UEFI benefits everyone. BIOS is slow booting, tedious, and doesn't hand off to the OS fast enough. And it can't boot drives larger than 2TB either.

It's a little over halfway down the page. You do have to create a DSLReports account if you don't have one in order to download. Just be sure to disable checks for updates or your fix will break as soon as AT&T sees the outdated firmware and updates it.
There is hope for the NVG510. There is a way to enable telnet and bridge mode, and disable updates to the firmware that blocks that hack (you have to download firmware manually first). Yes, they patched the security vulnerability that lets you get it working, but they didn't make it work correctly at the same time.
AT&T has been no help with it. I don't have their service, but I have done work for people who do.
- Allow older accounts...: Ohh you used a free web site longer then someone else. Go pat yourself on the back, and bask in your mountains of participation trophies.
The point is that it's not an account that was run up to good karma recently. I'm not sure "older" has to mean "from the early days. But karma alone may not be enough.
At least hybrid copper / FTTN is a partial buildout of FTTP and should be capable of 20Mbps. It may not be forward-thinking enough, but that's the kind of thing that these should be used for. I worked as an independent (part-time) computer technician during the dial-up days. The Universal Service Fund did not even provide reliable copper in rural country areas. You would pick up a phone and hear a dial tone and also a loud buzzing. And I had to explain to the customer that I can't fix their dial-up. This is the best you're going to get.
My bill has no fees - it's all under one umbrella monthly rate. If 20Mb is more than enough, then you shouldn't have a problem defining broadband at 25Mbps.
The cost is all in the last mile. These are upgrades that the communications companies should be doing anyway. And if you build for 25Mbps, then you won't be going back in 5 years trying to do another upgrade. Does it make sense to make upgrade after upgrade or does it make sense to do one big upgrade for a lower cost all at once?
Even if I'm wrong with b, the wording of the citation is simply wrong.
You did not read the article. I copied and pasted the quote from the article directly. It's not about how much energy you use in digesting it. It's in how much energy is left behind after digesting and passes right through without being absorbed into the bloodstream at all. And this means that 100 grams peanuts have fewer bioavailable calories than 100 grams of those same peanuts ground directly into peanut butter.
Part of the equation is that we've been underestimating the role of "pre-digesting" food by cooking and/or processing in the amount of energy that the human body receives. The other part is the variation from person to person in the intestinal microbiome's consumption of material in the digestive tract. For some, the bacteria may agressively consume calories and their waste products are not usable by the human body. Other bacteria break down food into an easier to absorb form of energy. So even that peanut butter may have more or less bioavailable calories from person to person.
You're missing the point. This isn't just about using out as an effective weight loss tool.
When steak is arguably better for weight loss than chicken, but only when cooked a certain way, you're only getting a false sense of security by generalizing or averaging. The difference between 400 calories and 700 calories (e.g.) is huge and not something you can just average away. We're going to need to rewrite the whole concept of eating less and hope we find a good way of doing it.

I have no idea what you are saying.
Now this won't help if say MSI doesn't care about Linux directly
This isn't Linux-only. It's just easier to exploit. All you need is root/admin and direct hardware access and you can overwrite EFI in-OS.
You could run Windows in a VM or an alternate OS. Or, you could use a wireless bridge device connected to your laptop's LAN port.
Maybe you could write a rootkit to bypass the hardcoded IPs.
But this is really an EFI bug as others have said. Deleting those variables should regenerate with default values, not brick the motherboard.
At least they could make phoning home asynchronous. It would at least hide it better.
No, it appears to be reverse-trolling aimed at APK. For one, it links to a competing HOSTS file engine.
And then the most telling, is this quote:
But the sheer number of constantly-shifting server DNs to block means I couldn't possibly manage such a list on my own.
In other words, if Earth is hit by a massive EMP, we're all screwed. We can't switch to much of a local economy any time fast.

Boot partition? You have no idea what you're talking about.
an rm -rf / will wipe EFI vars as well. The motherboard will not boot anything, regardless of what is on your drives.

You mean like --no-preserve-root?
It was worth my effort to find it again. I've needed it several times and I don't want to lose track of it forever.

They may have a harder time with that here, though. I doubt they will find a lot of capital C consumers here.
That was exactly my thought when reading this quote:
Slashdot Media no longer fits within the Company's core strategic initiatives
I'm pretty sure that's just a fancy way of saying that Slashvertisements do not work.
