Refusing isn’t an admission of guilt. You agree to submit to a chemical test in order to have a driver’s license. The calibrated instruments are considered evidentiary tests, so refusal of either a blood or calibrated breath test results in an immediate revocation of your license, it’s unrelated to whether or not you were sober.

The handheld devices can only provide probable cause to the officer, and they’re usually ripped apart in court. They also only work with alcohol, so if there are any other drugs involved, they need to do a SFST anyway.

The handheld ones can’t be used as evidence in most jurisdictions. SFSTs can be.

I can forgive the ram decision, they’re producing laptops that can be upgraded in the future to keep them from becoming waste, not upgraded using old equipment now.

I actually do have 2230 ssds laying around. I bought a few used computers on eBay to use as servers that had 128gb versions of these little shits in them that I had assumed were 2.5" not m.2. Wouldn’t use them in a new laptop for me, but it’s plenty enough for a school laptop or device that isn’t storing data on that particular drive.

I’m not going to rag on them for going with this form factor, because they are very conscious about their designs, but it isn’t like it’s hard to accommodate a range of m.2 sizes. You just need a little hole you can screw the mounting…screw into. Like, maybe you can’t fit a 2280 in there, but from what I’ve seen 2242 is more common than 2230.

Tentacles. Yes, in that way.

I like to think that I’m a do gooder in general, I usually will always respond to help a timed side quest. FO4 made me question whether or not I was a caring and compassionate person because I did not give a fuck about those settlements after about four calls to help.

Every settlement I would help the first time, set up some turrets, then it was up to them to deal after.

I think what did it was the house with a little farm constantly getting attacked. Three times before I could even get to the next step in a real quest signalled your doom.

Bro, you’re being asked where, not how.

I’m pretty sure Putin played his narcissistic ass like a fiddle in the attempt to destabilize the US in order to win in Ukraine, and it’s paid off so much more than he ever dreamed.

So what are you planning? Which movements do you think are going to accomplish something?

Coward

Sorry to say, this area is absolutely nothing like southern California. The largest populated area in the county is a village of 300 or so people. If you blink driving by, you’ll miss it.

That said, they could slightly adjust their lifestyle and be just fine. Wolves are more important.

I’m actually pretty down with that that. We should be able and ready to produce whatever we need in case another country does what trump is doing or something happens that would prevent trade. If China attacks Taiwan, we should be able to produce our own chips. We should be able to function with as little dependence on other countries as possible.

In no way do tariffs fix that. You invest in yourself, slapping your friends because they’re better than you at something is really fucking stupid.

When did he support genocide?

My Xperia z3c from 2014 would be perfectly fine to use right now if Google didn’t absolutely bloat the crap out of their products and it had an easily replaceable battery. If companies would just support their products for longer or release the sources when it’s out of support i probably would have skipped several phone upgrades. But that’s probably exactly why they don’t.

Yeah, that’s what they said, 20 years or so ago

Well, there’s this which was the first result in a search for me. I would also make sure that you’ve allocated at least 500mb to a uefi boot partition, depending on what you meant by “old”. I have found that sometimes there’s a “secure boot” bootloader and one that just has the distro, but it doesn’t mean the one you expect it to be will work. When you boot up at first I would mash the boot options key and see what shows up, if there’s multiple options try them one by one. I suspect there’s a boot setting in your BIOS that’s not letting it boot properly.

I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around this.

Are they saying that if someone blocks you, you’re essentially shadow-banned in all of Reddit? Or are they saying that you, the person being blocked, can’t see the blockers comments? Can individual comments be blocked and that’s what this is referring to?

I left during the API diaspora and haven’t been back, so I’m perfectly happy not understanding what going on here.

I’d recommend trying to figure out what doesn’t work right between install and liveUSB. 95% of the time in my experience that’s due to non-free packages being available on the liveUSB, but not being enabled during or after install. If your issues are related to a specific component (Wi-Fi, graphics, etc.) then it’s probably something that needs third-party or non-free sources enabled.

There’s some sort of deal where a distro can’t just install non-free drivers due to licensing without you agreeing to use them, so they add a question or option to enable those during install in order to use them. They can have them enabled in the live USB for some reason. You can also do that after install by poking around in your repository selection.

These are pretty simple things to investigate once you’re used to using Linux, but certainly a bit overwhelming for someone new.

What distro are you trying out and what are the issues you’re seeing between preview on USB vs install?

Go for it. You don’t need to install Linux in order to start getting your feet wet. Get a USB 3.0+ flash drive and put a “live” (CD/USB, whatever the distro wants to call it) distro on there. There are plenty of directions out there on how to make one from Windows. Most live distros nowadays are persistent, so any programs you install will be there next time you load it up. It will definitely be slower than a normal install, but it’ll let you get a feel for how things work.

Go ham wild on there, break stuff, see if you can fix it, don’t, then remake it again. Try different desktop environments (DEs) and see what you like. Your distro of choice is less important if you’re just starting, but any of the big ones will be fine. I’d recommend trying a few different DEs from the same distro, see what you like the feel of, then try a different distro with what you liked best. They’ll usually all have gnome, kde, and a third lightweight option, but in my experience if Wayland (the other choice is X11) works well, kde and gnome will feel pretty light. I use kde Wayland on this guy and trust me, this review is giving it a lot of grace. Windows 10 was completely unacceptable on it, so if your specs are any better then this, you’ll be fine with whatever you choose. Beware that Nvidia cards have driver issues, they’re fixable but if you do have an Nvidia card, I’d just use the built in graphics chip for trying out Linux at first.

Don’t start with arch, btw.
