  • I am old enough to remember when they only had manual screw drivers and thicker wood screws that needed to be pre-drilled and lubed with soap.

    Go buy a modern “cheap” wood screw. Not a deck screw. An actual wood screw. Pre-drill the correct size hole, including the countersink, and use the correct size manual Phillips screwdriver. You will never strip out the screws.

    Now take a 500 RPM impact driver that has almost enough torque to remove lug nuts, a worn or wrong size bit, and a thin shank screw that was only designed to hold down deck boards and the slightest slip or misalignment and have this photo.

    We all do it because it is fast/easy. Just understand that you are doing things the convenient way instead of the right way, and you have to expect the stuff to sometimes not work aa advertised because of it.






  • Even Nvidia video works out of the box without any additional drivers.

    The thing with Nvidia is that although the default drivers work, they are more generic and don’t take advantage of all of the features and performance of recent cards. Most people would want to load the proprietary drivers from Nvidia to take full advantage of the card.

    Linux would normally include the better drivers, but Nvidia keeps them under a software license that prevents Linux distributions from bundling them.

    Even with this, Ubuntu includes a tool that will download and install these drivers that they can’t


  • You don’t need any internet connection to install Ubuntu. Just use the normal install, not minimal network installer. Install from a USB stick.

    Also, there’s no requirement for a wire either. If that were the case, you could never install on any modern laptop.

    You would need some sort of functioning network to upgrade packages or install anything not in the base image, but this would all be after installation when you have a working OS and wired or wireless won’t matter.



  • Does the group have any archive, mailing lists, ticket system, etc, where they work on and document the work that they have been doing?

    Past questions and answers will tell you common issues, solutions, should point you towards the areas where you need to focus.



  • Lying in court is perjury, which is a criminal offense.

    That being said, making a mistake on something like a date is a valid defense. Trump immediately recanting gives him a good way to claim mistake.

    There’s more value to prosecution to make him seem deceptive and stupid than wasting more time with something like a super weak case for perjury. You also don’t want to give them more ways to draw out and delay the process.
