Used DELL 5310. Intel 10th-gen, 60Whr battery (goes 8+ working hours on a charge) often 16GB RAM and at least a 256GB SSD at that price range. Upgradeable (DDR4, NVMe) too.

The average Windows user doesn't care about viruses or malware either. Without any protection, however, it would be foolish to connect such a system online.

Hate Windows because lack of privacy, but note how much security the system has built-in behind the scenes, to mitigate the constant attacks against the most popular desktop OS.

So in that building there's a nonflammable reactant that's super dangerous to life and reacts with water, and a flammable chemical that is quite toxic.

Archived something someone doesn't want to be seen by the world... like any and all since-removed misinformation for one...

Best thing to ever happen on reddit is the guy that posted on askreddit how to set the site language back to English because he accidentally set it to Spanish... and everyone posted their replies only in Spanish.

That was peak reddit.

Wow, Linksys in 2024 still thinks like it's 1998.

Can't do much if the majority rule is blocking all of that.

What's actually happening here is Windows is setting its bootloader first in your EFI when it gets updated. Linux isn't gone, you just have to press the "boot another drive" button and boot to it, or go into your EFI setup and switch the bootloader back to the Linux one.

Linuxes do the same thing when updating their bootloader.

Note for the Ackshually crowd: If you're still booting MBR (which comes with the partition eating risk on dual boots) you have a system that is older than Windows 8 - 11+ years old, so eating the MBR is something you'll have to deal with unconventionally, as all modern systems, OS, and hardware expect you to be using EFI.
