I don't remember if it's the same error, but I also get an error with etcher. If you have to use it, version 1.7.9 works for me.

Oh cool, I believe only 4bit colours are possible, you can use this table from Wikipedia and the escape sequence \e[<FG>m replacing<FG> with your chosen foreground colour. Also \e[0m to reset everything.

funny how we use the same font XD

Haha yeah! I noticed that too!

I think I just used regex look aheads and look behinds to insert the colours easily.

Edit: Oh you can change that actual TTY font to a bigger one, if the text is too small too.

You can do colours as well!

Most BIOS updates come with a firmware file and a .exe to flash it

Sadly in my case, iy doesn't.

I think they're saying the Windows update file will contain the firmware binary.

You can find Windows update files here: https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=Acer

But you'll probably have to check each update and see if the "Supported Hardware IDs" match some sort of UUID in dmidecode. I'm not sure if those are supposed to match though.

Then there are some generic firmware update tools for Linux that might work, or might brick your laptop.

The unflipped version was also shared yesterday, for those who missed it: https://fedia.io/m/lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world/t/1017044

For ergonomics, the plugin should be able to spot cuts in the video so you can easily select the correct frames.

This shouldn't even be too hard, I doubt YouTube is completely rerendering every video with ads, they'd just insert the ad in before an I frame in the video. So each ad will start with an I frame, and the video will resume on an I frame, meaning just let the user select all the I frames, no fancy cut detection algorithm is needed.

I have no idea how to do this from JS though.

Also I mean video I frames, not HTML iframes.

If you want the latest version of most python apps, I'd recommend using pipx, since it'll create python virtual environments for each app installed, and won't mess with system packages.

WARNING KVM acceleration not available, using 'qemu'

That's related to hardware virtualisation, like the other person said, check that it's enabled.

WARNING Using --osinfo generic, VM performance may suffer. Specify an accurate OS for optimal results.

This is related to --os-variant=generic, I don't remember what Home Assistant OS is based off, but find out and pick an option from virt-install --os-variant list, otherwise use linux2022.

ERROR internal error: Could not run '/usr/bin/swtpm_setup'.

I'm not sure why it's attaching a TPM, but I believe --tpm clearxml=true should remove it.

There's a third one I've heard:

  • Intel VPro (the thing that privacy people disable because runs at a lower level than the OS and does mysterious stuff), is being used to remove the broken file while the OS is booting/crashed.

It also allows users to store dates back to ~1902.

Sigh...

Wait for it to reboot 3 times and automatically enter recovery, Troubleshoot > Advanced Options > Command Prompt, del C:\Windows\System32\drivers\CrowdStrike\C-00000291*.sys

Is the fastest way to do this assuming no bitlocker. Also C: sometimes isn't mounted at C:, you might have to try all the letters between C: and X:, or just boot into safe mode.

IIRC the RTL chip inside them was originally designed for TV, so it works great! I'm actually using very cheap AliExpress clones for the TV ones, because they otherwise don't work very well.

I'm also using the outdoor TV antenna on my roof (common in Australia, idk elsewhere), and a splitter and adaptors. And with that I get every channel with no artifacts, at 30% strength, but that'll probably be higher with not awful SDRs.
