It is AI slop to partly solve a problem. Laptop Keyboards were not getting tested (my fault as our checklist only has so much space on the double-side printed page), so I gamified it a bit (this will eventually be scripted into our post-install script). Lots of debugging to fix issues that were not present on the development machine: https://chaslinux.com/posts/keyboard_tests_gamified_keyboard_novelist/

My better half and I were at our friend&#39;s place last weekend and they asked me about recovering a bitlockered drive.

The system boots to the NVMe, then looks for any drives with .kzi files (ideally SD cards, but a USB key worked). It booted right into my game. Pretty awesome stuff. Now I just need to start making games for Linux again.

This SSD was pulled from a recent donation to be wiped. It showed up in Parted Magic as a Samsung EVO 960 (not 870). When I went to wipe it (normally less than 2 minutes), Parted Magic indicated it was going to take over 65,000 minutes to wipe! It turns out it&#39;s a fake drive, made to look like a Samsung drive. I had a bunch of other Samsung SSDs wiping with it and yes, they all look different. This one isn&#39;t labeled Samsung anywhere (nothing on the bottom - though it looks like s...

This ASUS Chromebook&#39;s updates ended in 2022, so I removed the screw that write protects the BIOS, followed the Mr Chromebox steps to install Coreboot on it, then I installed Debian + XFCE... It took just over 4GB of the 16GB m.2 2242 SSD.
