Now I'm troubleshooting a laptop keyboard. Among the unresponsive keys: the one that gives BIOS settings access during POST.

@ellied Any points for getting the color to set something on fire before the color is recognized?

Back to repairing the HP laptop. How worried should I be that a replacement CPU has used thermal paste on it that was never cleaned off? It's an AMD.

That SuperCPU I stumbled across sold for $2,524, more than 12 times its original retail price. That's absurd.

@maple I got that once, too, & IDR if it was because of curl or wget.

@monorail I have so many questions about your teacher, and I fear I know the answers to them all. :<

@monorail not to mention being off by about 2-3 decades inre cobol & other early structured languages.

I forgot that the Apple Lisa Office System did this, too, in a much more flexible way. You have to copy the blank template icon to a new file icon, rename & move the icon to where you want it to live, & *then* you can open it to start editing the document.

@zac Maybe. For several years after its adoption by major distros, among the things pulseaudio couldn't do was mix sounds from different applications, things OSS, ALSA, & ESD had been doing reliably forever. Just as with bad systemd design decisions currently, Poettering's inclination was to blame everyone & everything else for not using his code properly.
