This assumes that you will have an income of something worth more than the US dollar to pay the mortgage with. If your income continues at the same amount of US$ then your mortgage payment will still cost you the same amount of income, regardless of how the global valuation of the US$ changes.
The plan is coming from inside the (white) house.
Wait until you hear about dihydrogen monoxide…
So it’s possible to have two different GPUs rendering content which is then output to a single monitor at the same time? Could I have a game rendered by a discrete GPU running in a window being handled by an Xorg session rendered by an integrated GPU? Do I understand this correctly? Would it matter if the video output was physically connected to the discrete GPU or the motherboard, or is that configurable?
This is, um… well it’s less fun than a meme. If you were ever curious about the Bosnian War, this is a firsthand account by a journalist who was there.
Place your tribute at the feet of the prince of the power of hot air.
They should labelled as female feet if you want sales.
I thought it was a perfectly peaceful and legal protest? Why would there be undercover FBI agents there?
The Freeze-Frame Revolution by Peter Watts
In The Freeze-Frame Revolution, Peter Watts takes us millions of years into the future and hundreds of light-years away, where an isolated fragment of humanity must confront exotic physics, unfathomable entities, and the unforeseen consequences of their own technologies.
Permutation City by Greg Egan
This book is about a group of humans who build a new world in virtual reality (and the question of whether we are able to avoid repeating the old mistakes).
Self-reference Engine by Toh EnJoe
This book is about humanity and AI… in a very abstract, speculative exploration of consciousness and awareness. The structure of the writing is unusual and stretches what a book can be.
So… are there like, auditors? Does the government pay someone to go around and inventory peoples’ sex toys? Do you have to register your devices? Are they serialized? Do you have to report them on your state tax return?
Who are these people whackjobs that spend so much time thinking about what other people are doing in their bedrooms?
The rental economy calls to us and we must go…
“And thus I clothe my naked villainy : With odd old ends stolen forth from holy writ; and seem a saint, when most I play the devil.”
But it’s all stripey! the data is redundant!
…what other order would you number them in?
It’s ok because the government is going to buy bitcoin.
A literal pipe dream.
This depends a lot on the type/source of the freeze. What were you doing at the time? Are you experiencing regular crashes? What is your hardware like? (laptop/desktop, year, make, model)
Is it just the window manager/desktop environment? Ctrl + Alt + F7 should take you to a different TTY session where you can login and give a reboot command. (actually any F# key should work)
The sysreq keys should always work if the OS is locked up. How are you using REISUB? Do you know what instruction each letter sends? Are you waiting in between pressing them? If using this “borked your PC”, the most likely reason is that your system was busy writing something to the hard drive that is related to the OS and was interrupted. How was it “borked”? Did your bootloader start? Did your OS try to start?
One thing you can do if nothing seems to be responding is tap the NumLock key. If the indicator light changes you know 3 things:
If the light changes then you should be able to tap the power button for a soft reset/graceful shutdown.
If the light does not change then you should first check your keyboard (is it plugged in? is it wireless? does it need a new battery?) but if that’s not the problem then all you can do is force a shut down, because the system is not responding to input.
There are a lot of potential problems that can produce a “freeze”, with the most basic being an issue with the mouse/keyboard or the USB port they’re plugged into. I once thought my computer was freezing because I was using a Logitech wireless mouse that was bound to 2 different USB receivers plugged into different computers, and the input would randomly switch from one to the other (seriously check the simple stuff first). You could also have a problem with your RAM, hard drive, GPU, CPU or motherboard which could each produce symptoms like freezing. If you have regular crashes you should be checking your hardware.
To really answer the question “what can I do?” requires more context, and requires you to do some checking to judge the severity of the crash.
