The hand-etched apology will not appear on the company’s actual devices come global launch

Luckily the article addresses this.

Other then legacy and uefi does it have a CSM compatibility support mode? An option to enable usb initialisation before bios? Eg wait for usb initialisation?

Some "boot faster" options kind of reorder boot initialisation to a point where it's not holding the system back.

Though I'm really running out of suggestions.. I can imagine you're pretty frustrated. I know my Dell laptop was a pain to get the right settings to get usb to boot and the stupid 100db beep to silent on boot interruption.

And you probably confirmed that live boot worked too I assume.

In the actual bios, can you see a boot order and see uefi for Windows/whatever is on your internal disk? But not any other entries?

I suggest a few more things:

Try a different brand usb. Different motherboards sometimes don't support some usb brands. In fact, a Lenovo server I rebuilt refused to boot off certain usbs.

Some motherboards don't initialise boot off some usb ports. Sometimes the additional ports are on another controller and initialise too slow.

Just try a straight working Ubuntu live boot usb to remove any ventoy from equation. Ubuntu has real signed uefi (and no shim) granted by Microsoft. I think that's how it works, uefi is a mess.

Try to start isolating all the different factors, and there could be more. It doesn't necessarily mean anything definitive if it works on another machine.

I was using trillion in 2000 until I think the freeware started suggesting pro on 2002 and moved to pidgin from then until MSN messenger stopped working one day meaning messengers I had back then got fragmented. I stopped using all messengers shortly after.

Hearing news about pidgin is like a blast from the past.

Watched mentour pilot YouTube about this a bit ago. It's just sad. I recommend the watch if you're interested in the story.

I just asked google that exact question and it said "The current world population is 8,171,661,997"

Are you a teacher?

The application yes, but the programmer? That requires network, api and a sent packet or more.

Just because you run a binary doesn't mean a server across the Internet knows you.

Users though, disregard my advice. Assume what you run is running foreign remote code that could encrypt and ransom you.

I bet to Japanese people it'll age weirdly with the references it kept making to politicians and actors of the time.

I really enjoyed it when it wasn't trying to be a shonen jump anime. My favourite episodes like the Nabe Shogun bottle episode, or the several lazy animator episodes either with the drawing quality rock bottom or the paralysis with no animation at all.

I used to watch it on a service called something like animeftw or something that's no longer around on an xbox xbmc setup. So much nostalgia when I see screen caps.

Hmm, so, policy in our office is a clean desk. Before you jump to conclusions, it's because our secured area and office occasionally has people come through that should absolutely not see what information we have on our desks. This requirement is a compliance issue for our continued contracts and certifications.

Our work from home policy hasn't addressed this issue, but it sounds like it's a clear gap. Your neighbour coming around for a cup of tea absolutely should not be able to see any work related information.

My assumption is that someone has considered this kind of aspect and had a check to confirm that they've done diligence by asking you to reveal your working space. A space the companies sensitive information would be visible. Actually you too should maybe not be looking at your wife's screen nor materials on her work desk. Depending on the situation.

Either way, policy comes first so perhaps her employment agreement or employee handbook would reveal more.
