For those that want some additional details Brodie Robertson created a video on what was happening 3 weeks ago on how things were going into the lead up to this. Here’s the link. It’s 16 minutes long and kind of funny. It shows how mismanaged things were from the beginning

Could errors during the flashing process be dangerous though or would it just mean trying again until it works?

I’m guessing it’s either an issue with the latency or internal resistance of the wires (as someone else mentioned) so unless I’m cutting and splicing the wires I don’t think that will matter

Because it can be very finicky and I don’t know what the ramifications would be if the wire length did cause issues flashing the firmware.

I would follow the installation steps and make a backup and check that back up but I don’t know how badly errors during the flashing process would effect the laptop.

Plenty of people also seem to use the CH341A unmodified without issue but I don’t know if the 5V issue may cause problems in rare situations or if it’s a complete gamble of whether or not it could brick your device. If it’s only an issue if you do something like jostle the clip while it’s doing something than it would be a lot easier for me to just go that route

I think they were under the impression I want to install Libreboot on the Raspberry Pi. Maybe they didn’t get a good look at the photo or how it was cropped confused them

Correct but it can be used to flash Libreboot on devices like the ThinkPad I mentioned in the title.

I’m asking if this configuration would be effective considering I’ve heard of people having issues with longer wires causing problems. Adding jumpers and a breadboard is just adding to that length.

I’d like to flash Libreboot on my Thinkpad T440P using the instructions from the Libreboot website

That made me smile. Thanks for posting!

I feel like your right about complacency playing a big part.

It does make me wonder if a user of both MacOS and Windows would be more willing to consider using Linux over individuals who have only used Windows. Maybe someone who has used multiple operating systems would be more aware of what could be improved in their computing experience.

That said a lot of people seem to be migrating to Linux because of Windows 11

It is a niche open source social network. I feel like having enthusiastic Linux users is inevitable.

When does this ever happen?

I don’t think so. From my understanding the Bethesda mod workshop has several limitations that would prevent things like using F4SE and ini file tweaks.

If it were added to console I have to imagine it would be in cooperation with Bethesda and involve tweaking the mod. It’s still having stability issue too so all of this would likely be a ways out. It could set a neat precedent of Bethesda being open to fan projects kind of like Valve and Black Mesa.

You could just select a new install location for the game and keep that modded setup as well.

That made me wonder if someone will ever create a Lutris install script for Fallout London

I edited the post to link directly to the trailer rather than the install page. Thought it might be a good idea for those who haven’t heard of it.

You could start with trying to break associations gradually or creating obstacles.

If you smoke inside for example limiting yourself to smoking outside.

If you use a bong only letting yourself smoke because when it’s clean.

Just be wary of replacing it with other habits like alcohol or nicotine.

What does that have to do with this though?

I feel like it wouldn’t be that difficult to largely limit vehicles to a segment of the map. Even if they didn’t want to set a hard boundary like a fenced border with Fallout 4 levels of clutter on the road they could be made impractical for certain areas. I don’t think that would necessarily make the map feel smaller or mess with combat.

I think the big concern though would be people pushing them into locations they were intended like Skyrim horses.

Of course what I was saying though was that I thought horses were canonically confirmed to not exist but it seems like people were misquoting a post on Fallout fandom.

I wonder how many horses would still be around or what other mounts they could go with?

I believe the appearances of horses in the Fallout New Vegas comic was stated to be an error and some of the early games mention they were wiped out.
