Yeah. I feel like the headline also misrepresented the extent of what happened.

But the firm rejected claims about the extent of the damage caused by the unnamed individual, saying they “contain some exaggerations and inaccuracies”

Is probably the key takeaway and a good summary of what the article is about

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

Was that recently?

It’s more the need aspect you mentioned that I’m talking about. People living with what works or is good enough. I feel like it can be totally be intentional. I imagine a lot of people just sleep with a mattress on the floor because they don’t feel like a bed frame is necessary for example.

Where people draw the line is one of the things I’d find interesting if that makes sense

What would be something homey but not presentable?

I get you. I rarely have other people over. I feel like if I had to start over, like if my place burnt down, I would live more like that

Gotcha. I feel like they might have the recliner there to potentially have easy access to the counter and outlet that’s also nearby

It’s like how a lot of parents these days don’t think their “jailbroken” Firestick is pirating

Would the collection just keep growing or would you delete content? Maybe periodically so if you haven’t watched the new Bettlejuice movie within a couple weeks it would get deleted? Maybe they wouls hold onto stuff until you’ve got it and watched it?

The idea of versioning it with your family stash is neat

Like the post says this isn’t my place it’s a really common meme and meme template. I’m looking for communities of people who live like this.

It’s kind of minimalist but without the stressed cleanliness and lack of all clutter

I feel like that’s 3/4 well furnished full spaces and the last quarter is people posting after getting divorced

It did help me find MaleSurvivingSpace which seems a bit more like what I was describing with people having more of just the essentials without clutter

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

It’s not an issue. Just a meme that’s common and demonstrates kind of what I’m after.

The person who owns that living room might just have gone after a really comfy chair over a couch which might be more typical for example. It feels kind of within the realm of minimalism and more focused on the utility of the space

Thanks but that’s still kind of on the fringe of what I’m looking for. I feel like that’s more about working within the confines of the van rather than living effectively.

Someone trying that might be stuck using a hotplate but they could still have a decent sized mattress and gaming setup for example if that makes sense. It seems more like living densely

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

I feel like that’s a lot of boiler plate stuff. It reminds me of Tom Scott’s video on VPN sponsorships not admitting they can be used as tools for piracy
