Also if you tap on the ‘kebab’ menu and press View Source, you can copy the message.

Just to freak you out, I’ve played around with the EC on my Framework, and it really wouldn’t be hard for someone to create a modified firmware with a key logger built in or something. But AFAIK the EC doesn’t have internet access or a way to screw with the OS, so it would be mildly pointless without accompanying software.

Modifying the BIOS seems slightly more difficult, although I think some Frameworks are still vulnerable to LogoFAIL.

I wouldn’t worry about extra chips, they’d either be quite noticeable that they shouldn’t be there, or too expensive to be wasted on a stranger.

So the chances are, unless you’ve got some proper enemies, it’s fine. I’d definitely update the BIOS (which also updates the EC), and fresh install Windows/Linux, but that’s as far as I’d go.

I’ve seen some that activate an insane number of breakpoints, so that the page freezes when the dev tools open. Although Firefox let’s you disable breaking on breakpoints all together, so it only really stops those that don’t know what they’re doing.

The DongleHider+ looks pretty good, I haven’t made/used one though.

Total Commander

I’ve started recommending Amaze, it’s free, open source, and easy to use.

Although I still use Solid Explorer for myself, but only because I’ve paid for it and know how it works.

Both have SMB support, since copying files to and from my server is pretty much my only need for a file manager.

Some expansion cards use more power in certain slots.

It also allows users to store dates back to ~1902.

AFAIK fast startup only affects shutdown, clicking restart will always do a full reboot. Shift clicking shutdown will do a full shutdown like you said, but shift clicking restart will start recovery mode.

The CAD files for the Framework 13 have also been out for a few years too.

I’m not sure there is, I think there’s some advanced AMD BIOS settings EFI file floating around but I think it still has the same options.

Are you using the latest version of the BIOS?

Edit: Found the AMD EFI PBS/CBS thing: https://github.com/DavidS95/Smokeless_UMAF

Grub doesn’t actually validate the parameters themselves, but the whole config, so you’ve pasted it into the wrong spot. It should go in the string that follows GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT.

If it still happens, could you post your grub config?

Also some people have had success setting the GPU to game mode in the BIOS too.

Here’s the forum link: https://community.frame.work/t/tracking-graphical-corruption-in-fedora-39-amd-3-03-bios/39073

Trying to use Brave causes freezes and black screen flashes, which I’m pretty sure is a driver thing.

If this is the same common issue, there’s a thread on the forum about it, but IIRC you can add amdgpu.sg_display=0 to your kernel parameters.

I know the drivers come in the distro package manager, but, is there a set straight from AMD?

If you really want, you could try the AMDGPU Pro drivers, but I’m not sure if they’re compatible with integrated graphics if you don’t have the expansion GPU.

In theory PWAs can be configured to run offline, whether they’re doing that I don’t know.

The desktop app looks like it’s electron though.

That’s not really your code, more so you haven’t setup a .gitignore to not commit not your code.

ZLUDA originally only supported on Intel since it was designed by an Intel employee, but AMD hired him to make it work for AMD instead. So in a way Intel is somewhat important here.

And I really should get used to how debian works with su.

I only know because installing sudo is usually the very first thing I do whenever I have to install it haha.

I might be wrong, but I believe Debian ships without sudo, only su by default (or at least if you configure a root password in the setup).

I’ve run kill -9 and similar heaps before, but weirdly this comment reminded me of this: https://youtu.be/Fow7iUaKrq4

Nah, apparently it’s completely valid to end IPv6 addresses with a 0. And I haven’t done much research, but it seems IPv6 really doesn’t have network addresses the way IPv4 does.

Also you can ping them and they reply.

Some discord servers can require a verified phone number, not any I know of, but it can be enabled.
