When I was working for Averitt Express, a trucking company out of Cookeville, Tn, our yard trucks had computers in them (for yard and dock management) that ran Ubuntu. This was 10ish years ago.

And this is why I don’t dual boot anymore. Or run Windows anymore for that matter. Learn to play nicely with others please, Microsoft.
That’s what I thought you might try. Answer is, I don’t know. I think it would depend on what the UEFI does with the secure boot keys when you disable secure boot. From a security standpoint it would make most sense for it to wipe those keys, but I could be wrong. The easiest way to find out if it would cause a problem would be to try it.
If I understand this article correctly however, Windows only requires that the UEFI be capable of secure boot, not that secure boot be enabled.
I think the first thing I would try is to try installing and booting Windows without secure boot. If that fails, than reinstall, this time with secure boot enabled and leave it enabled. Several other comments here are saying that secure boot in linux is now largely seamless and as it has been several years since I’ve mucked about with it, I’m inclined to listen to their recommendation.
Based on the photos of him I just looked at, I don’t think he’s using many if any steroids. From the photos it didn’t look like his body fat percentage was particularly low, probably in the 15-20% range. Just alot of muscle.
Going from 350lbs to his physique is doable. It will be difficult mentally, and it will take a fair while, but it is absolutely doable. Good balanced diet, fair bit of cardio, and alot of heavy weight training.
As for timeline, a safe weight loss rate is around 1-1.5 lbs per week (2+ lbs/week under medical supervision), so figure on 2ish years to drop weight safely. Muscle bulking isn’t my thing, but maybe another 2 years to safely build up muscle bulk. You will want to see a personal trainer, at least for a little while, when getting started to minimize the risk of injuries.
Should be doable either way, but swapping secure boot on and off may cause problems with Windows in your proposed setup. I would pick one and stick with it. I know Linux is compatible with secure boot, I just never bothered to learn how to work with it. If I remember correctly, every time a change was made to the kernel, the keys would need to be reenrolled. This includes whenever the Nvidia driver’s updated.
Might want to read up on secure boot.

The last time I had secure boot enabled on any of my systems was several years ago, but yes. At that time you had to enroll the keys both on the initial install and every update. It was such a headache for limited benefits (for me) that I just started disabling secure boot whenever I was setting up a system.
Things might have gotten easier, but I doubt it as he secure boot system is not really under the control of open source developers (for good reason) and the end user can really only choose whether it is enabled or disabled.
Not necessarily, but doing so will make your life alot easier, especially when it comes time to update the drivers.
I really only run 3 addons in Firefox currently. Chrome is the same but without UBlock.
Sometimes it’s an ideological issue. Some distributions don’t ship nonfree drivers, some do, but require you to manually install them, and some have trouble making up their mind. This last is where you get live cds that automatically load the drivers needed for your hardware, but when you actually install, things aren’t working anymore.
Mine mostly exists as a statement that I exist. It was supposed to be a blog and contact page but I never actually write anything for the blog and nobody ever tries to contact me except for spam.
I get this a lot when I am approaching the end of my endurance, regardless or what I am doing. Maybe it’s normal? I don’t know.
You didn’t say what OS you were running, but if you’re running an iPhone, the original Sonic is in the App Store and is pretty playable on a phone. I also really liked Temple Run.
Just get a Brother. Any of them are fine.
About 6 years ago I somehow (Safety, Maintenance, and Engineering departments never figured out how) managed to get stuck in a robot cage with 4 water jet cutting robots. I have never been more terrified in my life.
One of my coworkers said he had never seen anyone move as fast as when I yanked the safety rip line to kill the machine. Didn’t get hurt, thank god, but found out that adrenaline makes me giddy. Every thing was flipping hilarious for a few hours after they got me out of the cage.
Well, Marshall Mathers in his Slim Shady persona would be interesting. Not sure who I would pair him up with for VP though.
I figure after 4 years of Slim Shady as President, we would either have world peace or the world would be in pieces.
I’m currently using Mint Mobile for internet on my laptop, No issues related to the carrier. Their customer site doesn’t seem to like Firefox much though.
One heads up for anyone looking to use a Mint Mobile sim in their laptop, you will need a modem and software that can send/receive sms. Mint really likes using sms for verification.
I haven’t seen them but it might be a callback to early animation.
To keep costs down and speed up production, cartoons (pre digital animation) would often be animated at around 15 fps, sometimes going as slow as 10 or 12 fps. Each frame was then photographed 2 or 3 times to bring the frame rate up to 24 or 30 fps depending on the media. Robotech, Scooby-Doo, Mighty Max and the original Duck Tales come to mind as examples. Hanna Barbara cartoons were also known for being on the lower end of the spectrum.
I really wish that were entirely the case. The distances I quoted came from safety trainings I’ve had to take over the years. Given my personal experiences during that time, I think they were from before ABS was mandated. And I had a lot of ABS failures when I was OTR and few close calls as a result of those failures. That’s one of the reasons I chose to switch to running a yard truck 5 years ago. Far less stress.
When ABS failed on dry pavement and I needed to stop in a hurry, the affected tandem would tend to lock up and bounce along the ground. Nerve racking and scary when there’s traffic in front of you, but not near as bad as on wet or icy roads. The sheer terror of feeling one of my axles start sliding under me.
If I had one word of advice for drivers new to the industry, it would be to drive as if none of the safety systems on the truck and trailer exist because in my experience they will fail exactly when you need them.
But when they do work they are f-ing magical.
They didn’t care. You know non tech folk, they don’t care so long as it works. If you’re lucky, they know enough to hit the button with the power symbol to turn it on, but make sure you have step by step instructions printed out for those that can’t figure it out. I wish that was sarcasm.
In our location it was mostly used for passive tracking of equipment via a scanner on the roof of the truck and tags on the trailers and we didn’t use the software much beyond that. From what I saw of it, it was some native custom application. Used the default Gnome interface and design scheme of the time. Looked to be pretty idiot proof.
