I have an ASUS motherboard and recently went through the process of updating the BIOS. One of the things worth nothing is that it is not safe to just get the latest version and try to run EZ-flash. Some of the updates will update EZ-flash as well and those become required for installing later updates.

The download page actually has release notes which specify when a certain BIOS is required, but you basically have to read back through all of them to figure out which ones to install.

Honestly, I was just looking to learn Rust and this seemed like a reasonable project for it. It's small enough that I could conceivably rewrite it in a couple of months and the stakes were low if it didn't work out.

Mostly, I'm just sticking with the Rust implementation now because it has a couple of new features that I wanted. Also, it should theoretically (I have not tested) be able to run on other OSes, since it is built around JACK instead of ALSA.

If you divide the total revenue by the number of HR employees, you will also get a much larger number. (Total revenue / total number of employees) will always be less than (total revenue / subset of employees).

This is not a very good metric.

If you don't pay and they expose your data to the world, doesn't that mean you can effectively get it back without paying?

I don't believe it is accurate to say that nothing happened in the Sony case. They were sued by state governments, the FTC, and faced class action lawsuits. They also incurred the cost of recalling the affected CDs.

I think it's also worth noting that the US does have laws against slander and libel.

I feel like this article missed that the "right to be forgotten" is meant to cover speech that is true.

I'd suggest going to Philly to taste the water ice, but from what I understand it was recently sacked.

This is a major plot element of the 2013 film "The Congress". I highly recommend it.
