Wipe and replace Googlized UEFI with actually serious UEFI: https://mrchromebox.tech/. Then should be able to install at least some distros. Do check "Supported Devices" for UEFI first, though.

I highly highly recommend MrChromebox.

Thought we were getting an official Linux distro to replace the mess that is ChromeOS.

POTUS does product plug. News at 11.

Seems largely an ill thought-out, in light of the comments above, screed against how tech makes us no feel good, which is really about how women, especially women of "color," had it worst.

Nothing in the "apology" letter about this, other than he's a co-signer of said letter. An adult in a PhD program has this level of professional malfeasance doesn't deserve a degree, at least not for some good time of good-behavior shown.

E.g. https://samv91khoyt2i553a2t1s0.... STUDENTS FOR FAIR ADMISSIONS, INC., v. PRESIDENT & FELLOWS OF HARVARD COLLEGE, PETITION FOR WRIT OF CERTORARI.

When you say "makes no difference," you're saying that racial quotas are acceptable. Did you miswrite this?

My issue is that, based on merit, using admissions tests as the measure, Asians are highly discriminated against. This is not about racial bean-counting, as you've taken what I've said as, mistakenly.

HS GPA doesn't have much weight, due to significant grade-inflation. Hence, heavier reliance on admissions test scores.

...college success. Asians score best overall on such tests. Already, Harvard, Yale, etc., think they have too many Asians. So this is basically more anti-Asian sentiment transparently masquerading as merit-based adjustments.

It is untrue that a "person in rural upstate NY" would have no "broadband service" available. There is satellite internet. Yes, it's slower and more expensive, but you can't choose to live way outside of the major population centers, then expect to have all the amenities of those population centers. You're not going to get four grocery stores or a major hospital either. Which has to be more "essential" than internet.

And it really, really, really didn't like black people.

Ok, you're right that principles qua principles are not inherently good or bad. And you're right, rent-seeking corporations hate competition. I'm 100% free-market. Most capitalists are more statist than not. With a free-market, would Amazon be anywhere as large and successful as it is now? Almost certainly not. But whether it's a small cartel trying to squash competition, or an industry behemoth playing crony capitalist, that's wrong, and I fully oppose it. Those are my principles.

Oh, no, vuglar one. I'm actually pretty pissed at Amazon overall. I just have principles.

Thanks, I think.
