Comment Re:Microsoft still looking for a CrowdStrike to bl (Score 1) 144

I had a Lenovo X1 motherboard replaced and it took me hours to find instructions (mostly via IRC) on how to update efivarfs for the new motherboard so GUB would see the existing Ubuntu partition. I think most people were just doing an Ubuntu reinstall (factory reset) instead of using the clean solution of updating efivars.

Journal Journal: Verbiage: Correlation does not connote causation 5

I just read a comment: "Correlation does not connote causation." A search found the more common adage uses "imply" instead of "connote". Though, they are somewhat synonymous.

Anyway, that seems wrong. I mean, the whole point is that it does indeed imply causation. That's why we need to remind people that it does not equal causation.
