DiLinux. You drop a bunch of files in a fat16 folder, and run a chainloader that chestbursts out of DOS. It used the umsdos filesystem, which was a short-lived thing that lived on FAT and scribed all of the other needed fs features into bonus hidden files.

I don't think that you're losing any power with the "usb ports powered" option on. It's just there if you want to use your (sleeping) laptop as a $1000 power bank to charge your phone.
Personally, I turn it off just because I would rather use a $20 battery pack instead of wearing out my laptop.
You're right, the post should have been nothing but a link to X
The more EA adds "in-kernel rootkits" to their games, the more powerful Linux becomes.
Hey, at least my feelings are accurate
If you're not using "vampire taps" to connect your X-Server to your computer, you're doing it wrong.
Could be a neutrino strike.
(Or it could be an N64 memory expansion pack being flaky because damn they were flaky. It doesn't matter that your game isn't actually using the extended memory, it's still shitting all over the RAMBUS).
Read the fine print on that agreement
Thanks for doing the work!
When you put the results like that, with 2 to maybe 4% gains, I'm definitely going to pass on undervolting my deck. Back when I had a C2D Macbook - yeah you had to undervolt that sucker to make it usable. But now I will happily leave a 4% boost on the table so that I never have to consider whether a crash came from the undervolt.
The only limitation that I ever saw was - if you're using a USB-C to USB-A cable to connect to your charger, the deck will say "charging slowly" while pulling absolutely nothing. It will only pull USB-C PD power. If you have a huge battery bank that can put out tons of 9v power on a quickcharge A socket, too bad.
I got a pair of these little Scosche cubes for under $30 at Costco. They're about 3cm³, non-folding. It's pretty amazing to have 30w in about the same package as an Apple 5w phone charger.
Other than this, my favourite charger to tuck in the deck case is a folding, flat against the wall 45w puck that is thoroughly discontinued.
We are well into the age of "OEMs dgaf if S3 works". Windows has not used it since sometime around 7, so it's been bitrotting in every vendor's firmware. With some models, you may have S3 working on day one, but a firmware update kills it and that's too bad.
S0ix idle is actually quite nice when you get it working, but when it is not the tools to diagnose it are terrible. The terminology around sleep states are also terrible, (what's a package or core or platform C state? Could one of them find a different letter?). I have gone over the arch wiki, and DELETED Intel documents so many times…
