I say "oh, good!" only because I enjoyed falling asleep listening both to the show and to the many debunking videos that came out on YouTube afterwards. My current favorite is the Miniminuteman analysis, which is hilarious.

I've been looking for some new long-form content to sleep to. Now I have something to look forward to!

Also, I'm very tired right now. I'll explain stuff better later when I wake up.

If you'd bought a 2TB you could just dd image the windows disk to the new drive. If you can convince Windows to downsize its partition and then use a partition editor on a USB liveboot to identify the drive sectors you could maybe still image the windows disk. Big "if."

As to the second question, use block IDs-- the filesystem's UUID. Grub is lazy and assumes a single root (the first found) partition so if you want a particular boot entry to use a specific root slice, you'll need to ensure each OS entry in grub uses the right UUID for its kernel root parameter. Loading the right root gets you the rigjt /etc/fstab to mount that root's expected partitions

Honestly you'd be better off running your stuff in VMs. Dual-boot is a nightmare.

Qualcomm Approached Intel About a Takeover in Recent Days in c/technology

I am really not sure how I feel about this. It feels like when Cisco Systems bought Kalpana back in '94 and brought us the Catalyst 3000. So sexy, much disaster. Very bugs.

I really wanted to like that switch. It got better, but so did I.

Where was I?

Oh right: Qualcomm buying Intel. That's not gonna help anything or anyone. Bad idea.

Its ambiguous, but it seems to expresses the speaker regrets not feeling regretful about the topic, as if to acknowledge that one might (and maybe should) sympathize with the other party, but in fact does not.

Depending on the context, it might also merely express that speaker is an asshole.
