How? You could certainly temporarily break the boot process, but I can't see how you'd completely brick it.

My favorite is when the sssd package maintainers don't properly update their dependencies, so when some of the packages get updated, they don't pull in others, and then I'm not able to log in with my external account.

It depends. I've used a chargeback where I sent a product back for a warranty repair, and the seller stopped responding. The bank just wanted documentation, and they put it through. I imagine you could argue for a chargeback in this case, if you used a credit card.

Also tell the person administering it to do it slowly. In my experience, most of the pain was from them doing it too fast. Something about the fluid stretching the muscle in painful ways before it can spread out, or something.

If electric bikes were the only thing allowed on back roads, you'd never be able to make enough grocery/dump/Tractor Supply runs to have time for anything else in your life.

The monitor seems to be recommending you use mode 1280x1024. Have you tried that?

Either self-encrypting drives (if you trust the OEM encryption) or auto-unlock with keys in the TPM: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Trusted_Platform_Module#Data-at-rest_encryption_with_LUKS

Same. Well, not forced, but using Linux would just make everything more difficult. I like being able to drop to a shell and use a Linux environment with its useful utilities to manipulate stuff on my Windows PC.

Yeah, I could use mingw, but that is a pain, and I can't just apt install stuff.

I can’t just run an extention cord out an open window.

This is exactly what my neighbor does in his apartment.

But he has a driveway, so it's not like he's running it over the sidewalk or anything.

I can't count the number of times I had to do that under ESXi, or do manual vSAN recoveries, so I found myself quite comfortable doing that in proxmox too (especially since proxmox is regular debian).

Google Drive does not count as cloud backup, especially for something business-critical.
