Because I didn’t even know that was an option until I read this thread. I would need to check what my BIOS supports. This is a recent Gigabyte motherboard and latest BIOS, so I imagine you can do it. Thanks for the tip.

The Corsair software allows you to create a custom curve for fan speeds by CPU temperature, which I use. It also has a lot of temperature and speed monitors which are sometimes useful, and RGB effects, which I never use. I believe there are others ways to achieve the fine grained control of fan speeds in Linux (or maybe the BIOS), but it is something I would need to get to grips with before considering moving to Linux.

I would like to try Linux Mint, but there are no Corsair drivers for my CPU AIO cooler. There are workarounds, but it is not ideal. It is a choice between how much Windows annoys me compared to the lack of hardware support in Linux. Currently Windows is still winning. Maybe when Windows 10 is out of support I will switch.

So, common tittle-tattle is now technology news?

Yes you are right, that is how I have to do it - I got it the wrong way round in my previous post. I enter the numbers into the app on my phone.

That does not sound right. They should be promoting you to enter the number on the device where you initiated the authentication, not on your phone; at least that is how it works for me when I connect my company laptop to VPN - I have to use MS Authenticator on my phone, which shows a number (protected by two biometrics), which I then have to enter on my laptop.

The big luxury watch brands will service their watches for many decades; a Rolex will last a lifetime, if not longer.

Sorry, I had not seen that particular accusation from “Alice”, but the story is evolving and there are many people coming forward with different allegations.

I fully support them being illegal, why would you think that would be bizarre to me?

I merely pointed out, in the case of the 16 year old schoolgirl, she was not legally underage, no matter how shocking and disturbing we may find Brand’s behaviour, which I do. I don’t think she has made any claims of rape or assault against Brand, but others have. I don’t know what laws, if any, apply to his treatment of her, but I don’t think underage sex is one of them.

If we think something is already illegal when it isn’t, then it reduces the incentive to change the law - why make something illegal when you already think it is? Possibly the UK needs new legislation to vary the age of consent depending on the participants, as in other states.

16 is not underage in the UK, where this is alleged to have happened.

I am not sure. This was mostly a case of human error in not properly securing urls/storage accounts. The lack of centralised control of SAS tokens that the article highlights was a contributing factor, but not the root cause, which was human error.

If I leave my front door unlocked and someone walks in and robs my house, who is to blame? Me, for not locking the door? Or the house builder, for not providing a sensor so I can remotely check whether the door is locked?

So much time and money being wasted on pseudoscientific bunkum.
