If you are not philandering, people are not talking about you anyway.

Young people today call boys who are not popular with girls "virgins" and  
boys who are popular with girls "Chads". The problem is that unless you are  
talking to a young internet user, old people would not understand.


When I was young, we called such unpopular boys "nerds". But then the nerds  
became the rich people, so they became very popular. So I don't think there  
is a word today that is accepted throughout the society to describe unpopular  
boys.


Re: [Trisquel-users] Libre/Open Source Firmware M.2 Wifi Card?

2020-08-20 Thread xliang9550

For a Lenovo laptop that uses M.2 WLAN card, there are many cases:

1, Ivy Bridge based ThinkPad, namely X230s and T431s. There is no Boot Guard  
so the whitelist restrictions can be removed. They have coreboot  
implementations.


2, Normal-voltage Haswell based ThinkPad, including L440, L540, T440p, T540p,  
W540 and W541. There is no Boot Guard so the whitelist restrictions can be  
removed. Some of said models have coreboot implementations.


3, Ultra-low-voltage Haswell based ThinkPad Edge, namely S and E series. They  
support Boot Guard but probably not enabled (by burning the programming  
fuse). It's theoretically possible to support coreboot, and we are working on  
them. For example, I have one S1 Yoga without Boot Guard enabled.


4, Ultra-low-voltage Haswell based ThinkPad (non-Edge) series, including  
X240/s, T440/s, and X1 Carbon 2nd. They have Boot Guard enabled so it's  
impossible to modify the firmware and you won't be able to use AR9462 on  
them.


5, Broadwell based ThinkPad. They have Boot Guard enabled. You won't be able  
to use AR9462 on them.


6, Skylake or newer ThinkPad. They have Boot Guard enabled. But it appears  
that they no longer impose restrictions on WLAN cards. I have a P50 and  
installed an AR9462 in it.


7. IdeaPad or other product lines. I don't use such series, but it seems that  
not all of them have whitelist restrictions.


Therefore it's still possible to make use of the AR9462 card, as long as your  
computer doesn't have Boot Guard.

I know that is an illusion. But there are some idiots who always watch their  
opportunity to visit my home and if I did not take the calls from them, they  
could visit my home while mumbling something incomprehensible words like "I  
was worried about you, so I came" or something. Die. Their purpose is to peep  
or blatantly stare at inside of my home you know and I really, really, from  
the bottom of my heart, want to break off relations with them but if you live  
in a society, it is hard to do that you know. So I need a mobile phone. If I  
could break off those all relations, I would not need such a Pinephone,  
really. Therefore, I want to know how to say the "men who are unpopular with  
girls" shortly in English. Surely, if I did not have a mobile phone, I would  
be able to live a very happier life you know.

I just got my M.2 wifi card that you recommended and apparently my Lenovo  
laptop will not support it. Its an unauthorized device. There seems to be no  
way to get past this unless I use a different BIOS. So, I removed it and put  
it in my spare parts bin to be used for something else -- back to USB wifi I  
go!

sometimes need a mobile phone to call.


That's an illusion put into your head by mobile phone manufacturers and  
service providers.


Billions of people lived a happy life for centuries without mobile phones.  
Most of them did not have internet either.

Those are necessities for ruing stupid x or something others.

Sea lions...
By the way, I am going to avoid more off-topic here though, very sometimes I  
want to use the word "men who are not popular with girls/women". But it  
sounds too long isn't it? I have a lot of times searched how to say the words  
in English shortly but there seems not to be such an useful short adjective.  
Is there a good slung or something? In Japanese, there is. "Motenai" men  
means men who are not popular with girls. Moteru men means men who are  
popular with girls.

How many half cabbages shall I send in exchange for your silence? I would not
