  • It’s a weird moral grey zone. Everyone has forgotten the hundreds of people Boeing murdered as a result of their desire to skirt modern safety regulations. I just flew my family across the country yesterday on one of these end-stage-capitalism products for lack of any other option.

    Were I to be ash this morning, I would be forgotten too.

    But if astronauts were killed, maybe the outrage would finally be enough for all the greased palms to be sheepishly shoved in pockets just long enough to get justice, ground all those affronts to safety, and jail enough executives to maybe make Boeing stop being a global safety risk and a national security concern.

    Your battery probably isn’t supplying sufficient voltage and your laptop is compensating. It is almost random chance in getting a good battery for a machine of that vintage. Using Linux will likely cause unexpected power off at low charge states.

    Your best bet is to return that battery to the vendor and try another battery from another supplier.









  • RHEL isn’t considered best practice by anyone except paranoid enterprise shops that want a support contract above an actually up to date distro and kernel.

    RHEL’s packages were so out of date you often had to go to unofficial sources just to get something close to recent. It’s less important now with Docker, but it was a pain in the ass to do lots of Docker stuff on RHEL in the early days when compared to Ubuntu due to missing kernel features.
