- | I was listening to a podcast and the presenter was saying that the whole thing they described was just an urban legend. However, urban legends are sometimes grounded in fact (and I happened to know this was solved via reddit and was a case of bush telephone). And while *that particular version may be untrue, that does not mean everything is untrue. I mean, I am living proof that some of those “urban legends” actually happened. Let me start simple, in the early 90s, I was sub-contracting for IBM. A ticket was logged for faulty CD Rom drive (and keyboard); long story short, the user thought it was a coffee cup holder and broke the tray by putting a really large cup of coffee on it and spilling all of said coffee into the keyboard. Case two, though nobody died (versions of this one I have heard), there was a case at a hospital where a ticket was logged for incomplete data and outages, where a cleaner would unplug medical equipment and computers to plug in a floor polisher. This happened again about 2017/2018 in a semi-government office where a worker unplugged the power to a nine-u cabinet, containing switches, to plug in a heater (during summer, I kid you not!). Now if you know government, they then log a ticket to their local IT who are too lazy, then log a ticket to a third party, and when they arrive a few days later, all is working again. Case three, not a ticket, but a warranty claim, someone who’s intranet kept going off-line, but when they went to inspect it, it was always running, because the person going to look, always moved the mouse to wake it up. So whenever I hear the phrase, “oh, it’s an urban legend”, where the person discards it outright, I usually discard that person outright. | + | **I was listening to a podcast and the presenter was saying that the whole thing they described was just an urban legend.

Q: I am considering trading in my laptop for another laptop via Cash Crusaders to upgrade my 1st generation i3 to something with a discrete graphics card. I’m so over the intel graphics tearing, trying to watch something. Thing is, I know the newer Intel chips have flaws like Meltdown and Spectre, that slow the machines down a lot. The machines in the shop all have windows, but I take my Ubuntu with me to check compatibility. I know you can turn the mitigations off, but can I see from a live image if they are on? | Q: I am considering trading in my laptop for another laptop via Cash Crusaders to upgrade my 1st generation i3 to something with a discrete graphics card.
