I can sudo. Last time I looked into this, Memtest86+ version 6 was required to work with UEFI but it wasn't available for Ubuntu 22.04. Now it seems that 24.04 has it, so I might update and see if I can get the test running. Thanks for the suggestion!

I can't run memtest unfortunately. The option isn't there and I don't have permission to boot from a USB stick.

It's not hard to reproduce, but it's annoying that when they finally came here to check it, no problems happened. I had to bug them so much to even get them to have a look.

That example sentence would function exactly the same if it was separated by a period; nothing is gained by using a semicolon. No new information is added; you are just going to make people wonder why there is a semicolon there making the sentence less comprehensible.

FTFY. You aren't supposed to separate two independent clauses with a comma.

You are completely right, and the Open Science movement is catching on. The idea is to give everyone access to the (anonymised) data and use only tools that are freely accessible, even to scientists from developing countries without Microsoft licenses, so that they too can rerun your analyses and verify your results. You shouldn't be getting downvoted.

Seriously living in the worst timeline.

It really doesn't get any worse than people downvoting our posts or saying they don't agree with us when we post things on the Internet for other people to read. So much bullying! I say we should go back to the good old times when people who felt insulted, whether the insult was real or imagined, would challenge you for a duel at sunset in front of the saloon.
