Surprised that no one's mentioned David Harvey, who's perhaps the best teacher for those new to Marxism

Security is fundamentally subjective because whatever objective calculus you use will always depend on the threat model at hand, and everyone's threat model is different, i.e. subjective. I've personally lost a physical credit card but never had my card details stolen in 10+ years of using payment apps.

This is the most unhelpful kind of comment where you basically shame someone for having preferences. Why people feel the need to make their callousness public instead of just shutting up, I never know.

This is effectively saying, "This article is correct but for the wrong reasons". People aren't angry about why hundreds of migrants dying isn't newsworthy. They're angry that it's not newsworthy.

I'm frankly surprised that not enough people find it disgusting that the EU passively killing hundreds of refugees is less interesting because the EU does so regularly.

Oh sorry I meant I've seen reports that the voltage issue was due to a few faulty programmers, I've personally never used one.

Interestingly, this video also brings up amps as the root cause, not volts. I might get an Arduino in that case just for more control, but would you say it's beginner-friendly? This would be my first time attempting libreboot (or any kind of chip programming for that matter)..

Thanks a ton. I've been looking into this myself, and it seems like the issue was mostly due to a few faulty CH341a models, and it also seems that newer models allow a toggle between 3.3v and 5v. But reassuring that it's worked well for you too.

I think I might get a cheap multimeter as they can come for less than $10, just to be safe. Could be a good long term investment!
