Uh yeah, I'm pretty sure the discharge can stop your heart if you grab it in precisely wrong manner. Typical defibrillator uses like 50 times less energy, but with a higher voltage.
A capacitor of 1 farad at standard American 120 volts has the energy between 7.62×54 and .50 BMG, and will discharge just as violently.
Creating a kernel is hard, Linux itself is not going anywhere.
If all current maintainers suddenly disappear, several corporations, who heavily depend on Linux, will maintain their own forks, so we will get Google kernel for phones, Amazon kernel for datacenters, Valve kernel for gaming, and probably some European initiative kernel for PCs and laptops to do document editing.
This is a single-component rocket fuel, which means the rocket will not explode in a huge slow-burning red fireball, but detonate like a nuclear explosion, minimal visual effects but maximum shockwave, and a mushroom cloud of vapor.
Universities were already locking down their PCs in the 90's, at least those with competent IT departments - BIOS password, locked boot menu, Windows 2000 with restricted user accounts. If you don't do that, your every PC will have 15 copies of Counter Strike and a bunch of viruses in one week.
Chromebooks (and laptops in general) are way cheaper now than PCs were back then, so again, you need to buy your own and install a proper OS, the situation did not really change.
Are you suggesting to go back to days when every single little thing required a driver on a floppy disk? You buy a Chromebook, you install Denian on it with a few keypresses, your videocard magically works, your soundcard works, your WiFi just connects with no issues whatsoever, you ignore the fingerprint scanner hardware as usual because who even needs that shit when your password is 14 symbols long, and done, you are ready to install a gigabyte of NPM packages to create your single-page web app. Don't tell me Windows 95 was somehow better, it only made your life slower and miserable, just like your Intel i486SX which could not run Quake because it lacked FPU.
The truth is people who want small phones also want them for the price of a clamshell feature phone with no 4G support. I've heard these complaints many times from older acquaintances, they want their old Nokia that can also run Viber and do videocalls, and they are not paying iPhone SE price, so there's practically no market for small but high-spec phones, outside of luxury brands where you are buying an ancient chip with a leather back cover.
What's the total human population again, 8 billion?
I live in an apartment building. The liquor store is on the ground floor.
The ingenuity of this command is that /dev/nul does not exist, the correct path is /dev/null, however the command executes without error and creates a symlink to a non-existing path.
The only thing missing is sudo.
The shop also had regular sprink bottles with the same cologne, but this bottle is shaped like a fuel can, so it looked manlier to me. It contains 80% alcohol, so it's also a disinfectant and an after-shave.
Also works for searches 'Times new roman' and 'Courier new font', but not for 'Lucida console font' or 'Dejavu sans font'.
