To be a good software engineer even in web dev cs is important. I've seen people who didn't do cs and they are obviously clueless about certain things.

it can corrupt data that's in the process of being written. restarting always-on servers can be a huge pain in the ass, depending on what it runs. you'll get some downtime.
it's usually dealt with by UPS, battery backups and generators

Welcome to /fglt/ - Friendly GNU/Linux Thread.
Users of all levels are welcome to ask questions about GNU/Linux and share their experiences.
*** Please be civil, notice the "Friendly" in every Friendly GNU/Linux Thread. ***
Before asking for help, please check our list of resources[*].
If you would like to try out GNU/Linux you can do one of the following:
0) Install a GNU/Linux distribution of your choice in a Virtual Machine using VirtualBox or other software made for this puporse for safety purposes.
1) Use the Live ISO (if your distribution of choice has one) to boot directly into the GNU/Linux distribution without installing anything, that way, you can get to experience the GNU/Linux operating system without installing it.
2) Dual boot the GNU/Linux distribution of your choice along with Windows or macOS, this is recommended if you want to know more about the GNU/Linux operating system.
3) Go balls deep and replace everything with GNU/Linux.

>it doesn't even ask for a pre-boot password by default
So basically a thief can steal your system and get to the files so long as he doesn't move the hard drive out. Why is Microsoft so stupid?

Can someone here give me a general thesis on PC audio? What all the options are, what all the different terms mean, and what are the differences? I know it's a very general question but I'm trying to get my head round all this stuff like DACs, soundcards, amps, receivers etc and what all these terms mean. Like on a basic level what's the difference between advanced setups and someone who just plugs their headphones into the 3.5mm jack on their PC? Or heck what about people listening to the built in speakers on their monitor over HDMI? I hope some of you know about this stuff.

Are there any Freesync/Gsync monitors with accurate color reproduction?
I got a "IPS" Freesync monitor only to find out the colors are washed out as fuck even with proper calibration, and it can't display whites properly. Shit looks really out of whack next to my other monitor.
Pic related, can't even see the squares in red because it's all whited out

How successful are these "wire money to Russia or we take your servers off the internet with DDoS" extortion schemes?
Do most companies just pay up instead of fighting?
What is the possibility that shady companies are paying criminals to attack their competitors?

Welcome to capitalism. If you have money and resources, you can silence anyone and keep them at bay as you get richer.

I'd figure it can successful if they charge less than what the company loses by the downtime.
>>
I'd imagine they're probably very successful until the company uses a CDN to reroute the attack away from themselves

I'm almost sure you are that idiot from yesterday. These threads are not allowed but until it gets deleted, what kind of access do you have to her computer?
If she even uses the same wifi as you, just ARP poison her and redirect her to a phishing page. Do you think normalfags use different passwords?
