Linux Couldn't Have Happened Without This Other Man
When you think of Linux you first think of Linus Torvalds and then maybe Richard Stallman for all the GNU stuff but don't forget about what came before Linux...YouTube
Hurd development started early 1991 once the licensing issues with Mach were resolved - so I don't see where he got "years" from.
>Mentions that there could have been all pure 100% GNU/Freedom if Linux didn't exist, but calls that "FOSS".
Nothing from MINIX was actually used in the kernel, Linux - I don't even think it even had an influence on its design - Linus happen to have used MINIX until he got sick of its design and decided to start writing his own OS, but only ever ended up writing the kernel.
>We haven't seen any major ME vulnerabilities
Aside from all the major ones intel has succeeded in covering up.
They deserve another shot.

"The machines, created by American Rounds, offer ammo to be purchased without engaging with a store clerk. They “are accessible 24/7, ensuring that you can buy ammunition on your own schedule, free from the constraints of store hours and long lines,” according to the company’s website. The company states that the machines are equipped with “the latest AI technology” with card-scanning and facial-recognition software to verify the identity and age of each buyer. "
