Just came across this beautiful video of Richard Feynman.

That’s not how physics works. If you are really interested in such issues read a book on foundations of physics or history of physics to see how physicists arrived at the most famous equations (Einstein,Dirac, Schroedinger or Newton), they are basically “bets” guided by physical and mathematical assumptions, but that is far from being “proved” or “derived”, there are no rigorous proofs or derivations involved. The uncertainty remains until an experiment or observation confirms it or rejects it. There’s no such a thing as “proving” a physical theory, for the simple reason that any physical theory works in a limited regime or range of validity. Newtonian gravitation and General Relativity are both valid and succesfull theories within their range of validity, but they contradict each other mathematically, in one theory gravity is a scalar field and in the other is a tensor field, so you could use the mathematics of one theory to refute the other, so it makes no sense the concept of proving a physical theory mathematically. You only try to axiomize a theory once is well established, but it’s irrelevant concerning its validity.

“The bonus of string theory is that it has the tenets of a unified theory of all interactions, electro-magnetism, weak and strong interactions, and gravitation” https://arxiv.org/pdf/0809.1036

You have no idea what you are talking about. You can’t prove mathematically Einstein’s equations. No fundamental equations in physics were proved mathematically.

I am a physicist. String theory already unified QFT and GR and that doesn’t mean it’s a verified physical theory, you need to validate it through experiment. It’s physics 101. Just watch some Sabine H. videos to see how she speaks about string theory being a failure besides being mathematically consistent.

Although the theory is promising, the duo point out that they have not yet completed its proof

Physics is not math, you can’t “prove” a physical theory. You make predictions and through experiment or observation Nature has the last word.

A center in two dimensions, in three dimensions an axis, in more dimensions…

I’ve been using Debian with KDE Plasma for over a decade and I can count the crashes with the fingers of one hand.

Here you can find hardware for linux that requires no proprietary driver or firmware, in your case is ASUS BT400. I was in the same situation as yours so I bought it and it works.

Here you have all the packages you can install for specific purposes grouped by categories

commands.txt every command with a one line description and a separator.

The idea is to restore Windows to the same laptop in case I want to sell it, so it shouldn’t have any issues, right?

What are the pros of using Clonezilla instead of dd, in terms of simplicity the command that I wrote it’s hard to beat.

Great, I didn’t know that you can make a checksum of a drive. Thanks.

mpv --ytdl URL. Read starting from --ytdl option in the mpv man page, you can even give specific yt-dlp options through --ytdl-raw-options.

Yeah that’s it! Thanks very much!

Good point. I was confused because my other headphones when they are in pairing mode a blue light flashes repeatedly, but after reading the manual for the XM5 this means that are not connected not that they are in pairing mode, and as you said for pairing mode you have the press the power button for 5 seconds, the problem is that when I do that the headphones shutdown, May be there is an option to change that, I will check it out.

Because learning Linux takes time, I’ve been using Linux and the command line many years and it’s the first time I come across that command. I even made an alias for ‘history | grep’ to search for commands in history 😂

That’s another great option, thanks.

Awesome!
