Dual Boot dilemma
Hello there,
I just want to buy a new gaming system, laptop, because I want to be mobile. There is only one game I cant give up that is league of legends. So I'm searching a manufactor, which can handle dual boot perfectly. I mean everytime I boot into windows and want to reboot into linux again, so my entry is gone (refind, systems and grub). Maybe there is a brand which separate two OS Hardware wise or has a BIOS espacially for such a case?

BYD's Profit Margin Looks Quite Good Amidst Price War Allegations - CleanTechnica
A hot topic in the EV world lately has been a reported “price war” controversy in China, and perhaps extending a bit beyond that. Some automakers have contended that BYD is engaged in an extreme, destructive price war.Zachary Shahan (CleanTechnica)
Linux and Foss Signal Group Chat
My friends and I are hosting a Linux and FOSS group chat to have some casual chat, help, and anything related to the topic really. We chose this platform to chat on to keep a privacy preserving way to engage with one another.
I really have no idea why everyone is bashing Signal so much here. None of the concerns listed seem even slightly technical.
The only problem I have with signal is that it is:
A. Centralized (which isn't explicitly a privacy concern, but a control concern in-line with linux and foss)
B. Requires a phone number to register.
It is quite private in spite of that, and goes to great lengths to achieve that privacy. It is what I see people in the security community consistently suggest.
However, if this is a public group, are we to really be that concerned about many of the considerations Signal tries to tackle? Worst case scenario a bad actor simply enters the chat and backs everything up.
It seems like our threat model is moreso in the way of general surveillance economy concerns (and perhaps to have a slightly less public entry).
In this case, point A and B become even more glaring! Why not something like an E2E encrypted Matrix chat?

This is why I think China’s bet on renewable energy technology, manufacturing, and infrastructure is going to be a major geopolitical advantage for them in the coming years. You can’t conceivably cut China off from the sun, wind, and rain. Their major weakness is still going to be a naval blockade that could cut them off from access to raw materials. However, they’re also addressing that issue as well through various sustainability initiatives and military capacity.
The US however is playing the same old game of trying to control the world’s fossil fuel supply. However, they’ve done nothing to hedge against the inevitability that renewable energy will devalue fossil fuels almost entirely. They’re structurally incapable of doing anything else and it’s going to bite them in the ass.

A woman tried to call her mom in Iran. A robotic voice answered the phone
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — When Ellie, a British-Iranian living in the United Kingdom, tried to call her mother in Tehran, a robotic female voice answered instead.“Alo? Alo?” the voice said, then asked in English: “Who is calling?” A few seconds passed.
“I can’t heard you,” the voice continued, its English imperfect. “Who you want to speak with? I’m Alyssia. Do you remember me? I think I don’t know who are you.”
Ellie, 44, is one of nine Iranians living abroad — including in the U.K and U.S. — who said they have gotten strange, robotic voices when they attempted to call their loved ones in Iran since Israel launched airstrikes on the country a week ago.
They told their stories to The Associated Press on the condition they remain anonymous or that only their first names or initials be used out of fear of endangering their families.
Five experts with whom the AP shared recordings said it could be low-tech artificial intelligence, a chatbot or a pre-recorded message to which calls from abroad were diverted.
It remains unclear who is behind the operation, though four of the experts believed it was likely to be the Iranian government while the fifth saw Israel as more likely.

Forefield of the Athabasca Glacier, Banff NP, Canada
Hiking along the glacial till in the large bowl of the Athabasca glacier leaves one filled with awe. This short route takes you to a nice viewpoint in the location of the glacier in 1996 before turning back around or advancing on another trail. I combined this trail with a small section of the Boundary trail that took me to that super sketchy crevasse. Also pictured with the other trail photos is a collection of the markers for where the glacier was located in 1996, 1948, and 1844.
Crumbling snowpack spans the outflow of the Athabasca Glacier, which may be seen in the background. Small from distance, the vehicles that drive up to the glacier may also be seen along with their tracks.

‘Martyrdom or Bust:’ Texas Man Caught Plotting Terror Attack Through Roblox Chats
Full text to avoid paywall:
The FBI has accused a Texas man, James Wesley Burger, of planning an Islamic State-style terrorist attack on a Christian music festival and talking about it on Roblox. The feds caught Burger after another Roblox user overheard his conversations about martyrdom and murder and tipped them off. The feds said that when they searched Burger’s phone they found a list of searches that included “ginger isis member” and “are suicide attacks haram in islam.”
According to charging documents, a Roblox player contacted federal authorities after seeing another player called “Crazz3pain” talking about killing people. Screenshots from the server and included in the charging documents show Roblox avatars with beards dressed in Keffiyehs talking about dealing a “greivoius [sic] wound upon followers of the cross.”
“The witness observed the user of Crazz3pain state they were willing, as reported by the Witness, to ‘kill Shia Musilms at their mosque,” court records said. “Crazz3pain and another Roblox user[…]continued to make violent statements so the witness left the game.”
The witness stayed off of Roblox for two days and when they returned they saw Crazz3pain say something else that worried them, according to the court filing. “The Witness observed Crazz3pain tell Roblox User 1 to check their message on Discord,” the charging document said. “Roblox User 1 replied on Roblox to Crazz3pain, they should delete the photograph of firearms within the unknown Discord chat, ‘in case it was flagged as suspicious…the firearms should be kept hidden.”
According to the witness, Crazz3pain kept talking about their desire to commit “martyrdom” at a Christian event and that he wanted to “bring humiliation to worshippers of the cross.” The Witness allegedly asked Crazz3pain if the attack would happen at a church service and Crazz3pain told them it would happen at a concert.
Someone asked Crazz3pain when it would happen. “‘It will be months…Shawwal…April,’” Crazz3pain said. Shawwal is the month after Ramadan in the Islamic calendar. The conversations the witness shared with the FBI happened on January 21 and 23, 2025.
Roblox gave authorities Crazz3pain’s email address, name, physical address, and IP address and it all pointed back to James Wesley Burger. The FBI searched Burger’s home on February 28 and discovered that someone in his family had put on a keylogger on the laptop he used to play Roblox and that they’d captured a lot of what he’d been typing while playing the game. They turned over the records to the feds.
“The safety of our community is among our highest priorities. In this case, we moved swiftly to assist law enforcement’s investigation before any real-world harm could occur and investigated and took action in accordance with our policies. We have a robust set of proactive and preventative safety measures designed to help swiftly detect and remove content that violates our policies," a spokesperson for Roblox told 404 Media. "Our Community Standards explicitly prohibit any content or behavior that depicts, supports, glorifies, or promotes terrorist or extremist organizations in any way. We have dedicated teams focused on proactively identifying and swiftly removing such content, as well as supporting requests from and providing assistance to law enforcement. We also work closely with other platforms and in close collaboration with safety organizations to keep content that violates our policies off our platform, and will continue to diligently enforce our policies.”
Burger’s plan to kill Christians was allegedly captured by the keylogger. “I’ve come to conclude it will befall the 12 of Shawwal aa/And it will be a music festival /Attracting bounties of Christians s/In’shaa’allah we will attain martyrdom /And deal a grevious [sic] wound upon the followers of the Cross /Pray for me and enjoin yourself to martyrdom,” he allegedly typed in Roblox, according to court records.
The FBI then interviewed Burger in his living room and he admitted he used the Crazz3pain account to play Roblox. The feds asked him about his alleged plan to kill Christians at a concert. Burger said it was, at the time, “mostly a heightened emotional response,” according to the court records.
Burger also said that the details “became exaggerated” but that the goal “hasn’t shifted a bit,” according to the court records. He said he wanted to “[G]et the hell out of the U.S.” And if he can’t, “then, martyrdom or bust.”
He said that his intention with the attack “is something that is meant to or will cause terror,” according to the charging document. When the FBI agent asked if he was a terrorist, Burger said, “I mean, yeah, yeah. By, by the sense and … by my very own definition, yes, I guess, you know, I would be a terrorist.”
When authorities searched his iPhone, they discovered two notes on the phone that described how to avoid leaving behind DNA and fingerprints at a crime scene. A third note appeared to be a note explaining the attack, meant to be read after it occured.
The list of previous searches on his iPhone included “Which month is april in islam,” “Festivals happening near me,” “are suicide attacks haram in islam,” “ginger isis member,” “lone wolf terrorists isis,” and “can tou kill a woman who foesnt[sic] wear hijab.”
Burger has been charged with making violent threats online and may spend time in a federal prison if convicted. This is not the first time something like this has happened on Roblox. The popular children’s game has been a popular spot for extremist behavior, including Nazis and religious terrorists, for years now. Last year, the DOJ accused a Syrian man living in Albanian of using Roblox to coordinate a group of American teenagers to disrupt public city council Zoom meetings.

in reply to Fanmion • • •if you get a coreboot compatible laptop you can burn GRUB into your firmware so that it can't ever be destroyed by windows.
Then you can boot into linux by having GRUB load the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file in your linux FS, or load windows by chainloading into another payload in firmware (e.g. SeaBIOS) that can load windows.
This is kinda advanced though, and there is a big limitation in that you can only run BIOS (not UEFI) because EDK2, which is the only coreboot payload that can do UEFI can't be chainloaded into from grub
𞋴𝛂𝛋𝛆
in reply to Fanmion • • •The UEFI boot system is tricky and you need to get along with Secure Boot to do this. Secure Boot is outside of the Linux kernel. Both Fedora and Ubuntu have systems for this. Fedora uses the Anaconda system and I believe they do it best. I have had a W11 partition for 2 years and never used it once. It can't even get on the internet with my firewall setup, but it is there and never had any issues the 3 times I logged into it.
I think all of the Fedora systems support the shim key and secure boot but I know Workstation does. For Ubuntu I think it is just the regular vanilla Ubuntu desktop that the shim supports. This may be somewhat sketchy with Nvidia or maybe not. Nvidia """"open sourced"""" their kernel code but the actual nvcc compiler required to build the binaries is still proprietary crap.
I have a 3080Ti gaming laptop. It isn't half bad with 16 GB of video RAM from all the way back in 2021. Nvidia is artificially holding back the vram because of monopoly nonsense. The new stuff has very little real consumer value as a result, at least with AI stuff I run. The hardware is a little faster, but more vram is absolutely critical and new stuff that is the same or worse than what I have from 3 generations and nearly 5 years ago is ridiculous.
The battery life blows and the GPU likely won't even work on battery. It will get donkey balls hot with AI workloads, especially any kind of image gen. This results in lots of thermal throttling. All AI packages run as servers on your network. If you are thinking along these lines if running your own models, get a tower and run the thing remotely.
I manage, and need the ergonomics for physical disability reasons, but I still would prefer to have a separate tower to run models from.
Anyways, you can sign your own UEFI keys to use any distro, but this can be daunting for some people. The US defense department has a good PDF guide on setting your own keys. The UEFI bootloader for the machine may not have all key signing features implemented. There is a way to boot into UEFI directly and set the keys manually but this is not easy to find great guides on how to do it step by step. Gentoo has a tutorial on this, but it assumes a high level of competency.
Other than signing your own keys, the shim keys mentioned are special keys signed by Microsoft for the principal maintainer of the distro. These slide under the Microsoft key to keep secure boot enabled.
If you boot any secure boot enabled OS, the bootloader is required to delete any bootable unsigned code it finds. It does not matter if it is a shimmed Fedora or W11. If you have any other OS present in the boot list, it should be deleted. W11 is SB only, and this is where the real issues arise.

in reply to Fanmion • • •Your best bet is a secondary M2 slot, there are some laptops that allow for that. You install windows on the first, main ssd. Then you DISABLE that ssd (or you unplug it intenrally), you install linux on the second ssd, and then you enable back the first one. Then you can select using F12 during boot which ssd you want to boot from, by default it'd be windows.
I see you're from Germany. Well, Tuxedo computers have many laptop models with two ssds in it.
