The problem is external USB-drives mo...

Did AU's rendering of comments change recently? I noticed that my own comments don't have the tiny upvote and flag icons while other comments have them and they are greyed out (unless I upvoted a comment) until I tickle them with my mouse.
I remember this was different a few days ago, wasn't it? The first comment in that pic was from me, the others aren't.
@TheWanderer Yeah, of course I cannot upvote my own comments (I get that). My question was a bit unclear. I was asking about the grayed out icons that weren't there a few days ago.
My bad, we should have posted something on this when we rolled it out.
As mentioned by Monica, this is an intentional change to make flagging more discoverable. We can all agree it definitely does that.
This is a work in progress and we are working on some additional changes to improve the la...
I have a rather weird issue with my desktop. Today I got my new case and moved my setup over. However if I boot everything works fine (POST, Splashscreen, etc.) until GRUB tries to boot into GUI.

As seen on TV: They just invented a new kind of toilet paper roll without that cardboard innards. This will improve my life as I always wondered how to dispose of the cardboard roll inside once the paper was used up.
@dessert TY. Yes, I already upvoted that. Haven't tried it though.
While running a script with bash script.sh what is created is the following set of processes in a process group:
PID PGID CMD
6561 6561 bash
6575 6561 p1
6565 6561 p2
I know I can kill everything in the process group with kill 0; however, this kills 6561, 6575, and 6565. How can one k...
I am currently staying in a not very nice hotel with WiFi so overloaded with thousands of guests' devices that no page could be open in the browser, I quickly get error message 'This site can’t be reached'.
However this is not entirely true, with a lot of waiting a site can be opened. I just ne...
@ByteCommander Basically, yes. Without knowing what the actual commands are needed and the actual conditions, there's not much room to wiggle. I had another approach, but got rid of that as it restructures block diagram of the logic (yeah, i sketched out a block diagram for this question)
