• BIOS does not detect any EFI boot loader, have to boot manually via UEFI shell. What can be wrong/ missing? [Details given.]

  When I use the command line tool efibootmgr to modify the UEFI's boot entries, it fails with Could not prepare Boot variable: No space left on device. But I am not sure which device efibootmgr thinks is full; sda1 has plenty of space and is mounted writeable; it seems to be something directly by the BIOS? -- The same message appears when I want to reorder Bootnums, but the reordering still is carried out.

• Installing Arch Linux on VMware vSphere 7.0 using Packer

  So I updated the install script to use efibootmgr to change the boot order. It's updated from the looks of things, but the CDROM still boots.

• Ask HN: Do you still use DVD?

  I still put DVD and/or Blu-ray drives in all PCs I personally build for myself and my family. This is due to the fact that we transferred dozens of old captured 16 mm and 8 mm film reels, scanned photo prints, negatives and slides as well as Video8, Hi8, Digital8 and VHS videocassettes to M-DISC DVD and some to Blu-ray. While I uploaded most of this content to Flickr and Google Photos while they were offering... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• My computer reset my user profile name and password. Now I can’t login. What do I do?

  This is what I normally do when needing to change a user account password at work. Http://hirensbootcd.org/ and create a bootable USB drive with it, set it as the boot device in the bios and get and use the NTPasswordEdit tool that should be in a folder on the desktop. Should be able to select the user account on windows and change the password to what you would like. Source: over 1 year ago
