Re: Stuff to print on T-Shirts

It's important (thanks Carl!), and it's already cool enough to print on shirt:

Xubuntu: Disable nvidia (in favor of ATI/AMD)

I've replaced an Nvidia card with an AMD one on a Xubuntu 18.04 desktop machine. Now I'm always seeing a few percent of CPU usage and a constant system load of around 3.00. That's odd. Since I'd like to have the Nvidia card (and its fine-tuned, properly working settings) as a fallback, I don't want ...

Linux: Read embedded Windows key from BIOS

I have bought several notebooks that had Windows preinstalled, but the license key was only stored in the BIOS (no more stickers on the bottom like in the good old days). I never used the Windows on the more recent machines, and only have GNU/Linux installed on it. However, I like to know license ke...

LaTeX Error: File `booktabs.sty' not found.

[PROBLEM]
Using Pandoc to generate LaTeX from Markdown gave me the following error:

Happens (at least to me?) every now and then and I find it a bit "unrelaxing" that sometimes a meta-package is being (marked as?) removed due one of its dependency-packages not being present. There are different situations (perfectly reasonable and legal package install/removal use cases) ...
