  • I had the same problem on my laptop not being able to get into the bios. Turns out the reason is that the f-keys (f-1 to f-12) where not registered as such on boot.

    They are also the keys for volume and brightness etc. So when I pressed f-11 on boot it registered it as “Brightness up” and not “f-11”.

    The solution was to press “fn” + “f-11”. Then it registered as the correct key.

    You have the option to toggle the default on that. So that you press f-11 and it registers it as such and “brightness up” is “fn” + "f-11).

    For me that toggle was “fn” + “esc”. There also was a lock symbol on ESC so if ESC doesn’t work search for the key which has a lock on it.

    That toggle was also an option in the bios.

    So yeah, wasted an embarrassing amount of time figuring that out.








  • Even dumber because that happened before.

    “What happened was the bear came up to the window at my friend’s side, and no problem. It let us take a picture and went away,” Gallacher told STV. “But I didn’t get a proper picture, so we went back and it was at my side.”

    They already had the goddamn picture!

    Ambulance should be retroactively allowed to unhelp people. Just ripping out the stitches while shouting “there are people who actually deserve this”

    I think that is one of those situations where it is fitting to say “they deserve to day”. Like they actually worked towards it.

    Like that woman who took a selfie at the edge of a cliff with warning signs all over. It’s unreal how many people are dying because they want to take a selfie. It’s a fucking health hazard.

    And embarrassing too. There must be so many ghosts because of that.


  • Is this an article about idiots or a jacket-add?

    Widdowson believes the bear was motivated to pounce after hearing the two women discussing their upcoming lunch. Gallacher said, “Let’s get something to eat,” to which Widdowson replied, “No, you are not allowed to give food [to a bear]. Absolutely nothing, nothing, nothing."

    “And I think he heard it and decided he had to eat my friend instead,” Widdowson quipped.

    Both women credit an article of Gallacher’s clothing with saving her from a worse fate. "She was wearing a thick Marks & Spencer jacket and the poor bear got more jacket than arm,” Widdowson recalled.

    “I was wearing a padded jacket and a top and another top—that’s what saved my arm,” Gallacher marveled. “I’ve been very, very lucky.”
