I did run a similar test and there were no errors detected. Thanks anyway!

You are giving them too much credit if you think they can take measurements and conduct research.

I can sudo. Last time I looked into this, Memtest86+ version 6 was required to work with UEFI but it wasn’t available for Ubuntu 22.04. Now it seems that 24.04 has it, so I might update and see if I can get the test running. Thanks for the suggestion!

I can’t run memtest unfortunately. The option isn’t there and I don’t have permission to boot from a USB stick.

I do have an interview scheduled, just saying…

It wouldn’t affect boot though.

I just did that! Brilliant idea, thanks!

That’s a good idea. If I can get it to boot today, I will check the logs, thanks!

It’s not hard to reproduce, but it’s annoying that when they finally came here to check it, no problems happened. I had to bug them so much to even get them to have a look.

Right. ‘Lasagna’ in particular is spelt exactly like it’s pronounced in Italian.

It’s not necessarily a threat of violence. A lot of people would just feel ashamed to criticise other people in person would feel fine to do it on the Internet. Being a dick is a lot harder when you can see the effects of your words on the other person.

According to what I have heard, other elite hacker skills that are at risk of getting lost in the younger generations include searching on Google and using e-mail.
