working in technology right now is great, the most PT Barnum motherfuckers you ever saw are all like, we have invented a time machine, and now 78% of all discourse is required by law to include endless hours of strokey-beard waffling about the endless political and social and economic implications of time travel and the deep impacts on our whole society and how we all must take time travel very seriously and shovel all our money into the time machine furnaces or we will be stranded in some terribly unfashionable decade with no snacks or friends and we’re all so busy worrying about that we’ve somehow failed to realise that there is no fucking time machine

STOP DOING BUS ENUMERATION

* DEVICES WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE DISCOVERABLE
* YEARS OF pci BUT NO REAL-WORLD USE FOUND
* Wanted to find the addresses of MMIO registers? We had a tool for that it was called "the manual"

LOOK at what computers have been demanding your respect for:

Name (_UID, 0x00)
Method (_STA, 0, NotSerialized){
Return (0x0F)
}

This is REAL AML done by REAL computers.

They have played us for absolute fools.
