hey fedi i need tech support. after the latest ubuntu update it asked for my birth date and i accidentally mistyped and put the year 2015 instead of 2005. i clicked "finish later" when it asked me to do ID verification and now my computer thinks I'm 10 and i can't change it anymore. the problem is that now i can't access the USB drive with all my uni documents anymore:

$ sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /run/media/lea/documents
[sudo] password for lea:
mount: error: compliance requirements not met

please help i have a paper due next week 😭

@soatok I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as Bottom, is in fact, GNU/Bottom, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Bottom. Bottom is not an sexual role unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning BDSM scene made useful by the GNU coresubs, submission utilities and vital sexual components comprising a full BDSM scene as defined by Wikipedia.

It has been 0 days since I cried because I can't use Siemens PLCs at work.

I've been troubleshooting install issues for Control Expert for... 2 and a half hours now

@DeltaWye what's wild to me is (in my job anyway) there's such a greater potential for getting cost savings for electricity by just like, adding running capacitors to loads or substation level capacitor banks. If you are able to build it internally, turns out the cost for power factor correction capacitors and contactors both from Weg are cheap as hell

@DeltaWye oh 100% I'm just curious what the proposed benefit is. Last I recall most UPSs have a max overhead of like 3%
