Yeah BIOS use happens at startup before the OS starts getting involved. While it's potentially possible that the bug was only in the windows updater, it's equally possible that it's present in both, or just Linux. Any OS is equally as able to install a faulty BIOS update.

It was the only school-assigned book that i ever enjoyed

Only possible if you go to greater measures than just an extension.

OP why did you add this into your title when the article doesn't say that anywhere in the text?

At one point i thought "enlies" was a word because of how i was hearing the phrase "therein lies the problem." I was hearing it as "there enlies the problem".

But they never said they don't care about pronouns. In fact they have very strongly stated that they extremely do care about pronouns

Even then it doesn't make sense to wall off the space. People have things that they'll almost never use again but don't want to throw away. A tucked away space is perfect for that. Just cut a big hole in the sidewall facing the wedge area, now you have storage space you can reach when you take out the drawers.

Exactly, it's crazy to think that any organism with a nervous system can't feel pain. The default assumption should be that a nervous system = ability to feel pain unless proven otherwise

You have to live in a very oversized house in area where space is extremely cheap to decide to just throw space away. Yes that wedge of corner space under the counter is inconvenient, but it would still be useful for things you only need to get to very occasionally.

Yup, a few years ago i told a vegetarian that i was trying to eat meat less frequently and they said something like "if you're still eating meat then you aren't doing anything". Seriously? Such a militantly blind all-or-nothing nonsense take. Most people's reaction to that type of tactic is to say fuck it I'm purposely gonna eat even more meat now
