In the old days the OS in ROM was common, these days it could work for better security. Why no OS in ROM?

We just use NAND now.
It has the same benefits but is writable. Security is managed mostly by the OS itself though.
You can still set it RO and use RAM as a temporary user disk.
Remember that even back then you could have viruses corrupt your disks and data, even when the OS was in ROM, the OS itself was just safe from the virus.
>the OS itself was just safe from the virus.
it was, but some had a whole host of issues that allowed viruses to infect the system which never got fixed, or couldn't be fixed due to compatibility reasons (amiga, for example).
Why is everyone downplaying the fact that they found chorizo in space?
That's more interesting than if it was just a star.
It's an picture taken using a very powerful telescope showing a slice of the Chorizo galaxy cluster. Each of those light bits is a galaxy.
How would you update without opening your computer and replacing a chip?
why is that supposed to be funny
scientists are fricking parasites
>she writes on a forum, using a device, only possible thanks to scientists
not scientist but engineers and code monkeys, while that involve some science, but it's the applied type not that scam tax-sucking shit.
chemical materials such as plastics and alloys found by scientists, batteries invented by scientists because of chemicals, power grid invented by scientists, tools such as saudering and thermal paste invetnted by scientists, computer engineering is a literal science based occupation, scientists and mechanical engineers invented coding before electric computers even existed, and all modern luxuries are owed to scientists for which we are allowed to think about more than just hunting boars and not dying of pneumonia.
Yep. The nasa alum really put these phones together.
Actually maybe you should be thinking God and early Christians because without them we wouldn't have this phone either.
>scientist makes a harmless joke gently ribbing people who Trust the Science
>you are mad about this
hmm
>a slice of flesh is harmless
I weep for the chorizo beast that gave his life for this prank.
>scientists are fricking parasites
Only a very few of them, and that's because they're studying sexual reproduction in some species of parasites.
Kek
For real though, those /d/ threads are amazing
It is funny.
Unfortunately it also means a whole new round of shitty flat-earther memes.
>In a bid to make amends, he posted an image of the spectacular Cartwheel galaxy, assuring followers that this time the photo was genuine.
fool me once
>scientists are not allowed to make jokes
The problem would have been if people DIDN'T notice it.
>The post was retweeted and commented upon by thousands of users, who took the scientist by his word.
Yeah, but that's social media in general.
Most people don't know who they're following.
You mean thousands just gobbled up what ~~*the science*~~ said without thinking a second for themselves or researching the matter exactly like they did with the settled science of

Just set your boot partition to read only.
>mount -o remount,rw
Because it leads to things like the Windows registry and look where that got us. Just use a distro with an immutable filesystem like Fedora Silverblue.
it's cheaper to just use one type of flash for everything
>these days it could work for better security
no because then it can't be updooted
Aren't immutable OSes basically a modern version of that anyway?
>ROM
Probably because of the Read Only part
Because you can't install malware then. That would destroy the market for antivirus software. It would be anti-capitalist.
We have immutable read only OS's now, next.
Oh great, so when malware exploits a kernel bug to insert itself into the read-only system partition, the OS will now actively fight my attempts to remove it?
space is fake and gay
gravity is just a theory
speed of light was never measured
