- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.

3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.

in Windows. - No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

No, unless its an embedded OS and it has no external ports.
You can absolutely start writing garbage to bios and brick the mobo firmware.
and the one I was replying to was asking about an OS being bricked, not about the bios or firmware.
AND even then you can reflash the bios, its time consuming and costly but you can.
it's not costly or time consuming maybe in the past but now you plug in a memory stick and hit a button then wait 5 minutes for a light to stop flashing
