“Read my lips. We’re not going back to masks and lockdowns again.”
After a few weeks of freedom, I saw yesterday that CVS put up the mandatory mask sign again when I went to get some ice, for no reason other than the idiotic dictate from the LA County health department, which the sheriff has said he’s not going to enforce, because there’s no scientific basis for it.
So I’m trying to dig my Windows product key out of my recovered files. I run this pattern on all of them with ‘egrep -r ‘^([A-Za-z0-9]{5}-){4}[A-Za-z0-9]{5}$’ *’
It says it finds it in three files:
Binary file recup_dir.7567/f2079240352_unregmp2 matches
Binary file recup_dir.7574/f2082184960_pidgen_dll matches
Binary file recup_dir.7576/f2082580864_pidgen_dll matches
But when I go into vi to search for the string itself with the same regex, I get “No pattern matches.” Is the syntax for regex different in vi than in bash?

I still haven’t found it, but amazingly, I seem to have installed a working version of Windows 10 without it.
These people are daft.
Recycling has become a civic religion, less rational than most.
Some reviews from Judith Curry.
We are not “ruled by the science.”
I get very tired of people who clearly wouldn’t know what science is if it planted a boot up their fundament talking about how they “follow” it.
He was told there would be no math or physics. And what good does it do to not have to stop for gas if you have to stop to recharge your battery?
