  • I haven’t checked back on it since I stopped using reddit (and I no longer use a surface pro) but there was a pretty active surface Linux community there as well with some good resources. For a lot of models you’ll need a USB keyboard/mouse to actually install the distro but once you can load the custom surface linux kernel things worked pretty well for me.

    I’m going to assume no to your first part since a lot of the documents surrounding the project are only being declassified now (and a lot of the details are still classified apparently)

    To your second part, I was paraphrasing but the video I linked also called it a “backyard bomb” so the the project was probably being worked on around the time the terminology for that “scale” was made

    ELI5 for people who don’t know what project sundial is because I didn’t know about it until I saw that video:

    In the 1950’s the guy who invented the Hydrogen nuclear bomb made a theoretical design for a bomb that would send the entire planet into a nuclear winter. The bomb would be detonated in somewhere in the US because it was so powerful that both the US and whoever on the globe they were trying to hit would get destroyed either way.

    Here is the video the meme is referencing: https://youtu.be/E55uSCO5D2w
