If pirating it and saving to a thumb drive counts as physical media, then yeah, I guess.

Primal Fear (1996). It's arguable whether or not the antagonist is truly evil though.

The script just does all the actions that you would otherwise be manually typing in the terminal. When it's finished, you have the same minimal environment as if you'd done it manually, but with less work.

You might want to check out the i3 tiling window manager. Shit's under 50MB and makes every other DE I've ever used feel bloated and laggy.

Inspecting the file with a hex editor would give you lots of useful info in this case. If you know approximately what the data should look like, you can just see where the garbage (header) ends and the data starts. I've reverse engineered data files from an oscilloscope like this.

I use a combination of both. Objects are declared const, all members are set in the constructor, all methods are const. It doesn't really work for some types of programs (e.g. GUIs) but for stuff like number crunching it's great.

My current and all-time favorite laptop is an older MacBook Air (Intel) running Arch Linux. The quality of Apple hardware combined with Linux is unbeatable. I can't wait until we get a reliable Linux distro that runs on Apple silicon.
