So we can actually iterate over every possible solution pretty quickly. If I cared more, I'd look into using `fractions.Fraction` so that I didn't need to use floating point math.

    from __future__ import division
    import itertools
    
    def f(a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i):
        return a + 13 * b / c + d + 12 * e - f - 11 + g * h / i - 10
    
    for choices in itertools.permutations(range(1, 10), 9):
        if abs(f(*choices) - 66) < 0.001:
            print choices
There are also some solution that your code will give that are wrong due to your code using integer division.

Who could you possibly call at say Capital One to verify that a change in their certificate was intended instead of malicious?

One of the suggested alternate modes in the specification is a PCIe bus. This would most likely support bus mastering, and thus a full DMA engine.

This certainly requires some host cooperation, but I imagine that the fear is that these drivers start to be distributed in the OS by default.

One of the BadUSB vectors is a USB keyboard, which is a fairly well expected driver to be included with the OS.

Your apt/sources.list says that you are running __trusty__, not Rebecca or Cinnamon. And Trusty was never a codename for a Linux Mint release.

You should probably edit trusty in that file to the proper codename for your os. A list of valid ones can be found here: http://packages.linuxmint.com/dists/

Once you've done that, you should be able to run apt-get update, and apt-get upgrade.

Then, I wouldn't be surprised if Debian's instructions on building a new kernel package wouldn't work: https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch08s06.html.en

The new MacBook 11 years ago

USB Type C to USB Standard A Receptacle adapters are supported by the USB specification.

As I understand things, the desire from the USB-IF is to basically have USB Type A and Type B start to disappear.

Until we get to that critical mass point... Yeah. It'll be annoying. But hopefully we will get to enjoy this standard for at least a few years before it is replaced.
