The main difference is the additional physical gearing for 4 high and 4 low gears, both of which have different gearing than "regular" drive.

I have an older Audi with a Torsen Quattro AWD system, and an ancient Toyota 4Runner with 4WD. The 4Runner can be switched into either 4 wheel high or 4 wheel low gears to deal with different conditions. The Audi always has the same gearing, it cannot be switched.

It's like the gears on a bicycle - 4 low is the one where you barely move while standing on the pedals - maximum torque per revolution.

You can go rock crawling in a 4Runner in 4 low. You really should not go rock crawling in an Audi or Subaru without 4 low, no matter how much ground clearance the vehicle has.

The National Park Service has this rule because it doesn't want to spent time and taxpayer money rescuing people who think AWD is the same as 4WD with a low range gearbox.

Others have covered the definition of a corn dog.

A "cron dog" however, is when you use cron to schedule a dog command, which is an updated version of the cat command installed via the moreutils package that provides additional features such as colorized output and line numbering, making it more versatile.

THIS HAS BEEN A DUMB LINUX FACT

That would be awesome, but I'm pretty sure the Chief Justice would preside over that trial

That dude is going to merge with his barcalounger one of these days and we will all end up watching a weirdly swole chair yelling about Apple, and I am totally here for that.

Hell, I can get a 30 year old HP LaserJet 4 printer working just fine on almost any version of Linux with the official HPLIP CLI software provided by (shockingly) HP, which was updated 2 months ago with support for over 50 new printers and the following OSes:

  • LinuxMint 21.1
  • MxLinux 21.3
  • Elementary OS 7
  • Ubuntu 22.10
  • RHEL 8.6
  • RHEL 8.7
  • RHEL 9.1
  • Fedora 37

I HATE HP and their printers (PC LOAD LETTER WTF FOR LIFE) but I will admit that this is impressive support.
