@freemo Dynamic Arrays Mean Numbers Exist Dynamically. DAMNED in the context of Memory Safety or DAMNED MS could be a useful acronym.

FU and BAR could be a useful replacement.

@freemo She was just Red Teaming and he failed the assessment.

@freemo Ah just like Raytheon or the US government ignoring Skunkworks about the ideal coatings.

@freemo A Kent Knot kind of day with a solid tie. It's a good choice. A Windsor would look somewhat out of place.

@freemo We could have created jobs and industry but our nation said to think of the children. Apparently there was an island where they did just that.

@freemo @bibliolater A beta blocker might be beneficial because of the reduced adrenal response. It's not going to stop panic but it should help with the physical symptoms.

@freemo The caves without breathable air are instant death for free divers. It still sounds fun though and there are worse ways to go out.

@freemo Our society was fine on Benzedrine, whiskey and having a relaxing smoke. We need to go back to our roots.

We should also probably look into the times right before 9/11. There was mostly peace and hope. The culture of fear, among other things, has changed our society and I believe it's a major contributor to why we are unhinged. To put it simply, we have become accustomed to not being okay and that has distorted our perceptions.

@freemo The most hurtful bans are the ones when one is behaving themselves.

@freemo I wonder who will actually attempt to pursue this.

@freemo @LouisIngenthron @niclas Khat helps improve energy.

@freemo @niclas Nothing from nature is bad like aflatoxin or nitrosamines. Pop a tablet of something closely related to a molecule that naturally occurs in chocolate and oh it's very bad.

@freemo It could be TRT.

@freemo It is advised that young men not stop moisturizing and it seems to be effective.

@freemo If you want to critique the cutthroat, the only issues are the maintenance and the worst tug of any razor.

Essentially the least of one's worry should be getting cut. It's not a quick shave. Then I use a safety razor, double edged, to get spots that I missed. To finish it off I like to use the classic Listerine as aftershave for a very historically accurate shave.

Also for people who complain about the cost of razor cartridges, just look at the cost of sharpening stones for a straight razor and a good strop. It can be much worse.

@freemo Panasonic Toughpad FZ-X1 has an IP68 rating so you are good for approximately 3 meters.

@freemo @33c74427f3b2b73d5e38f3e6c991c122a55d204072356f71da49a0e209fb6940 He has a Corvette and kids played with his leg hair. Isn't that what America is really about?

@freemo Homosexual men seem to be well-spoken but the level of skill is very impressive. I believe homosexual men tend to be more intelligent than their heterosexual counterparts.

I can't describe it.

@freemo @salcedo They are good laptops but the OEM has participated in Supply Chain Attacks for a long time. All the back doors that were accidentally left in and APTs from the Mainland targeting them with ease.

It's usually Firmware and UEFI that I've seen compromised. It would have to be the Chinese APTs responsible. I've never seen such impressive and efficient exploitation. I've seen Chinese software bypass Knox without tripping alarms back when it was an accomplishment. I've seen it hit Thinkpads bypassing the CPU security processor and other hardware security without it being noticed. It wasn't old hardware, it was still under warranty in some cases.

I hope you have an ace up your sleeve. None of my hardware was able to pull a sample. It's a shame because that was beautiful malware and I would have loved to have a sample. It was persistent, evasive and took me a few hours to recognize there was a threat and how deep it was. It wiped itself after discovery only leaving the same behavior after.

I can't say where I found it. I will say that their Sys Admin couldn't remote brick the device. They were upsetti spaghetti that I found something and used a little trick to bypass some of the security.

I'm not going to say that a portable firewall/router with custom settings will stop everything but it can buy some time or perhaps stop the vPro kill signal.

This was somewhere during the early Covid Years and the closest thing I could find to the capabilities of it was something that was used on NK by China. Even Kaspersky wasn't able to get a complete sample.

TL;DR Thinkpads are to businesses what MacBooks are to Art Schools. The supply chain is sketchy with the company having an odd history of over powered exploits and the firmware is locked down enough to prevent easy analysis. Just be careful with those laptops. I'm not a pro but I'm certainly not a novice. I still don't fully understand how it got past the Sys Admin but I would defend their actions because Certifications displaced useful information in their mind.
