@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.
@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.
@freemo@lupyuen I don't see the problem except that it didn't specify if it was fission, fission-fusion or pure fusion.
Conventional energetic devices are just containers that fail to hold a chemical reaction.
There's even an argument that not knowing how to make a bomb is worse. For example a young agent finding a rental van with a lot of fertilizer and saying that it's fine exactly a year after setting a residence on fire and massacring a religious community.
Or making a funny tiktok where a glitter prank goes in an unexpected direction because they used aluminum powder.

@freemo@LouisIngenthron@admitsWrongIfProven Well we need to rename these things to something better to soften the blow of the minor issue of the doors coming off during operation. It's restructuring and a move towards compliance with the regulatory bodies. We will all be getting raises and reducing cost while protecting our image.
We keep this company afloat or in the air. It doesn't matter what we make. WE make the money. 7075 is just Aluminum right? If we were to recycle beer cans, we would be seen as Green and save a lot of money.
@freemo@LouisIngenthron@admitsWrongIfProven It would be nice to try a secretary out before hiring too but that just sounds sexist and creepy as hell. Unless the genders are swapped, it is not tolerable in modern society.
All jokes aside, I keep a Zebra F-701 and F-401 with ultra fine black carts. Those are for Mathematics. I keep M-301s for dragging graphite rods against an abrasive surface. A Permanent Marker is a must and I only use the large one to accidentally write on a whiteboard. (Professors think it's magic when they see Expo solvent remove it.)
I also keep a G2 ultra bold black, 1.0mm I believe, that's for Hanzi. Anything other than that pen and I will mess up the strokes. A Fountain Pen is something I love to hate. I have several Cross Pens but I don't like fancy mediocrity, it's a cod piece of a pen. Parker Pens feel a little better in my experience but Zebra has really black ink and the heavier F-701 just glides across paper. It's also not a weapon and the knurled steel grip is the only acceptable grip.
A pen is a tool and every tool has a specific use. If someone doesn't have a preference in pens, perhaps it's because they don't write often.
@freemo@LouisIngenthron@admitsWrongIfProven It only seems crazy because it would be actual freedom and jerking it to Regan. Legalize all drugs, full auto, no ATF and abortions available on demand.
If I'm a man and can stand my ground, my woman should be able to stand her ground by having an abortion too. The world doesn't need more people like me and to have to put up with the horror of carrying that is inhumane.
A Driver's License should include motorcycles by default. The DCMA should go away. Religious marriages shouldn't be respected, it was likely coerced. Vaccine mandates shouldn't exist, let people die how they want. Having sex with a patient should be okay, it doesn't get much safer than that.
@freemo Pyrolysized wood impregnated with sodium silicate thoroughly coated with graphite. Electroplate it with different metals so it develops a unique patina. A simple copper coating can be a reddish color so it would be good to coat in enamel. You would have the most unique grips that are arguably wooden.
@freemo I mean American reeducation kinda sucks compared to China's. I think gitmo had a woman get something by a dog or a few. Yeah it's a good thing our government does God's work so we don't have to.
@freemo@sj_zero@AnarchoCatgirlism I've inhaled silica and asbestos, thankfully I won't have any issues with it. Every man in my family has died from folding ladder related injuries. I did no research on that but I just said it.
Such impulse control issues are very common in my family. Maybe there will be a way to 3D print organs that last in the near future. It should only take 10 or so tries to get a decent print.
@freemo Oh so it's kinda like the US going after China for the alleged Muslim thing and China responding with gitmo and black sites where snuff films were made.
@freemo Try making a joke about keeping it in the family to a group of Republicans, it ends in a similar way. If my Latin is correct then incest just means to be in (the GOP).
Perhaps it's just uncomfortable to hear that incest, much like alcohol consumption, runs in my family. Perhaps the joke is missed and a political stepsister feels uncomfortable.
@freemo That's probably the correct estimation. I had the joy of using Adderall as the drug for estimating concentration. It has only two enantiomers, what could be complicated about it? It was only two doses per half life of the S enantiomer.
The previous Mathematical Model was of Paramecium Plasmodium with treatment and natural reservoirs. I chose a specific variant with some treatment resistance and chloroquine as the only treatment. Oh that was a fun model.
@freemo Public education doesn't teach Mathematics in a sensible way. In College I worked as a peer tutor in Mathematics. The amount of students I encountered that were in remedial Math was staggering.
They were failed by the system. It doesn't take a rocket surgeon to realize that Algebra and Trigonometry can be taught to elementary school students or Middle School students.
Knowledge, Discipline, Character and Drive are the keys to anything great in life.
I met a plumber who was working in the apartment that I lived in as a kid. Is there a reason why that plumber taught me enough trig in an hour that I was able to out perform my peers for a few years?
I was sick in elementary school and I had to go to college with my sister. It was A&P that day and after establing that I wasn't going to be a disruption in the class, I was able to stay and participate. I passed their exam and I was having so much fun just being there.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that many levels of difficulty are not too great for a child. It takes a hostile environment, abuse and neglect to make a young mind have difficulty.
Give a growing mind as much knowledge as it can handle, it's not a flame but rather an inferno.
Have an Air Force Officer start teach children about fighter jets and they will soon realize that the children don't run out of questions and their thirst can't be quenched. That's how I got an Airman to get more Airmen to take me away to something else cool. Tbf there was an SR-71 in front of me. How does it fly that fast and what is this RAM made of? That's likely why I was taken aside and given a talk about the U-2.
I might have mentioned something about carbon, ferrite or some other material I read about. I was escorted away from the SR-71 by two Airmen. My teacher was told to mind their own business. :ablobcatbongo:
@freemo The rule of thumb in Pharmacology is 2 to 3 half lives with daily dosing before the Limit is approximately reached.
I learned that after around 10 pages of calculations and a professor told me that it didn't need to be that precise. Nice graph, SAGE was the best experience I've ever had with Mathematics Software. Graphs set to output into a LaTeX document or Beamer Presentation, oh god it was amazing.
I wish you well on your journey. Scuba will be a little different now but I'm sure you can handle it.
