I wonder if anyone has made a circular e-ink display. You could do interesting things with an e-ink clockface

The next big thing: VGA-C.

analog video, but you don't have to flip the cable to make it fit!

I spent the last 30 minutes furiously photoshopping this, badly.

windows 11 should randomly pop up this message just to annoy people

Bad idea: a character who cannot use any common password reminder questions.

* they have never had a pet
* no mother's maiden name, no mother: they have two fathers, neither of who changed their name.
* they were homeschooled, so no high-schools and first grade teachers (arguable)
* they've never been on vacation
* they are not into music, so they have no favorite band.
* they haven't dated anyone
* they're colorblind so no favorite color
* they didn't go to college
* they don't drive

uh. I think this thing might have been donated from someone who worked at NetApp, and didn't clear the hard drive.

There's some files from 2016 that are Net App All Hands presentations.

NetApp Confidential - Restricted Use

YEAH ABOUT THAT: MAYBE DON'T LEAVE IT ON A HARD DRIVE IN THE GARBAGE

I am an expert at industrial espionage but I take the slow route
I just wait 8 years for your computers to get donated to a church and then thrown out, and then I pick them up and access your presentations that were foolishly left on the hard drive!

It's the perfect crime!

fun fact about this:
in 2016 I was working for Pure Storage, one of NetApp's direct competitors

yeah this thing has 55 files in the Archive folder, and every one I've checked is an internal confidential NetApp presentation

the machine runs IIS for some reason. I don't really feel like looking into what this does, but I think it's some weird SOAP thing

they're not hiring for any security positions. I checked.

Not surprised, really.

gaze into the heatsink of insanity

oh hey there's another folder with another archive but this is the church's livestreams.

I can pirate the Jesus!

so @Lapsus figured out what heatsink this is. It's an actual product that was sold, not their custom thing (though the fan mount IS custom, they made their own aluminum bracket for it)

It's a Swiftech MCX478-V (or very similar, since that one is designed for a Pentium 4, and this is a Intel Core (non-duo)

oh god the church has a link to their sharepoint instance.

I was a bit iffy when my local church introduced powerpoint in the early 2000s, I think this fancy produced video stuff is extra bad, but Sharepoint? That's one of the layers of hell! It's in the bible*!

* it's not. I checked.

fun fact about this heatsink:
They did not, in fact, drill the screw holes at an angle. That was too hard, so they drilled them vertically, and just bent the screws.

okay so I rapidly found out some info.

This thing does have data on the hard drive. This used to be used by a church in the bay area, and it's one that boasts on their website that they livestream their services.

I bet up until relatively recently they were using this machine to do that

hard drive is not dead! but annoyingly it's bigger than the spare hard drive I have in my imaging machine, so I can't just copy everything over

relatively recently means "up until march 2020", judging by file dates.
