I’m guessing by the meme influx, Tyson got clobbered?

I use “Clock-in, counter-out”

This post reminds me of a friend of mine who likes a song so much, he will only listen to it twice a year, once on New Year’s and once on his birthday. He says each time is like the first time because “the pathways stay fresh”. He’s been consistent for at least 7 years.

If you’re curious: Toccata - OVERWERK

I didn’t stick with Ryujinx long enough to suss out all of the issues, but within the first half hour of playing TOTK on it, I encountered texture problems several times. Ultimately performance is why I moved to back to yuzu, and haven’t really had any issues in 70+ hours of playing on it

Full tunnel would not mitigate this attack because smaller routes are preferred over larger ones. So, sure, 0.0.0.0/0 is routed over the tunnel, but a route for 8.8.8.8/32 pointing to somewhere layer2 adjacent, pushed via DHCP option 121, would supercede that due to being more specific.

The Killswitch only checks that VPN is up, not whether traffic is correctly routed over it.

You aren’t wrong, per se, I think you just don’t fully grasp the attack vector. This is related to DHCP option 121, which allows routes to be fed to the client when issuing the ip address required for VPN connectivity. Using this option, they can send you a preferred default route as part of the DHCP response that causes the client to route traffic out of the tunnel without them knowing.

E. It would likely only be select traffic routing out of the tunnel. I could, for example, send you routes so that all traffic destined for Chase Bank ip addresses comes back to me instead of traversing the tunnel. Much harder to detect.

After spending a few minutes mulling it over, I’ve realized the only right move is for me to sell the cube to someone more clever than myself.

Can I only teleport back to where I teleported in from, or can I teleport out of the cube to anywhere I want?

Why didn’t you stick with 3% peroxide to clean it, out of curiosity? Just none available, or am I the only crazy person who does this from time to time?

Several comments about tires being the issue. I’ve driven through worse with a simple set of all-seasons - is there something special about EV tires that make them perform so poorly in these conditions?

Your VPN doesn’t have the ability to strip user agent strings on HTTPS requests, this doesn’t seem VPN related imo.

Mint shutdown?

For what it’s worth, I did specifically say ecosystem because the TPM is just one component, which is required to authenticate the remote wipe. Also the drivers are installed automatically with most modern operating systems, it’s not like you install your own south bridge driver, for example. Linux of course notwithstanding.

I’ve seen it used successfully numerous times. Someone steals one of our laptops, rips the drive out, installs vanilla windows, and boom it reboots and performs a wipe.

Regardless, system-on-a-chip are just that, systems; they can absolutely make remote calls without user interaction, just as intimated by the comment you originally replied to.

That really isn’t entirely true anymore since the TPM ecosystem came into existence. I can remotely wipe any pc at my company even if it’s stolen and reformatted because a hardware chip will phone home the second a compatible os is installed and internet access is available.

Yeah, if you use your own password cipher, you never have to memorize a password again. Just derive it based on some common input value, like the company name or url. Makes password rotation tricky, though, and it’s a pain when a website won’t allow a special character you generally use, creating “one offs” that are hard to track.

Fwiw, most modern thermostats have an emergency failsafe temp setting that will always turn the heater on when reached, even if inadvertently set lower by mistake. Saved my bacon in a rental once.

I hope I don’t get flayed for saying this, but I actually had this problem on Windows once, and it turned out to be thermal throttling of the CPU. I was going from 4+ghz to around 200mhz and then it would shoot back to normal. Just needed a thorough cleaning of the fans and ducting.

Thought it was worth mentioning on the off chance it might help someone.

Wow. I’d get the marshmallows out so I don’t have to get roasted alone.

Don’t worry, we’ll invent a type of plastic immune to this bacteria and start the whole process anew!

As an aside, ‘plastic eating bacteria’ have been ‘discovered’ countless times over the past several decades.
