@asgs OnDemand, it's an old phone man. Old phone = old governor.

OnDemand was the better option, the other one was Samsung default and that is just a joke. Low frequency biases suck.

@asgs Wrong CPU governor settings. That's probably also what killed my sd.

@homo-lorens pre historic samsung galaxy young.

I know, don't ask.

Threadripper or go home

@notSoCoolGuy We could, but it is almost never Worth suing a company bigger than yourself. They would also have a strong case if they stated we were not competent enough to figure out that that address was in fact not correct. If an audit ends in an unexpected way, it's almost never something that ends in court/with the Police. Most of the time some sort of agreement is made. In this case we upgraded the badge system for the "victim" company for free and we agreed to not ever do audits for company xyz and their associates ever again.

I've done quite a few audits but this is the only one where I was actually scared for my career.

Having a crime in your file is very bad when you work in security.

@F1973 That's a very nice statement!

@theabbie No, I am just very strict when it comes to knowing my passwords by heart.

Also, I hope you meant "passwords" instead of "password"

@theabbie I must be a psychopath then.

@Parzi No, not at all.

This post was made because I boot up my workstation today and was met with the "Use a USB drive, network connection or Windows Recovery DVD to restore" screen for the fourth time in the past two months.

This is not uncommon at my workplace because we use a lot of specific hardware that tends to have drivers that act funky with the read/write of our workstations and also hardware that could interrupt the boot process in specific situations.

I'm not retarded and I am not reinstalling windows every time I get a bluescreen. With a "crash" I meant, in this thread at least, being unable to boot back into the OS.

@Parzi Well, feature or not, secure or not. When my Windows device crashes it's a pain in the ass.

When my Mac crashes it takes 40 miutes -at most- and I have every single thing -yes, all of it, even a button toggle somewhere 10 menu's deep in a program- up and running.

I am more than experienced enough to know that copy pasting things on windows as a "restore" is a no-go, hence this post.

I also know that the windows restore cannot be a complete restore because of the way Windows works.

Hence, this post.

@Parzi well, Apple is secure too and I like their implementation of the backup restore system more.

I like your use of "it's a feature" though. ;)

@Parzi it reinstalls the OS but keeps all the rest. Windows reinstalls the OS and only keeps files. Big difference.

@electrineer No it's still something you have to do yourself, just like you have to make an Image in windows repair Tool.

The difference is that the default Windows setup is a dumpsterfire, while apple restore is flawless.

@Fast-Nop but thank you for the CloneZilla advice, It looks like I have a new go-to tool to add to my workflow.

@Linux @Fast-Nop My argument is still the same, even with What you said: on a Mac it goes flawless, on windows you have to know how to and have program x and program y to have it restore everything.

On a mac: inserts backup disk, waits half an hour for copying, boots machine and tadaa: as if nothing ever happened.

@Linux Could be a user problem, but its mostly related to the tasks and work I have to do on those machines.

Anyways, user problem or not, Apple is already in the next universe when it comes to backup and restore.

By the time I have all my programs re-installed on windows, I have already finished the project on my Mac.

And that's not even including restoring the windows registry to optimize my workflow, that would take another week of finetuning.

I've had to write program exams in Notepad. Not notepad++, notepad. Our school even had a good IDE (IntelliJ) license for the students.

Our professor would state 'You'll only learn the language if you can write it without the computer telling you how it works".

@C0D4 Organiser with custom fields you can add and set with different values. Can be images, lists in lists, locations, maps, files, whatever.

Export function for your "lists" layout and import function to use someone else's setup.

Syncs to a server and has an android Counterpart app that is able to run in sync with the iOS app.

Or that's the theory. There isn't an iOS app at this time, because Apple is being... stubborn... again.

@RememberMe Because the app could possibly be used for "malicious intent".

What they exactly mean? No one knows...

I think it's Apple for "We don't want it on our platform, but thank you for your money".

I love my Apple devices, I hate the company.

Quite a bummer I put al this time in training my Obj-C writing and even looking into Swift for quite a while, now knowing it has probably been for nothing.

@RememberMe They keep rejecting my app. £99.99 entrance fee per year for a personal project just to have my app denied for 4 revisions already.

Apple sucks.

Big time.

Also my charging cable broke again.

@JFK422 Apple does not have a concept for repairing things.

Indeed. If this is in fact the scenario you find yourself in, it's their loss. Not yours.

@kiki There's an animal called the "Babirusa". Its canine teeth grow upwards, through the snout. These teeth keep growing during the entire length of the Babirusa's life.

In some cases, it can end up penetrating the animal's skull and actually fatally damaging the brain.

The similarities between this animal and developers that argue about languages have always bewildered me.

@SortOfTested the .ru had me. Good read.

@olback this was even possible without being an admin, just boot with any Linux live USB and rename cmd.exe to the usual program linked to the sticky key.

I used to send messages to the Active Directory accounts of my friends at school using this "trick". It'd show up as an admin account that sent the message and they had no clue it was me. Good times.

Sounds like fun.

This makes me think about that one time I was on a roadtrip and I restarted Dnsmasq over remote ssh to my local network because I updated a few rules.

The IP of the Raspberry changed because it was Dynamic and I was unable to do any of the work I was planning to do for 2 weeks.

It happens to the best of us I guess. Also dynamic IPs suck

Edit clarification: the IP changed because I used a script that completely restarts the service for apache2, mariadb, WPASupplicant, dnsmasq etc.

@webapp It's not about retrieving or "not fucking up", it's about the undeniable urge you show to log in to someone else's account the minute you see the possibility to do so.

I know the security of that site is shit, I was not talking about that.

I was talking about you being untrustworthy.

@webapp And that's how you prove that you're not a trustworthy developer.

Even better, the emails are listed on the profile pages. But the accounts won't be of much value then I guess, or they wouldn't have a single user left.
