Depending on the install method, the key may be in the EFI (motherboard) or on the drive.

If it's on the drive, then "magic jellybean keyfinder" can grab it for you.

If it's in the EFI, then you may not need to enter it when replacing the drive, or you could not a Linux disk and look in /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/MSDM

Amazon's trick seems to be to offer products at a certain price, but often with i.e. a $60 off "coupon" or whatever. Then when Black Friday rolls around, it's the regular price, no coupon, but with "20% off Black Friday sale" (which may or may not actually be less than $60 off)

Pretty much a lot of "training" in cyber security is a mix of best-practice and how to hack shit, so employing people who have experience in the field isn't a terrible idea provided you can vet them.

After all, Mitnick started up a successful cyber security company and many others have hired people who have been caught doing clever but naughty stuff due to being curious and bored target than actual malicious intent.

At the least, you'd probably be more likely to get somebody who knows how stuff works as opposed to some of the "I clicked the scan button and ran a pentest report sorted by CVSS score" types who know jack shit about actually security.

Given a rant like this I wouldn't be trusting his code. Admin access to a backend and ability to write to the underlying filesystem+configs are two different layers. Yeah in many cases they may be the same admin, but not necessarily. It also means a compromised admin UI user can modify the underlying system to hide their tracks.

It's like saying it's ok to have a hypervisor breakout because it requires you to have root in the underlying VM to exploit and only trusted admins have root...

Yeah Handbrake does fine for my collection. Results depend greatly on what encoding you options you use

You can still blame the pedophiles while also teaching kids safe internet etiquette so that they don't fall prey to one.

Teaching somebody how to avoid being a victim in addition to punishing offenders is a good take

What discounts? There are a ton of items I've been watching that are "on sale" but more than they were a month ago.

Still, they'd likely have to separate out impurities from mined sodium deposits as well, so it sounds like a good use of the by-product from the desalination process where possible

Yeah, and also Edge or an older version of Chrome etc just to be sure.

And possibly legal orders to not discuss it in public

Easy enough to test though. Load the page with a UA changer and see if it still shows up when Firefox pretends to be Chrome
