I just repaired the GRUB2 boot loader of a remote machine while live on a recorded call with a FIPS certification lab.

I feel invincible.

DarkViperAU $6000 Giveaway To Celebrate PC Upgrade (2x$3000) gleam.io/ofAN3/darkvi...
To celebrate upgrading my system so I can record and upload content in 4k, I am sharing the love with a giveaway. Same way to enter as the last 30 odd giveaways, best of luck everyone!
DarkViperAU $6000 Giveaway To Celebrate PC Upgrade (2x$3000)
As I am going to be upgrading my system with the newest 50 series graphics card so I can better produce my content in 4k and I figured I'd take the opportunity to share some love and do a giveaway. I would just give away a graphics card, but giving money is easier and people can just spend it on whatever they want. There will be two winners, each recieving $3000 USD. You will recieve the equivalent in your chosen currency e.g 3000 USD is 4,745.41 AUD. You will be contacted via email and social media. I will track you down based on the info you give basically. The money will be sent preferably via Wise or Paypal, but I will organize it with the winner via whatever means necessary due to the large amount. Winner will be announced publicly via community post, discord announcement, and Twitter/Blue Sky post.

My GPU has 45 billion transistors in it.

Like, we have this magic rock that we carved 45,000,000,000 miniature switches on it to create images of worlds that do not exist on a screen.

We really, really not appreciate enough how insanely magical technology is.

I miss "dumb" TVs so much
Helped my parents pick out a new TV and the model they ended up going with (some cheap TCL Fire TV from Costco) had poor reviews mainly because its software is crap.

So I took a gamble and decided to see how annoying it would be if I made it be a dumb TV and never got it online and... seems fine?

I remember when you could just buy a computer program like Microsoft Word or Photoshop and just have it on your computer forever without having to pay monthly or yearly. What a time that was

I’m genuinely worried about the next generation entering IT and cybersecurity. Many from the “iPad generation” grew up in a world where things “just worked,” and I’ve noticed a lack of curiosity compared to millennials and older. #CyberSecurity #IT #infosec #millennial #genz #tech
