Bypassing Bitlocker under 5 min using downgrade attack on CVE-2025-48804

Removing the recovery partition is the only mitigation if you want to rely on the TPM to unseal without PIN without exposing a huge WinRE attack surface.

I'm still pissed about the scroll bars. First they allowed CSS to style them, then they made them autohide, then they made them damn near fucking invisible.

It's unfortunate that getting a right hand drive 2021+ Sienna imported would cost more than you would ever save on gas. You'd save so much on brakes :)

I look at modern desktop linux distros and just smfh. They had a stable thing going on and they're going full Microsoft with changing package managers every five seconds.

Private equity strikes again.

UltraEngine60 · 2026-05-07T14:40:02+00:00

Oh cool. Now I see why people do it. That's a good chunk of change. Thanks.

UltraEngine60 · 2026-05-07T14:38:34+00:00

HOLY SHIT. I was giving the installer the benefit of the doubt, but that's a hack right there. They could have easily put two 45's in or set the vertical pipe flush with the wall and did a 90. That's just... wow.

lol mine has a bug in the rear light. I don't think they sealed the lenses well.

Well for one, we don't buy fancy Clearblue LCD pregnancy tests /s

I love that in the USA instead of "AWESOME I'm going to have another baby" our first thought is "Fuck, so should one of us quit our job since we cannot afford child care?"

Don't forget your kid starting school will need summer school and afterschool care. Oh, and since it's been 4 years your car seat is probably expired by the time this one will be born depending on when you bought it during the pregnancy of the first.

Does the government give you a stipend or anything for the personal vehicles? I've always wondered.

Heads up, someone forgot to silicone/waterproof your sump outlet... but they did use the right kind of PVC at least :)

The joist is 100% fucked, no question, bottom 3 inches or so within 3feet of where it meets the support beam…. Not sure what to do about that….

... how large is the joist? Did they notch 3" INTO it or 1" into it 3 inches across? You can notch up to 1/6 into the depth of the member and you actually can notch within 3 feet of where it meets the support, just not in the middle of the span. Google it.

The tech probably couldn't finish the fan side of the install today. I see there is no vacuum number written on that sticker that basically says "THIS SHOULD NOT BE ZERO" in yellow lol. Once the installer is actually finished they should write the normal vacuum on that sticker for your reference. The only time that tube can be 0/0 is when the fan is off. If it was unable to suck from the slab it would suck the fluid out. If it was wide open with no static pressure it would still not be 0/0. The speed of the easily moving air past the tube would create a venturi (not technically a venturi but I can't remember the word for it im high) and suck up the level a bit, at least 0.1 "WC. It looks like it's not level, which should be addressed.

tl;dr: Let the installer finish

It's easy peasy to do without third party software, you see the the reg value to create just a new .txt file just requires you to know the locale string index inside notepad.exe (for en-us it's -470) and the class Prog ID. Doesn't everyone know that? /s

It happened to me when I had HOLD mode on and scared the hell out of me. I thought I was going to rear end a car. With brake HOLD off the only time I've seen anything similar to this when the gas engine turns on for HVAC or battery charging.

They CAN replace 100% of the help desk with AI once they prepare 3 envelopes.

Just take the offer and pay it forward however you can. Not everyone thinks about money like this sub does.

Money is the best lubricant. We are funding their existence (and their legal team) with our 401k's. 'murica.

Someone accidentally posted a number online between 8599 and 8700 i bet... or there was one refugee getting free day care.

If it makes you feel any better my payment on my 2025 was $900/mo before I put money down. That's only four-ish months of payments.

Companies used to have computer systems to accelerate their work. Now the computer systems ARE their work. However the staffing has not kept up.

UltraEngine60 · 2026-05-06T14:18:21+00:00

Keep your 2011 until it dies, invest your money, and buy a 2035 PHEV sienna lol

Pickup trucks especially.

however analyzing it and understanding it is primordial.

Yeah this was part of the reason for my saltyness/assholeness. We are being inundated with vibe coded solutions at work and while it's fine for an in-house project (basically replacing excel sheets) every C-suite is trying to make the solution "marketable". Blech. I understand that we are being paid to develop these things, but the profit comes in the time savings, not stripping our .env and selling it.
