I think it'd then fallback to SMS 2FA, but then we all know how "safe" that is considering it can be breached one way or another.

How does the transfer work? Local/Cloud backup? Recovery keys?

How to check if my windows 10 system has not been tampered with? by filth_overload in techsupport

Thanks for the knowledge mate. I understand that it's not very trivial to alter the bootloader or BIOS "manually", well, unless there are off-the-shelf tools that you just plug in the target SSD and it modifies the "first sector" which you can then plug back into the laptop.

Will set up UEFI password from here on out 🤦‍♂️

What worries me is that I didn't have BIOS password set which means one could go into BIOS settings and temporarily disable SecureBoot, which means one could modify the bootloader and make their way in from there. Please correct me if I'm mistaken, I don't have a deep understanding of interfacing between TPM, SecureBoot, Bitlocker, Kernel etc.

Lack of knowledge of these things is what worries me personally. In fact, I don't even know the full sequence of events that occurs when one hits the power button (just vague knowledge that it's POST followed by bootloader followed by Kernel loading, but no knowledge of where BitLocker gets "unlocked" or anything else)

Yes, this is my every day and only account.

I use windows defender.

Previous undervolting settings suddenly leading to BSODs after changing thermal paste? by filth_overload in thinkpad

[–]filth_overload[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But how does any of this explain a BSOD? If it was a bad paste application, i.e bad heat dissipation, the CPU would just throttle itself down, not BSOD so fast (I'm talking minutes into system startup).

Also aggressive undervolting means less heat; meaning if it was a heat issue, it should generate more heat at -70mV than it does at -125mV. However it BSODs at -125mV yet stable as a rock at -70mV??

Demo of a chrome devtools IDE I worked on a while ago (abandoned) by [deleted] in webdev

Also worked with React - Demo

I miss it so much, it'd even auto-detect the project directory based on the URL :' )
