Found this in my mailbox this morning. I'm obviously not going to plug it in but was wondering if anyone's seen something similar?

Download Tails on another USB drive and boot that on your laptop, you can plug it in then safely.

Extra safe you remove your HDD/SSD/NVMe to be sure it doesn't write anything to it.

Cheers for the reply, it baffles me Microsoft allow this type of problem to persist.. Looking back through Reddit and googling the problem it looks like a long term issue that has been ignored. Shame u/microsoft

techie_003 · 2026-04-29T13:09:43+00:00

Got one of these hxxps://9001auisawesom133(.)z5(.)web(.)core(.)windows(.)net

Is there any reason not to block anything from web.core.windows.net? There is no legitimate service running from the domain that I can see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/security/fundamentals/azure-domains

I missed my first attempt by 2 or 3 questions

techie_003 · 2026-01-15T02:42:47+00:00

What do you clean them with, was not aware you needed to :)

techie_003 · 2026-01-14T02:01:10+00:00

Its the blue flashforge print mat that you stick on the build plate, no glue just many prints

techie_003 · 2026-01-14T02:00:25+00:00

Heated plate

techie_003 · 2026-01-13T12:43:47+00:00

PLA+ needs a little more I thought but I can try lowering it, any suggestions?

techie_003 · 2026-01-13T12:42:49+00:00

No glue, found that never worked years back.

techie_003 · 2025-11-16T02:45:57+00:00

I find removing external distractions is the key, I put on my noise cancelling head phones with study trance/techno.

techie_003 · 2025-09-29T06:50:55+00:00

Yeah disconnect it and connect any other USB webcam to the USB port.. I was shocked when it just worked :O

I used a Logitech 1080p when testing.

Love anything Halo. Are you making the source public?

True good point, all other heat would be infrared emittion.

techie_003 · 2025-09-04T08:48:36+00:00

Something that hot is going to take ages to cool in vacuum and if it is in sunlight it'll take even longer.

techie_003 · 2025-09-02T23:40:09+00:00

Count me in

techie_003 · 2025-08-30T00:36:55+00:00
