What's the plan?
Looks like you're powering a Pi or other SOC from a laptop. Congratulations, you successfully achieved nothing.
>remove firmware compromised by the NSA
>insert firmware not compromised by the NSA
The laptop has no power running to it, except from the Pi itself.
guys, i can create porn tread in this section? i want share milfs with you
No, that's what is for.
Install gentoo
back to vk with you!
code your own os
maybe I will
understand, thanks
Russian collusion
Why write your own OS when you can get a schizo to do it for you?
Missed one
me on the left
i can't posting in this board. my ip banned, because i'm from russia(i never posting in this board). give me another board.
Commie dick sucking Hillary voter
i detected you are not a real hacker but a FAKE HACKER!
I think you are NSA trying to fool Jow Forums into doing STUPID SHIT to our computers so they can be easily hacked by you.
now russia more capitalist country than us, if don't know
I can see on your photo that you are really putting a VIRUS into CYBERNETIC PARTS of this computer so it becomes HACKED.
fucking american faggot, show me were are your face here ?
But luckily I caught you REDHANDED and now everybody knows!
Three down, one over
It also lacks a cpu, psu, ram and basically everything else it needs to run. And BIOS flashing is easily achievable with a simple usb connection.

The UK is always there when they need you .
The CPU and RAM are on the other side of the mobo. And if you have a technique for writing to the flash chip from a USB connection, then I am far from the only person who would like to know about it.
I hope you're not using Coreboot or Libreboot, they're both compromised.
Bottom, second from left
Libreboot or Coreboot?
Libreboot. My brain is too smole for coreboot.
THANKS OBAMA
Is ME_Cleaner enough? Old hardware ain't exactly a joy to use
I've never worked with coreboot before, but I think me_cleaner cuts the native ME code down from several megabytes to something like 100 kilobytes. They try to remove everything they can without making the computer spaz out. What's left is mostly not the part that you need to about. It's all pretty arcane stuff, though, so who knows?
>flashing your computer with software you don't understand
That's not what I'm flashing. I'm flashing 100% free firmware, which means you can literally look at the source code and change it yourself if you want.
The original code on the computer is what you have far more of a reason to scruple.
>which means you can literally look at the source code and change it yourself if you want
Have you?
Yes, and so have a bunch of other people who actually know how it works.
Lenovo's stock boot firmware, on the other hand, doesn't come with source code, so you couldn't examine it even if you wanted to.
So are you important enough to be especially monitored by the NSA more than everyone else is?
Yes. But the NSA intensely monitors everyone, regardless.
lole looks like my room
How do you stack up compared to this guy?
that's depressing sort of; are you being beseiged by brit police as well?

I'm just gonna throw out a random number; how close is that camera to the year 1992? Are there any plants or anything to liven up the space?
>I'm just gonna throw out a random number; how close is that camera to the year 1992?
just some computer magic (used phone to record)

is it possible to hack a simcard and get unlimited data for free
try connecting to the telkom towers and cheese the guest account
All of that effort, just to be effortlessly compromised through your phone.
this thing plus aircrack
I did this a few weeks ago only to realize virtualization doesn't work so you can't use qubes
There is no way to truly be free
Don't rest bare PCB on the fucking carpet, your Pi is going to die from ESD, jesus.
Qubes is a meme.
You're right.
how is it a meme
Compartmentalization is meme.

HACK YOUR NECK WITH AN AXE AM*RICUNT DOG
Qubes may serve a practical purpose for some people, but most of the time it's a meme.
Compartmentalization only mitigates the threat to information integrity and confidentiality. That's not usually the threat posed by running sketchy programs or opening sketchy files. Also, such an attack rarely happens as long as you're careful. Run a VM yourself if you want.
It's the government trying to see what you've been up to. Those kinds of attacks target machines at a lower level of abstraction. Qubes still has an underlying operating system, and that's the main threat to your security, just like any other operating system.
Huh? You mean VT-X or VT-D? VT-X is fine, but not sure about VT-D

Google the specific instructions for your mobo/laptop, but usually it is holding escape during the bios screen while an USB with correct firmware is inserted
I mean, I'd just, like, pull the ethernet cable out. Way easier. Or since it's a laptop, turn off wi-fi/take out the net card.
I do appreciate the dedication but you do eventually reach a point where the contrived methods become detrimental to the convenience and flexibility of the medium which made it so valuable to begin with.
It is quite sombre how it says as much about government and corporate interest as it does about him but I'd rather keep that obscene amount of tinfoil for oven use only.
i want to program again but i am going to try to avoid anything related to hacking or cybersecurity or else my schizophrenia is going to flare up again
i would make bibeo games but i don't know how to art
