you can do that trick with every material at those tolerances

still magical 😛

I do IT stuff now. I am getting a degree in Mathematics tho

Oh nice.

still grinding away atm

I need a job that will finance a family so I am trying to work at that

What kind of job would that be?

Cyber Security to cryptography

doing*

Are you going to tell all your clients to use AMD CPUs, whose security floors aren't anything close to the hilarity of Intel's?

(And are getting really damn skookum, great value.)

Most places I work at use Intel stuff

CPU's

Lol

yeah fun times

oh I know

the benefits of having foreign states make your shit

@Grump The Horrible Intel is a US company that has foundries in the US.

(As well as abroad.)

i forget wasn't there something like this where China was making hardware and firmware with hidden spyware?

yeah Intel is here in AZ

This just seems to be a hilarious flaw more than a deliberate back door.

it might have been a few years back

yeah I don't know I have only been doing IT work since this fall

when I started college

@Grump The Horrible Getting the memory map with no privileges is absolutely awful, don't get me wrong. But being able to pull off these attacks FROM INSIDE OF A FUCKING VM is truly the icing on the shit sundae.

I took Comp TIA's Net+ exam that's the only cert I have and I working on Security+ atm

yeah

I have this idea of the "AM Card", the actual machine card, which is just a card that is full-fledged computer.

like a Rasberry Pi in card form?

only mo'better

Or maybe a bit bigger.

Yup.

@Grump The Horrible One think I'd like to do is find the most ridiculously powerful CPUs and other chips that you can get in DIP and make a console out of them that looks old and has a very old-timey looking board.

(Obviously they're not going to be 5 ghz or shit like that due to heat dissipation.)

Wood grip on modern guns is quite sexy idea imo

One of the most ridiculous chips to come in DIP i've seen is the Parralax Propeller.

looks neat

I want an MP5 clone (even tho it's silly)

getting a select fire trigger group
