Bluesky? I run in some circles over there but it stays pretty sanitized. I would dare call it insufferably sane-posting

how in the ever loving fuck did I not hear about Ryan Routh. that should have been everywhere

Figures, it seems like job hunting in any kind of field now is utterly fucked by ai.

But that makes sense though, I guess I’ll shoot my shot for some humble positions. Thanks again 👍

wow, that’s reassuring. people in my life are telling me I should have pursued a career in IT support, repair, or admin because I built a couple computers and tinker with software. are there actually places in that market for people without formal training like in that ancient greentext about the rookie IT guy?

ohhhhhh. I had no idea it did that. no, thank you for simplifying it. I’m only self-taught so I barely have a hobbyist’s understanding of computers.

sorry for taking a tangent and let me preface by saying I’m not criticizing your setup or desire for security at all. it’s obviously adding a particular kind of physical roadblock to what stealing your stuff would require.

but I discovered that BIOS setting at a young age and have had this burning question about what exactly does it protect? it does prevent booting but in a situation where somebody has access to your computer that only really stops them from using your motherboard right? is OP’s usecase the actual intention, where somebody would be required to physically steal at least part of the computer in order to access it?
