Today's security vulnerability: let's exploit hardware bugs!
-
i see a hedgehog not a water dragon......
-
Do you now?

I fail to see the resemblance?

-shrug-
so i am weird.
also that hedgehog is adorable.

Oh, you need a xenon flash. I tried with my cell phone camera and couldn't get my Pi to reboot.
a laser pointer should work as well.
-
-
If you just need to keep it on for a while to use it, you could make it pedal-powered so nothing has to come in or out...
But what if the pedalling guy manipulates the current in a way that makes one of the RAM bits flip? Huh?

Raspberry Pi based robot wars, where each participant tries to disable the other by firing a laser pointer at its power regulator.

Sold! Who's hosting this event?

if that's the competition i have an unbeatable strategy!
a spot of opaque nail polish on that suspect diode will prevent the shutdown!
:-D
-
By revealing that, your prospective opponents will now be installing high-powered laser pointers capable of burning off the nail polish!
-
well then i'll just have to upgrade to this stuff:
yes that is a 21cm thick lead brick wall they are building. You'll need a lot of power to punch a laser through that!
-
So, as long as it's a pi and has a laser pointer, everything goes?
What is stopping me from putting a nuke on one and just win the whole thing by threatening people?
Filed Under: I mean, besides that I don't have a nuke (, yet but nobody in the competition needs to know that)
-
well there's the rule that to win your pi has to survive..... :-P best you could do with that strategy if someone called your bluff is to draw.
-
Good luck proving my pi is broken when there is nothing left in the area!
Filed Under: Plot Twist, that wasn't even my Pi, it was my phone. My Pi was somewhere else entirely and is still safe!
-
-
well there was my post recently on how to secure a computer..... what were my steps for that again?
-
One of them was 'remember you should have retreated to a safe distance'
-
I honestly don't know. Are you suggesting I should read every of your posts? That sounds much like work.
TL;DR: Link?
-
so it was. it's even in this very thread!

They don't call her Lady Knight @ÂAccalia++ of the Post-Incrementing Table for nothing
-
hu-uh.... i never realized that my title could be read that way..... :-D i like it!
-
I always thought that title was because your post count is so high?
-
I wonder what the practicality is of having a TDWTF Raspberry Pi (or we could open it to general embedded solutions) robot war battle of some kind. We could mail our machines to some reputable neutral party and remote-control over the Internet, and machines could be classified by the build cost to keep things fair.
-
nah. i suggested it because of my hatred for the i++ idiom and added table for knights of the round.
seriously, just write it as
i+=1
because that's only one extra character and the meaning is much clearer!
-

I have an improvement on your strategy which I will tell you, for a price …
Let me know if you are willing to negotiate.
-
I wonder what the lead paint disclosures will look like for that building.

you are aware that both linux and windows run on identical x86_64 hardware, right? I mean that is a thing. and the hardware doesn't change when you change OS.
Are you saying that this linux can run on a computer without windows underneath it, at all ? As in, without a boot disk, without any drivers, and without any services ?That sounds preposterous to me.
If it were true (and I doubt it), then companies would be selling computers without a windows. This clearly is not happening, so there must be some error in your calculations. I hope you realise that windows is more than just Office ? Its a whole system that runs the computer from start to finish, and that is a very difficult thing to acheive. A lot of people dont realise this.
Microsoft just spent $9 billion and many years to create Vista, so it does not sound reasonable that some new alternative could just snap into existence overnight like that. It would take billions of dollars and a massive effort to achieve. IBM tried, and spent a huge amount of money developing OS/2 but could never keep up with Windows. Apple tried to create their own system for years, but finally gave up recently and moved to Intel and Microsoft.
Its just not possible that a freeware like the Linux could be extended to the point where it runs the entire computer fron start to finish, without using some of the more critical parts of windows. Not possible.
I think you need to re-examine your assumptions.

Eh, not quite up to the blakeyrant standard, but have a like anyway ;)

I still think he should have put that copy-pasta in a quote box.
-

Anyone else imagining the following scene with robot voices?
Hey, my eyes are up he...
[BEEP]
Raspberry Pi version 3.14
-
The other two people who did didn't.
Filed under: Discosearch actually worked? THIS CAN'T BE REALITY!, we need a new tag cloud to attack
-
It's funnier if you don't. Though I did supply a link. I think I partly didn't because I remembered someone complaining about someone else not making the quote obvious.
-

That's because it wasn't a blakeyrant. It was one of the best trolls I've seen here in a long time.

"Just" is quite a way to describe something that happened 8 years and 2.5 versions ago.
Still, nice BR.

Yeah you should always reward someone for stealing someone else's bit without attribution. Good job.

I don't believe you.

I read it as just == "simply" or "only", not
just == "recently"
I believe @Onyx already pointed out the wonderfulness of using language for communication for this reason....
-

... or it was posted 8 years ago originally before being ripped-off here just now. But hey, whatever floats your boat.
