Leave it at home.

Wine or compatibility layers.

This person is getting to be fucking annoying.

The title is definitely not as described, only applies to Windows (I think), and won’t work without a permissions escalation.

The only reason it’s classified as a CVE is because they requested it be such.

There are no payload attacks proven here, or PoC attack code. This person has been posting pretty basic “hacks” for a few years, and makes a mountain out of an anthill every damn time.

🙄 Ugh

Well that’s the definition of targeting an EFI volume to boot. Sounds like you have a config issue in your BIOS. Go through the menus and make sure it’s not looking for legacy boot types first, and only looking for UEFI, then set #3 as the primary boot target.

Or I guess just remove #1 as you said.

You should have a UEFU compatible setup, so just change the boot target to #3. If it’s not loading because it’s completely missing EFInboot info, I would be shocked.

Yes

1. Verify CUPS can actually print from that machine
2. If that’s your samba config, it seems a bit light
3. Enable guest_ok and see if it works then. If so, you need to delve deeper into your access permissions

You also just share print targets via CUPS without Samba: https://www.cups.org/doc/sharing.html

Get a LiveUSB booted, then try running testdisk.

This is still from a USB drive or some sort, right?

Quite possible it’s just bad, especially if an SD in an adapter. Try and verify the drive with whatever tool you used to write it, and I bet it fails.

You’re completely missing the point though.

The reason Apple is literally spending billions of dollars globally fighting against government mandates for opening their ecosystem to third-party app stores is not because of their usability, it’s because they know they have an on-par product with a high profit margin and intend to keep that way instead of doing actual innovation to differentiate their products.

As you even said, there is no difference between them now, so just existing to enhance profits is not a good reason to keep doing things as they are.

Gross

The simplest difference is a company that cripples their products to ensure they keep profit margins and $1 TRILLION in the bank.

It’s not a better product, it’s just a profit machine.

And also I was at WWDC 2019 where they literally said in a Q&A they weren’t making developer tools available for iOS because they wanted people to use MacOS for development.

There is literally no difference in software between any of them anymore, except the manufactured kneecaps that they won’t allow certain devices to produce under.

Android had all this over a decade ago. It’s just a fact.

WHY AM I SO STUPID AND JUST CAN’T GET THIS??? WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME!!!

Exactly. Made similar comment, but people really need to know.

Yep, thanks for the catch. Meant “nerfed”, not “needed”.

Kind of a mind blowing read since Android has had this for over a decade.

Apple F’d this up way back when they had divergent builds between phone and tablet OS treatments because they were afraid the iPad would impact MacBook sales. They nerfed the entire device line by restricting memory for this exact reason. Not even mentioned once in this article.

Man, I’m so out of touch, apparently 😂

Are you one? This is making zero sense.
