I suspect a lot of people have difficulty recognizing that what they believe about the world may not be representative of how the world actually behaves. I certainly do, frequently.

Like with politics, people think they need to go vote and march and stuff to effect change, but if you’re willing to accept the idea that there are limits to your ability to perceive the world and your perceptions are misleading, you can pretty reliably go and see that isn’t true.

You can also decipher deeper realities like you can basically put whatever you want on flat bread, or that you dadskf;'akse’wfaegqrwt;'lj’a fuck my brain. I’m asd I’m not sure what I was trying to say.

    A little while ago our company wanted to get rid off local administrator rights, but as developers we kind of need those (like installing the software we develope and other unimportant things), so they installed some crappy software that wraps the user access control and I guess gives them more control over what can be run

    It breaks every couple of weeks, but luckily you can use that same software to disable and bypass it by running the control panel as admin

      Every windows PC that has a USB port can be hacked into locally. Boot into windows install USB, open elevated command prompt, change the ease of access button’s target location to be an admin command prompt instead of the ease of access settings, reboot, click the ease of access button, change the admin password in the admin command prompt, enter the password and you’re in.
