I bought a used laptop, it has an admin password set locking me away from the setup. The laptop has an EFI, not a BIOS.
Setup settings aren't written to the NVRAM (which I already wiped).
I can access these settings through the kernel in:
/sys/firmware/efi/vars
the relevant folder for the password is:
SystemSupervisorPw-7f9102df-e999-4740-80a6-b2038512217b
This folder contains the following files:
attributes
data
guid
raw_var
size

The "data" file contains the following hex string:
09 1F 12 19 12 21 06 09 14 16 41
which corresponds to an eleven characters string of which only four are ASCII:
????!? ??A
I believe this is the (hashed) setup password.
Any idea what kind of hash function could be in use?
Also, how can I edit this data? /sys/firmware is read only, even for root.
Also I guess it's a bad idea to wipe the password data provided that i can edit it?

Android always #1 in cutting edge features

I just saw the ad for the LG G5 and wow I'm so excited!

I'm really glad Android phones are finally getting such nice features never seen before in a phone!

I can't wait in 2019 when you guys *invent* edge swiping, consistent design, live thumbnails in multitasking and a system that doesn't lag while doing the most simple of tasks

Since Copy is dead, I need something to replace it. Dropbox is botnet, Mega linux client is buggy as hell, pCloud has the ugly icon and it doesn't display pictures thumbnails on android. So, what do you recommend, /g/?

The Google Bubble problem

No.52503232 View ViewReplyLast 50OriginalReport
Filter bubble

A filter bubble is a result of a personalized search in which a website algorithm selectively
>guesses what information a user would like to see based on information about the user (such as location, past click behavior and search history[1][2]) and,
>as a result, users become separated from information that
>disagrees with their viewpoints,
>effectively isolating them in their own cultural or ideological bubbles.

Prime examples are Google Personalized Search results and Facebook's personalized news stream. The term was coined by internet activist Eli Pariser in his book by the same name; according to Pariser, users get less exposure to conflicting viewpoints and are isolated intellectually in their own informational bubble. Pariser related an example in which one user searched Google for "BP" and got investment news about British Petroleum while another searcher got information about the Deepwater Horizon oil spill and that the two search results pages were "strikingly different".[3][4][5][6] The bubble effect may have negative implications for civic discourse, according to Pariser, but there are contrasting views suggesting the effect is minimal[6] and addressable.[7]

Is there an SBC that respects your freedom, i.e. does not require any blobs?
