Today’s fuckery:

A few years back we bought my son a Chromebook for his schoolwork. At the time it seemed like a good choice because the price was right and the limited specs meant that it would pretty useless for much else. (Focus on your schoolwork, kid!)

The Chromebook ended up getting slightly bent in my son’s backpack, which screwed up the touchpad. Alas, old Chromey ended up forgotten in the ‘pile of old crap I refuse to get rid of’, until one day I decided to do some searching into repairing the touchpad, which I was able to accomplish by ‘shimming’ out to warped case a little bit.

Then Google decided to end support for Chromebooks.

Well, today I dusted the old girl off and began with the question: can one install Linux on this thing?

Turns out, the answer is ‘probably’.

Hell yeah, let’s dig in!

Bug Bounty Programm zur Infiltration der Regierung von #Mexiko: Wie leicht #AI #Jailbreaking nach wie vor funktioniert, hat erneut ein Cyberkrimineller in Mexiko bewiesen.
