So, trigger warning, gruesome question:
Anyone have any recommendations on how best to disinfect/decontaminate a laptop that had been laying under a decomposing body for roughly a month?
@0xTib3rius@drb0n3z Vegas sucks ass, but it's one of *very* few places with the infrastructure to do a Defcon-sized event.
And compared to the others, it's easier to get to and the rooms are cheaper.
@tautology0@0xTib3rius Vegas is one of *very* few places with enough room inventory to take a conference of Defcon's size without spiking rates through the roof.
Look at what happens to SF during RSA, <$200/night rooms become >$1,200/night rooms overnight.
@herrmann1001@pascal_gujer The safe(ish) way to do it is to put your part into a sealable container that you fill with your flammable solvent, then the sealed container goes into the ultrasonic full of water.
You lose some efficiency, but it's a lot less likely to turn fireball-y

Don't worry about people liking you, so long as they don't actively hate you. There's usually a pretty huge buffer of indifference between the two and that's a fine place to be.

@CyberQueenMara 5 is the bare minimum for consideration and you'd need to lean heavy on the "crazy" side if you wanted to make it with such low numbers.
@vxunderground@AccidentalCISO Sorry, no budget and we're on a salary freeze.
Marketing did agree to let us swing by after their pizza party to pick up any leftovers though
@4N0NYM0U5_5H311@vxunderground It's not even that.
It's just a lowest possible cost USB NIC and someone who isn't used to the sketchiness that accompanies such things (e.g. using 3rd or 4th tier PHYs that don't have drivers integrated into OSs) overreacting.
@JackRhysider The ISP could *be* the firewall vendor and they still wouldn't take the blame.
I know people who have gone round and round with an ISP over who was responsible for equipment *in their own datacenter*!
"That's customer equipment"
"You're the customer!"
@AccidentalCISO@TracketPacer The connector for 10BASE5 (Thicknet).
I never installed or actually worked with it, but just tearing it out was a pain in the ass.
