- Comment on Isn't Batman's questioning Superman because he is an unknown entity basically the same reason Lex Luthor has against Superman? 8 hours ago:
Isn’t there an entire story line in the justice league where the others find out that batman has specific weapons against all of them?
Then there is the other side where batman has an invention to defeat himself and it gets triggered.

- Comment on Could one legally get a hold of those bank bill dye security dye packs, dye your own legally obtained cash with it, and spend it places? Just to make people suspect you're secretly a bank robber. 1 week ago:
And naturally the police response when inquired is ‘the individual was at the wrong place at the wrong time.’ in their home, not answering a door, and in once case with an old lady ‘took a threating position.’ when she was paying in bed.
- Comment on Is it okay to cover the outside of a microwave in aluminum to prevent or lessen microwave WiFi interference? 1 week ago:
If it is leaking enough to effect wifi then you really should get a new unit if you could.
I wouldn’t cover it in foil as that will block the air intakes from cooling the unit.

Ladies and extra brave men have 2 options down there.
- Comment on To win the show Alone, could someone smuggle a GPS locator inside of their anus? 2 weeks ago:
I would assume that there is some clause in the contract that they will be disqualified if that did happen.

- Comment on Are password managers secure to use? 3 weeks ago:
What makes you think they aren’t secure?
Most will tell you how the password is stored and assuming they implemented the encryption algorithm correctly it should be rather difficult to break the vault open.

ewaste?
- Comment on How would I repurpose a work laptop? 5 weeks ago:
Did the laptop have any kind of mobile device management on it? If so you will have to perform an offline install of windows otherwise the laptop will call home when installing to get security policies.
I would enable bitlocker on the drive to encrypt what is current there then do a secure erase just be 100% sure any leftover data is inaccessible.
I am also going to be that guy and say why run win8? A Linux distro with Proton will likely perform better and still receive security updates. Unless you are doing competitive ranked games.

summer and temperatures are hot in the south
Don’t you mean the north? Seeing as it is Winter in the Souther hemisphere.
