I recently got a Sony prs 600 e reader from 2009. The battery is at the end of its life (It lasts about 3 days with heavy reading, and a couple weeks without reading). No backlight, no Wi-Fi, just an SD card that I can load epub files and small PDFs. The screen is slow and the contrast isn't the best. The "touch screen" is the...
The only way to fix an issue that deep after it gets exploited is to literally throw away your hard drive.
This can't be right.
Don't throw your hard drive in the trash. Quarantine the infected computer, and then wipe that hoe and slap your choice of OS back on it and scan/monitor to see if any issues arise.

Dude... That's fucked. They should really go a little more in depth on rootkits in the CompTIA A+ study material. I mean, I get that it's supposed to be a foundational over view of most IT concepts, but it would have helped me not look dumb.
Good morning! If anything this was a great example of not being able to know everything when it comes to IT and especially cybersecurity. Thank you for your well wishes! I earned my A+ last month and I'm currently working on a Google cybersec certificate, since it'll give me 30% off on the sec+ exam price. I really appreciate your insight on rootkits and it's definitely going in my notes!
Setting legality aside, what 'level of piracy' is morally or ethically acceptable to you?

If it's an indie game I'll pay for it after pirating, if I enjoy the game.
I was raised on pirated copies of PS1 games and taught about torrents/P2P by my mother. I've been immersed in piracy since I was a child, It's just normal to me. Never needed to make myself feel bad about it. if anything, once I got older and learned more about how the modern world works, I started to feel righteous about my actions.
