A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

fair enough. i can see that disabling safe mode would be a decent security measure. but by the time that kind of exploit is used, you've already got bad actors inside your network and there are much easier methods available to pivot to other devices and accounts.
