  • I want to turn a Microsoft surface go 2 into a kali linux machine. I would appreciate any guidance pulling this off. I want use it for learning it security stuff, partly for work but mostly for curiosity. Occasionally I run across malware, trojans, and I want to look under the hood to see how they work. I’m assuming Kali is the best tool for the job and that Lemmy is the place to go for tooling around with tools.





  • I had to look it up, here’s what I found (please correct me if I got it wrong):

    To change the user agent in Firefox, you can use the built-in Developer Tools. Here’s how you can do it:

    1. Open Firefox.
    2. Press Ctrl + Shift + I on Windows or Cmd + Option + I on macOS to open the Developer Tools.
    3. Click on the “Network” tab.
    4. Look for a small icon that looks like a mobile phone and a tablet together, usually located at the top-right of the Network tab. This is the “Responsive Design Mode” button. Click on it.
    5. Once in Responsive Design Mode, you’ll see a dropdown menu at the top of the screen where you can select different user agents (like various mobile devices, different browsers, etc.).

    Remember, changing the user agent can sometimes lead to unexpected behavior on websites, as it tells the website that you’re using a different browser or device than you actually are. This is usually used for testing and development purposes.

    Edit: a word






  • Without looking this up first, I think topology is a mathematics…mathematica…a field of mathematics that makes proofs of topologies in nature. Like what is the mathematical proof of how a knot can be removed from something without untying it. Hang on let me look this up…

    Okay here: Topology is the study of shapes and spaces, focusing on properties that are unchanged by continuous transformations like stretching or bending, without tearing or gluing. It’s used to understand and classify various mathematical, physical, and computational phenomena.

    So topology shows how a coffee cup is a misshapen donut, or a human is donut (with center hole from mouth to…butthole) and now, how quantum entangled particles can be perturbed (messed with) and still maintain coherence (not break and still be an entangled pair).

    Here’s the coffee cup donut:

    So it sounds like they are using topology to classify entangled quantum ‘shapes?’ which will allow them to better understand and manipulate quantum entangled states? And so far the math is holding up?

    I love this stuff. Like how the math showed that black holes should exist before we found any. It’s like frickin magic man. Like wizards reading the magic symbols to unlock the secret fabric of reality, but like, for real.
