DBAN will get you out of a pickle. Be sure to have an image handy for restoration on to the drive if they happen to need to take it back.[/QUOTE]
100% what I would do. Make a backup image and then just nuke the disk and do a fresh install. Upon turn in, throw the original image back on.
[QUOTE=altern;45830456]Yeah, forgot to mention, even on my home wifi its blocking internet access.[/QUOTE]
Another option is to make a Linux Persistence USB. I use one for Kali Linux and it's lovely because I have a portable OS with a file system that I can save to. Obviously a more user friendly version like Ubuntu would be nice for browsing. If you need the Windows platform I suggest what everyone else does; Make a system image, DBAN, clean install, re-install.
Although if you do make an image and wipe, I'd recover from the image first to make sure it works fine. Probably a bit less suspicious if you come to them now early on saying "Meh laptop dun fucked up" then right as you turn it in. No that they can probably do much about it, but still.

Look for a cheap reverse camera display, they just run off 12v and take composite video in
Some have a weird overlay though

I may have to try to find one that I can get to work with HDMI. Would make a nice CPU/GPU temp display.
Holy shit, the previously acquired SSD of mine is doing wonders for an old Acer 5570. Upgraded it to 7, works like a charm.

The best kind of discussions.
[QUOTE=wingless;45829083]Okay, I have a really fucking weird case going on here.
For a site I manage I was going through the logs for the download server and I noticed a discrepancy. One file has a vastly higher download count than any other file. So I dug.
- They all download sub 1MB of the 15MB file.
- It's a shitload of different IPs, all different /8's, too.
- All from China.
- They all have an IE6 Useragent
- Each IP has about 3-4 download attempts
- None of the IPs have tried to download anything else
- They all refer from the right place.
- The page they refer from, according to GAnalytics says no one from China has visited the page using IE 6. Now keep in mind, GAnalytics relies on Javascript and... well, IE6.
So I'm just gonna go out and ask if anyone here knows ANYTHING about this, or has even seen similar. I've never seen anything like this, it's weird as fuck.[/QUOTE]
Did you by chance host sexy uncensored japanese porn, which would attract Chinese people trying to get hold of it? Maybe they all wanted it, but because their internet was so shit that it would download less than 1MB before their internet crashes.
Or they downloaded less than 1MB before the government came crashing through their door.
Is it a binary file? Maybe something in the first megabyte accidentally matches the Mandarin for "Chairman Mao was overrated" in some pre-UTF-8 text encoding
Or just glorious great firewall cutting access to filthy westener files.

[QUOTE=Protocol7;45795380]Been a while since I have done any first aid stuff, but isn't the force required for CPR also supposed to/damn near breaking ribs? (i.e. not that they teach you to break ribs, but you gotta use a fucking lot of force.) Could definitely end up complicating things.[/QUOTE]
Sorry for the late reply, it is generally taught that a crack might occur, though generally it's not the ribs that make the sound/feeling but just the sternum. Complications from this aren't major and far better than not having circulation.

Could you install MS Exchange Server on it, while you have them? :v:
Would save me some trouble.

10GB RAM just to be able to start the Service.

It's a mailserver. It's inherently evil.
Sorry, only have base images of Server 2003 and 2012r2. Take your pick. As for the exchange part, can I sub it for google calender and gmail?
[QUOTE=wingless;45833169]It's a mailserver. It's inherently evil.[/QUOTE]
For me, Mail Servers are up there with printers, and their drivers.
The devil himself made the printer as it's only purpose is to traumatize Sysadmins, drink liquid gold and stall.
Wait, printers have drivers? I thought it was based on a combination of jumbled code and prayer. With the occasional sacrifice of a virgin that some *cough* HP *cough* manufactures have in their TOS.

Steps to do to install any printer driver:
1. Sacrifice Goat (Important to do this before doing anything)
2. Get the blood of a virgin (If you work in IT, you probably can use your own)
3. Put Laptop and Printer on the ground next to each other.
4. get some silly string and draw a pentagram.
5. Make sure to have WLAN connection on your laptop or else it wont work.
6. Open up the printer manual, and read the French Terms of Service backwards while pouring the gathered virgin blood on both the laptop and the printer.
7. Restart Laptop and plug in the printer. Congrats, you have now installed the printer driver.
If the Ritual did not work, refer to step 1 and Sacrifice another goat, just to be sure.
We've got this one client who has us coming out at least once a week with printer problems. One week it was 3 times. I'm about to tell her she needs to just start hand-writing everything.

Funnily enough, when I installed a new wireless printer using the family PC, I made sure I did not install HP's drivers from disc, instead just letting Windows search for them. It installed fine (but an HP popup told me to install drivers from their disc anyway, which I didn't do because it worked fine without it).
But then when I went on my own PC, I noticed it had automatically installed some HP Windows Store app, without me even connecting to it.
It turned out to be some network related setting in Windows, though it was a bit scary nonetheless.
