I must say that Mental Outlaw is known for using the wrong terminology, for example calling closed-source software "spyware", which bothers everyone who works in the cybersecurity industry because this is blatantly wrong. I assume it's the same story with this supposed "backdoor".
It's a zero day that breaks bitlocker using some files on a USB.
Also spyware and bloatware are fairly often used for closed-source software because almost always closed-source code is either spyware or bloatware or both.
So... can the FsTx file from my computer disable bitlocker on yours? Because that would be interesting.
I'm not even sure what FsTx is but my guess is that you need a patched one, although it'd be an interesting to try if you got two PCs
Mental outlaw is a bit of nutter IMO. I couldn't live with that level of paranoia, so I stopped watching him.
Also, extremely right-wing coded conspiracies.
Yeah that too was a big reason why I stopped.
Yeah it so sad to start watching an Linux content creator. Yet again having to drop them when they are yet another alt-right wing nutjob.
You're into Linux because either you want to escape capitalism/closed source monitoring every aspect of your life, or because muh freedom.
Correct, there is extremely scant evidence for it being a backdoor in the video
I'm sure you're right, but it helps for a normie to privacy/security like my self, and viewer engagement.
You're right in that this isn't a backdoor. Its an exploit hes calling a backdoor.
Mental Outlaw is a weird dude. I stopped watching them long ago.
Dude buys all his haribo through mullvad with monero honest.
why?
Just some basic browser protections, and I get this. Is this enshittified Cloudflare v2.0?
