It's only March, but did you know we have the same sun angle as we do in early September right now? Plus, we are adding daylight at just over 2 mins a day, and here's a look at the next 6 weeks of sunniest and daylight length. #cltwx #ncwx #scwx #wcnc

@wxbrad Love this graphic. SAVING

someone put their seatbelt on, that ding noise is annoying! more annoying than “your incident has been updated”! 😅 #OPLive

@GreerPoplin @wxbrad It’s rather unreal the timing starting on Fridays for the last few as well

@wxbrad They shouldn't be allowed to do this on what would otherwise be a beautiful Friday getting off work. Why couldn't they do this the day after the storms?

Lots of controlled burns are underway, along with a few wildfires, right now, with the Southwest winds bringing a smoky haze to the region. This will be an ongoing event all weekend long. #cltwx #ncwx #scwx #wcnc

@wxbrad Curious why they do this on Friday and Saturdays, or just coincidental the past few times?

So why all the smoke? Well, we are in the spring fire season, and to clear dead and dormant winter vegetation, land managers and the Forest Service will conduct prescribed burns to consume those fuels, maintain a healthy ecosystem, and prevent larger fires. When we have certain wind directions, those smoke plumes blow over you. The fires peak in the mid to late afternoon, when both humidity is lowest, and winds are highest. This will happen every day this weekend and even next week. The fire that caused most of the smoke around Charlotte was clearly visible on the second satellite image this morning, down in South Carolina near Newberry. #cltwx #ncwx sscwx #wc nc #smoke #fire

In case you were wondering, your incident has been updated. #OPLiveNation #oplive

🧵 The Kernel Boot Blind Spot: Why EDR/AVs are "Brainless" in Phase 0 (SERVICE_BOOT_START) If you think the Windows Registry is fully available when Kernel Drivers initialize, you’re mistaken. If you think the Filesystem as you are familiar with is fully initialized during the Phase 0, you’re mistaken. And judging by my recent Procmon boot logs (up-to-date Windows 11 25H2), even #Microsoft developers seem to forget this architectural reality. 1⃣ The Hive Gap During Phase 0 (SERVICE_BOOT_START) and Phase 1 (SERVICE_SYSTEM_START), the OS Loader and Kernel only map the SYSTEM hive. The SOFTWARE hive and others? They don’t exist yet. They are physically on disk, but not mounted into the Object Manager namespace until smss.exe kicks in (Phase >1). 2⃣ The "NAME NOT FOUND" Wall of Shame I boot-logged a fresh Windows 11 25H2 install (you can do too). The amount of Microsoft drivers (e.g., Ntfs.sys, Tcpip.sys, Fvevol.sys, Mup.sys, Crashdmp.sys, Netio.sys, Pacer.sys, etc.) spamming RegOpenKey on HKLM\SOFTWARE and getting NAME NOT FOUND is comical. They are blindly grasping for config keys that architecturally cannot exist yet. 3⃣ The EDR Constraint This is exactly why AV/EDR vendors force their core config into the SYSTEM hive (usually under their Service key). During Phase 0, they have no Filesystem and no SOFTWARE hive. They are loaded, but they are operating in a limited standalone capacity. 4⃣ The "Golden Window" Modern EDRs load their Kernel Filters at SERVICE_BOOT_START (Phase 0). But they are mostly passive monitors here—"look but don't touch"—because they lack the Intelligence provided by their User-Mode services (which don't start until Phase 2/Auto-Start). 5⃣ The Kill Chain This creates a fatal architectural flaw. A malicious driver loaded at SERVICE_SYSTEM_START (Phase 1) can execute after the Filesystem is writable but before the EDR's User-Mode "Brain" starts. You can surgically delete the EDR's service binaries from disk while its Kernel Filter is watching, effectively disarming it before it ever fully wakes up. The filter sees the IO, but without its User-Mode backend to provide heuristics or cloud verdict, it defaults to a fail-open state for signed drivers. 💡 TL;DR: Phase 0/1 = No SOFTWARE Hive. EDR Kernel Drivers = Awake but "Brainless." Phase 1 Driver = God Mode for EDR Neutralization. We all learned something today. Apparently, some MS driver devs need to learn it too. 😉 #WindowsInternals #KernelMode #EDR #AV #Infosec #ReverseEngineering #Bypass

Can LNK files ever be trusted? ⚡ My latest blog post demonstrates several new LNK abuse methods, allowing you to fully spoof the target shown in Explorer. It also introduces tools to create your own LNKs, and detected spoofed ones yourself. 🐬 wietzebeukema.nl/blog/trust-me-…

@Gamecock_Scott Guess that was short lived?

Is Sgt. Toombs on administrative leave after last weekend shooting? #OPL #OPLive

@davepl1968 Do you talk about what helped you anywhere by chance?

@winlogon0 Yes, I have a prior history of all of those, and I cover it in the book. Of course, everyone's different and your mileage may vary! I'm not an expert, so I just relate what worked for me.

I've been married 32 years, and we didn't know I had ASD/Asperger's for the first 25. Which means my wife lived with it for three decades before we figured it out. Which, as you might guess, makes her something of an angel. I don't have multiple personalities as Grimes asserts Elon does, unless "two" counts as multiple... but there is a VERY distinct break between "chill Dave" and "burn it all down, we're solving this right now, my way" Dave. That "flip" can be palpable for those around me. In the Musk biography, they call it "Demon Mode", and I find that a little harsh. You don't want that mode in the ticket line at Disneyland, but in a real crisis, you WANT me on that wall. You NEED me on that wall. It's like that. Something about the way my brain processes Dopamine makes me a monster in tough moments. Until I miss a flight connection and it breaks me later. What I thought were "episodes" were meltdowns. What I thought might be a personality disorder turned out to be autism. Over the course of five years of writing and self-discovery, I've figured most of it out. I'm not "cured", but I'm self-aware enough to manage things far better than earlier in life. And so, I'm not here to say "get diagnosed". But I will repeat at all costs that singular advice from aeons ago. No matter who you are or what you've got going on: Know Thyself Then act accordingly.

@lakostem @davepl1968 Accurate

@davepl1968 It's says FREE RAM. But actually it is just a big SWAP file on a HDD. Don't fall for it.

I'm not stupid... show me the RAM before I get in the van.

@Servers_n_Guns @davepl1968 SDRAM

@davepl1968 DDR4 or DDR5?

@HaruhiismOtaku There is a third option.....

Windows just keeps getting worse I don't want to use Linux though

@bevmcf5 @AleccBracero @ReelzChannel This is the answer

@AleccBracero call the fire department and have them put the ladder to the window. #OPLIVE #OPNATION @ReelzChannel
