@foone I feel like that’s not all external USB devices, just ones that don’t implement boot mode? like, I’d think if it works in the UEFI config, it’d work in bitlocker?

I’ve definitely used a USB keyboard to unlock bitlocker on my desktop after all

(I hate that cursed thing about how USB keyboards work, with boot mode, though)

@foone @rodneylives what if it involves removing smoke from the air?

(countries start begging the Vatican to depope as many popes as possible to solve pollution)

@foone he’d probably just stick his head in a pigskin couch

@foone @DrakkenZero so you could say that it’s really popeing off?

@foone there’s another notable Vance that’s a Catholic…

@whitequark @foone although steel cores are, uh, also frowned on in indoor ranges due to more… acute safety risks than airborne lead poisoning

(namely, sparking. there’s unburned powder everywhere in your average indoor range that’s been in operation for a while, and sparks from steel core ammo can ignite that, which would be Bad™. (see USCSB videos on combustible dust, with the addition that this dust is designed to combust.) additionally, steel cores can damage the backstop, which has the potential to be Bad™. AFAIK, zinc is the usual choice for lead-free ammo marketed for indoor range usage. (copper is also good, but is expensive.))
