Okay...I know my followers, and I know most of my followers have like half a dozen spare laptops in a storage bin in their closet, so I'm posting this on behalf of a friend who's trying to help their friend.

"""
I need assistance in the PNW for someone who is in a care facility in Oregon and destitute after being homeless and in jail.

They need a laptop shipped to them to get back online.

A used semi-recent MacBook Air with a charger would be ideal.

If you have a spare that you’re willing to ship, or if you’re willing to purchase one, confirm that it’s working, and then ship it, I will cover your costs.
"""

I'll help facilitate stuff if someone wants to lend (or reasonably sell) a laptop that fits the bill. A non-OSX laptop works too, as long as it can be easily kept up by someone who isn't normally a Linux user.

A signed mm command allows memory edits, disabling signature checks & enabling persistent bootkits 🔐
Not a breach—an oversight. Fixes are rolling out. Users should update firmware or apply mitigations 🔧
