Nice “screenshot”.
*facepalm* It’s not a “screenshot”, it’s a PHOTO. You know, using a camera? You can see the glare from an external lightsource, ffs!
If you “shoot” a “photo” of a “screen” does it not also make it a “screenshot?”
You, sir, just won 3 Internets
No that makes it a ” Shot of a screen”
*facepalm* You just got Poe’d. 😛
It was clearly sarcastic, and he even put it in quotes.
Not sure why your comment is showing as Guest, Sabin Figaro, but I am going to assume your social ignorance means you have no clue what being facetious is.
Dude it’s taken from the BIOS, not like he can just paste that into paint…
@apanda9:disqus How is he supposed to take a screenshot of the BIOS?
There are ways. Some BIOSes have a screenshot feature (will store an image to USB flash drive). Other ways include capturing the image with another computer or dedicated hardware.
I was being facetious. Hence the quotes.
If you look, there is a lensflare in the top right of the image. So he most likely took it with a phone etc
… Really guys? How do you think screenshots were taken in the past?
So, is a shot of a screen isn’t it!?
Lighten up, Francis.
The solution for this would probably be to copy out a section of a book and memorise the page number etc. Still needlessly complicated.
except if you’re in the bios, chances are you’re not going to be able to access a copy of the book. I mean, unless it’s a fancy bios that would give you access to an hd or usb stick and let you open files. I don’t think they got that fancy though, but I’m not sure, I haven’t upgraded this PC in like 5 years.
Books can exist without computers you know….
Good luck getting all 6639 characters correct when you’re manually entering them every time…
I’m sat next to a shelf full of books and there’s not a USB stick among them!
Are you really suggesting you’d manually enter 6639 characters from a book each time? I assumed when you said “copy a section” you meant copy as in Ctrl-C.
I love how everyone is complaining about the imaging media, but no one has commented on 6639 characters that need to be generated to make this password.
I love how no one has commented that this guy’s BIOD is obviously corrupted and probably needs to be reflashed. The desk is fail.
