DOD does have a dedicated office for IT. However, in my personal experience working for a state-level IT bureau, they’ll either just throw it out / surplus it, or if it’s under warranty send it to the manufacturer to have it repaired. Rarely is anything ever done outside of that except simple tasks like replacing memory from a donor computer or swapping out hard drives Just handing over a govt device to a third party individual with potentially classified or confidential information is such an inconceivably bad idea that the only possible reason I can imagine is that the device was either public/shared (like those computers you find at rest stops) and isn’t connected to the govt network, or some idiot broke his screen and was too embarrassed to tell anyone. Not sure how it is for federal government but I had to get an FBI background check, prints taken and all, and I have to do so every 5 years in order to keep my job as a tech

Tip on opening the Surface Pro. 1: Once you lift the glass with your suction cup, pour in a drop (or less) of 100% IPA into the adhesive under. This will make the adhesive brittle and very easy to separate. 2: Use a softer prying tool. I used the foil-plastic corner part of a blister pack of pills/capsules/medicine. Rigid enough to slice through the adhesive but soft enough not to break the glass. I also pour the drop of IPA through here as I slice through so that it gets to the tight/kiss part of the adhesive.

My FSO would kill me

[@War_Dog455]

As a veteran I’m astonished at the non existence of actual cyber security here.

[@zensync]

To those saying this is a security violation. No DoD device will just have PROPERTY US GOVERNMENT ON IT. It will have a barcode the assigned user the asset id the serial number and a last serviced date. Some dude put the warning on as a joke.

[@FPSKillstreak]

The top of the turned-on tablet had UNCLASSIFIED on a green strip indicating the device has a connection to NIPR. This is indeed a security violation.

[@zensync]

@@FPSKillstreak this is indeed not a security violation because he wouldn’t be able to log in to the computer. It’s a joke and everything you see here can be done with registry tweaks and programs

[@publiusii4246]

As a guy that does IT for a state agency, I can tell you that we have strict policies about people in your position doing that kind of work for security reasons. So I hope that you had permission from that agency to do that work and this wasn't a end user asking you to do it to prevent them from getting in trouble with their job. Cuz you might get in trouble for posting this.

Yo whoever signed this dude's SAAR is about to go to jail

[@USN-LT-Lee]

Although the DoD warning on the startup is good (all the words and stuff) I don’t think this is allowed due to OPSEC. And the money the government and military puts into its tech dept. and plus I currently use a dell laptop for naval engineering. If it is real must not be for field use

You have to plug an encyrpted usb stick into the computer to unlock it. Or use a NFC ID badge. Or RFID or whatever the fuck which one they use. It’s one of them I’ve seen it before

@@Chas4739 I wouldn’t be surprised is the soldier was in the room watching the repair and that’s to help him log in once the computer is repaired. I didn’t see a CAC when it was logged in though

I didn't serve in the Army. But I am absolutely sure that like the Navy/Marines. You have to use your encrypted DoD CAC card/pin to log in and locks the computer once the card is pulled. No card or card reader in sight. No single USB device plugged in. You really don't need to lie. Also, the Army, like all other branches have IT/ET service members who could have done this.

[@myriadtechrepair1191]

I never put them on until I get glass in my eye, lol.

[@george-broughton]

It's a surface. It isn't worth repairing. So, i worked in an organization that had these and they all eventually died of the same problem. The screens would ghost super bad and it was due to thermal expansion and contraction of the GPU, and how that damages the bonding between the silicon die and the the interposer it sits on, that is soldered to the motherboard. They'd do this after about 2 - 3 years of use. Not worth anyone's time unless it's solely for data recovery imo.

[@LovelyQueenAnna]

Guys, there isn't any vital information on that device. It logs into servers, so it's basically the same as the rest od the devices. Most government branches don't use inside people for these jobs because they don't get repaired, usually devices get wiped and re sold back to the manufacturer to get replaced, I imagine this device is set on one account for the branch and its more cost effective to repair it rather than replace it. THE MORE YOU KNOW.

[@ExplosiveQuarry]

How the f did you get a military tablet...? Was it some logistics soldier who got in trouble because they broke the screen?

[@wopboi5686]

More than likely.

[@renstar100]

You could get into trouble with the DoD if your workplace isn’t a secure area and you don’t have security clearance to be working on those devices if you aren’t contracted by the DoD and this is just someone getting their work machine fixed you shouldn’t do it again just in case

[@unknownworld8238]

You should have put a backdoor in it like nsa did to all people using intel cpu-powered computers since 2008

[@unknownworld8238]

I can be very accurate when I say that you either are trying to lie to me by acting that you don't know what's going on, or you're entirely new to this "weird" reply. It's not weird, in fact. 🙂 People are acting like this is scam/fake info when they see undocumented information. **UnDocumented** How can you get confidential info if it's obvuously not documented? "Simple. Because it's confidential, it's not making it public, therefore you (me) can't know about this!" Nooooo. The answer is : leaked info. How do I know it's legit? Not because Intel gets publicly nervous. It's becaude of the signature and certificates that were valid at the time (and due to e-forgery of certificates , they made artificially valid certificates too.)

[@unknownworld8238]

Remember, the CIA has specifically made a manual on how to be annoying.

[@unknownworld8238]

"You know too much" reply doesn't fit in there, because this information is not nearly close to 0.00000001% of the total information that people are interested in (generally speaking, not particularily tied to people that have spmething with @everyone like Kim Jong Un that it's kept secret.)
