Our NIPR computers would never go to an non-contracted entity. For example all of our computers and tablets get fixed by Dell technicians. This tablet was probably from the VA or some other agency that operates within the Army. It’s got some AGM baseline image as the regular imaged NIPR computers have a green background, not a blue one.
Devices are wiped clean and sanitized before leaving any facility. It has the Army banner the green unclassified which means it has an army image. Not sure if the guy was next to you to login with his cac but this is still against opsec.
Not necessarily. When I was at the Defense Language School, they had thousands of MacBooks that were past their service life. They had them redone as Windows computers and kept using them. In another unit I had a computer in my office that was still running windows 98 in 2016 because it had some bit of software they paid millions for and didn't want to pay again to have it updated.

Fun fact, that machine isn't allowed out of its user's possession for any reason. Unless you're contracted by the military to do these repairs both you and your customer may have committed a crime.

I did a covid mission back in 2021 and those were the exact laptops we used. We would go to a website to schedule walk-in covid vaccines. No CAC reader needed
They encrypt their local drives, actually. Certain stuff gets saved to the systems drive that can be restored so typically something like bit locker is used on the drive
@@ok-my3ho no, it's real. The US Army usually uses repair shops that are trusted and local to domestic garrisons. The drives are not only encrypted, but can be wiped or locked remotely.
The best part of the DOD is them telling you to practice good cyber security and to have all your security settings turned on, but in order for you to access their websites, you have to turn off all of your security settings
This brings me back to my old IT Support days for monterey defense language institute in Monterey, CA. DOD. I was replacing 150+ macbook internals a week.
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
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.
I hate these fragile glued on screens. We had a 20% failure rate on the Surface Pro 3 - battery, SSD, or WiFi , all of which require removing the screen. None were cracked when I started, and I heated them as much as possible without damaging the LCD or battery. They cracked anyway. I'd get close, but I suspect the small indents near the speakers and strong glue stressed the glass. The only time I've had an intact removal were when the battery got spicy and pushed it off from the inside.
I'm here wondering what soldier gave this to you 😂 The US army does not use independent repair tech to fix things, we just order new ones and dispose of the old one.
Smh as someone who worked in an S6 shop in the US Army, it makes me cringe that someone gave their DoD tablet to an independent repair shop. That could get you in so much trouble it's not even funny.
Being a DoD IT guy for over a decade I can tell you this. If an item was under warranty we sent issues like this back to the manufacturer. If they weren't under warranty, we'd remove the Hard Drive and essentially (auction) off the system to another government entity, typically school districts.
The US Army wouldn't outsource repairs... And anyone can create an interactive login warning screen like that through group policy. So it's either faked or an auctioned off tablet.
@@TheGerd while most data is in the cloud nowadays a lot of data still passes through a device through email, office files (word, excel, ect), and other general data.
It's not holding any info. It would have a shitty sticker saying otherwise. Plus you need a CAC card with there password to log on. I'm pretty sure it's a decommissioned military laptop. Supply has 20+ broken ones they send out to be destroyed or sold
Cyber security violations. If this under warranty you need to send it back to manufacture for repair. Not your local store for repair. If not under warranty, return it back to your unit.
Being a government authorized vendor is a ton of red tape. This looks like one of the recruiting offices Down the suite brought it over to get it repaired quickly and quietly. Little did he know he was gonna blow them up on TH-cam lmao. Also someone totally gave him their Government password to login!
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
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.)
"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.)

don’t worry
Hes Canadian lol
This is the 2nd time I've seen a repair creator not wear safety glasses beforehand... Like, why? Y'all think you're so confident with your skills until a *tiny* reminder hits you in the eye, with the potential to be blinded. Protect your eyes, people! They're a blessing and a luxury to have
Eyes are overrated
Him not showing the part where he searches the files
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
@@SupremeShuckle typically just a CAC into a CAC reader
@@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
"authorized use only" 💀
i'm guessing he was authorized, hmm...
My FSO would kill me
Fun fact, that machine isn't allowed out of its user's possession for any reason. Unless you're contracted by the military to do these repairs both you and your customer may have committed a crime.
shut up nigga

Most likely not a government laptop of any sorts. Every laptop I've worked on that is for any branch of the federal government requires smart card to login, and there's no way they would give you that ever.
Not on a tablet, which the military does use, anything they access such as databases obviously need a cac
@@brianbristofer-woods6788 Even on the tablets on ever military base and other government building I've been too, even on the tablets they have a USB attachment that they put their smart card into. Also he shows it logged in which is even less likely they would give or even show the desktop.
I did a covid mission back in 2021 and those were the exact laptops we used. We would go to a website to schedule walk-in covid vaccines. No CAC reader needed
@@mysticlamp8310It was severely neutered and couldn't do much other than that.

All the data is probably in the cloud and not localized on the device. Taking the hard drive would not reveal you any secrets
They encrypt their local drives, actually. Certain stuff gets saved to the systems drive that can be restored so typically something like bit locker is used on the drive
It's a clickbait
@@ok-my3ho no, it's real. The US Army usually uses repair shops that are trusted and local to domestic garrisons. The drives are not only encrypted, but can be wiped or locked remotely.
The best part of the DOD is them telling you to practice good cyber security and to have all your security settings turned on, but in order for you to access their websites, you have to turn off all of your security settings
I'm here imagining that there were 5 army officers supervising him when he was doing the video
This brings me back to my old IT Support days for monterey defense language institute in Monterey, CA. DOD. I was replacing 150+ macbook internals a week.
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
That guy probably didn’t want to get in trouble for breaking it but is now gonna get fired lol
@@robertct06 sounds like something I’d do if I was an enlisted man
He was never supposed to be able to touch that device. Someone is in big trouble.
Ooh
Not at all, most DOD property shit is just business laptops with itineraries of civilian contractors working st the on base mechanics shop etc.
@@marcusborderlands6177I highly doubt this guy has a clearance for it. They don't outsource shit to small companies/single owner shops.
"i got glass in my eye" he said it calmly...
Bro. This isn't phone repair guru???
Nope
xqcL
US Military, probably the richest single entitity outside of 5 other countries, and they outsource repairs to some guy on TH-cam?
Prob used in a recruitment center at a mall lmfao not the pentagon bruh... calm down
Probably was issued to a specific soldier and he didn’t want to turn it in damaged and get in trouble so he sent it to this guy.
Inflation sucks bro lol
I accidentally broke customer's screen yesterday. Came in for a battery replacement :(
I don't take in Surface devices for repair anymore for this reason
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.
thank you bro
Please post about the FBI showing up at your house!
It's cool; just say it belongs to a Biden.
G6 watching this video:
😬
I never put them on until I get glass in my eye, lol.
I hate these fragile glued on screens. We had a 20% failure rate on the Surface Pro 3 - battery, SSD, or WiFi , all of which require removing the screen. None were cracked when I started, and I heated them as much as possible without damaging the LCD or battery. They cracked anyway. I'd get close, but I suspect the small indents near the speakers and strong glue stressed the glass.
The only time I've had an intact removal were when the battery got spicy and pushed it off from the inside.
For anyone wondering: decommissioned and fell into wrong hands or this is completely fake.
US military has people for this, not TH-camrs lmfaom
You're either the most moto dumb ass or just have no clue what you're talking about and have never served. 😂
Bad idea for you to disclose this
"I got glass in my eye" Dumbledore said calmly
this the type of stuff you'd imagine to see after ww3
This guy reminds me of Phone Repair Guru
He was recorded the whole time 😭😭😭 they was not letting your ass go on and repair this without supervision 🤣🤣🤣
'always practise good cyber security'
*runs windows 10
bro did a face reaveal accidentally💀
he’s shown himself a lot in the past lol
"And then I'm gonna grab the hard drive, no reason"
I'm here wondering what soldier gave this to you 😂 The US army does not use independent repair tech to fix things, we just order new ones and dispose of the old one.
Corporations too. Yeah, customer is a big dummy lol
Little did he know that the computer had the answer to why the guy in the math problem bought so many apples
this comment deserves a million dollars
Smh as someone who worked in an S6 shop in the US Army, it makes me cringe that someone gave their DoD tablet to an independent repair shop. That could get you in so much trouble it's not even funny.
It was labeled unclass and a stand-alone. If it was properly sanctioned, they’ll be fine
@@anthonyperkins3513 All of them are labeled unclass and what do you even mean by stand alone? 😂
Military CS personel: 🗿
Being a DoD IT guy for over a decade I can tell you this. If an item was under warranty we sent issues like this back to the manufacturer. If they weren't under warranty, we'd remove the Hard Drive and essentially (auction) off the system to another government entity, typically school districts.
Someone’s deffo going military prison for taking that too you 😂
Then I copy the hard drive and inspect the current state of memory
ah yes because everything wouldn't be encrypted
good to know the military still has to go through the same bullshit as us on the little things
No no, its worse. Whoever turned to this just dodged a 45 day extra duty with below minimum wage.
Someone didn't want to get caught off base with this
Looks like a low sec device handled to third parties only
😐
So like military schools?
Your desk is almost an actual replica of prg's desk (phone repair Guru)
I know this guys just a at home prg
The US Army wouldn't outsource repairs... And anyone can create an interactive login warning screen like that through group policy. So it's either faked or an auctioned off tablet.
Wow
I don't think the military would auction off something like this. Flash storage is easier to recover deleted data from even if it's been written over.
@@silasmayes7954 most data on these isn't actually on the drives, everything I've worked with has been web based or on external drives.
@@TheGerd while most data is in the cloud nowadays a lot of data still passes through a device through email, office files (word, excel, ect), and other general data.
I was someone that was issued that computer and broke it, then took it to that guy so they didnt get in trouble or have to pay for a brand new one.
How the f did you get a military tablet...? Was it some logistics soldier who got in trouble because they broke the screen?
More than likely.
My man taking independent military contracts now
It's not holding any info. It would have a shitty sticker saying otherwise. Plus you need a CAC card with there password to log on. I'm pretty sure it's a decommissioned military laptop. Supply has 20+ broken ones they send out to be destroyed or sold
CAC* not cac card bruh
@@jlilechacc3901 my bad let me just go back and fix everything I missed spell or pronounced since birth.please hold.... BRUH.!
@@alexandercarranza5158 you should go ahead and do that
Has to be lol
@@alexandercarranza5158 lmao I’m fuckin with ya
Top secret info? Let me put it on TH-cam
U.S government watching this video: were watching you and dont try to uncover the secrets
Let's be honest, nobody actually does the cyber awareness challenge. We all just us quizzlet.
Yo whoever signed this dude's SAAR is about to go to jail
Bypass the DoD warning real casual like
Cyber security violations. If this under warranty you need to send it back to manufacture for repair. Not your local store for repair. If not under warranty, return it back to your unit.
Department of Dudds
Me: mom can we have a phone repair guru
Mom: we have a PRG at home
The PRG:
💀
Bold of ppl to assume that device wasnt cleaned of sensitive data before. Being sent to repair... the screen was cracked is all.
Being a government authorized vendor is a ton of red tape. This looks like one of the recruiting offices Down the suite brought it over to get it repaired quickly and quietly. Little did he know he was gonna blow them up on TH-cam lmao.
Also someone totally gave him their Government password to login!
Should always tape the screens when removing them. Avoids glass in eyes
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
And I thought school devices aren’t the only one that’s protected
You should have put a backdoor in it like nsa did to all people using intel cpu-powered computers since 2008
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.)
Remember, the CIA has specifically made a manual on how to be annoying.
"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.)
