Isn't this the most innocent looking creature you have ever seen? There is absolutely not mischief going on here, only innocent raccoons to be found here.

The ancient 2012 MacBook Air (edit it's actually a 2019 i5 model) is stuck in an internet recovery/activation (recovery assistant) loop as it is linked to my friend's account. Can't get into disk utils or anything. He can no longer find it in his list and won't give me his password. Tried the verification code and it then asked for his password again.
Is it worth taking the disk out and zapping any partitions? Would this remove the ability to reinstall it? Or could I recreate a new local (or internet) installer?
I know absolutely nothing about Macs and really need someone authoritative to guide me through this as I don't have the bandwidth at the moment to dive into the guts of this.
Boosts welcome (I'm trying to set it up for my neighbour's daughter).
@da_667 I figured you'd be more along the lines of STOP CARRYING OUT YOUR INTENTIONS.
@da_667 I AM ON FIRE; KEEP CLEAR OF ME
@Jirikiha @_elena @cwicseolfor @skinnylatte IIRC they didn't appropriately winterize the supporting infrastructure in that plant and a few others. ERCOT had a few ok-ish writeups on it.
@Viss Man, I learned my lesson about nightly builds of shit years ago. Your rec has me thinking about it, though.
@SwiftOnSecurity By Mac terminal do you mean a Mac Mini doing work for you or something else?
I have a setup something like this, but more complicated - 2 desktops, 1 laptop, using Deskflow / Barrier on a non-routed network to link to 1 mouse / kb. The windows laptop has a full data sync of the important data so I can grab and go, if necessary, and not be worried.
@Viss I'm currently looking for a new mastodon / fedi app and Tusky is probably next on my list to try. Most are decent, few seem great.
@samuraiplumber The web seems to mention a Sunbeam, which should fit. Seems to be the smaller, later Sunbeam Alpine (Tiger) mark 4 version, maybe.
I can't quite make the beltline work in photos, but the proportions fit.

@drahardja Could this have been a situation of 2 rich people bidding against each other more than a market indication? I feel like there's a lot of money looking for places to go right now and it winds up causing auction results like this fairly often recently.

telnetd server invokes /usr/bin/login (normally running as root) passing the value of the USER environment variable received from the client as the last parameter.
If the client supply a carefully crafted USER environment value being the string "-f root", and passes the telnet(1) -a or --login parameter to send this USER environment to the server, the client will be automatically logged in as root bypassing normal authentication processes
In telnetd for a decade đź’€

Can you believe it's been a month already, Windows (ab)users? Yes, that's right, it's Patch Tuesday, or depending on when you're reading this Reboot Wednesday!
Microsoft today issued patches to plug at least 113 security holes in its various Windows operating systems and supported software. Eight of the vulnerabilities earned Microsoft’s most-dire “critical” rating, and the company warns that attackers are already exploiting one of the bugs fixed today.
