2017-06-21 at 3:50 AM UTC in How to make candy?Toffee
Toffee from the UK (a chewy variant) in cellophane wrapping.
This article refers to the sweet. For the Premier League team known as "the Toffees" see Everton F.C.
Toffee is a confection made by caramelizing sugar or molasses (creating inverted sugar) along with butter, and occasionally flour. The mixture is heated until its temperature reaches the hard crack stage of 149 to 154 °C (300 to 310 °F). While being prepared, toffee is sometimes mixed with nuts or raisins.
Creation
The process of making toffee requires the boiling of ingredients until the mix is stiff enough to be pulled into a shape which holds and has a glossy surface. The resulting mixture will typically be poured into a shallow tray and allowed to cool to form a slab. Different mixes, processes, and most importantly, temperatures, will result in different textures and hardnesses, from soft and often sticky to a hard, brittle material. A brown color, and smoky taste, is imparted to the toffee by the caramelization of the sugars.
Variants and applications
A popular variant in the US is English toffee, which is a very buttery toffee often made with almonds. It is available in both chewy and hard versions. Heath bars are a type of confection made with an English toffee core. Although named English toffee it bears little resemblance to the wide range of confectionery known as toffee currently available in the United Kingdom. However, one can still find this product in the UK under the name "buttercrunch."
Another variant is honeycomb toffee, which is an aerated version with bubbles introduced by adding baking soda and vinegar while mixing. These react to form carbon dioxide, which is trapped in the highly viscous mixture. In the UK and Canada, the most well known honeycomb confection is the Crunchie bar. A similar Australian chocolate bar is the Violet Crumble. In New Zealand, toffee flavoured ice cream is called hokey pokey.
A particular application of toffee is in toffee apples, sometimes called candy apples, which are apples coated with hard toffee mounted on sticks. Toffee apples are similar to taffy apples and caramel apples, which are both covered in caramel.
Toffee used in confectionery can be mixed with many different ingredients to produce a variety of flavors: rum and butter, chocolate covered, vanilla and chocolate, rum and raisin, raspberry, and honeycomb.
Etymology
The origins of the word are unknown. Food writer Harold McGee claims it to be "from the Creole for a mixture of sugar and molasses", but which creole language is not specified. The Oxford English Dictionary dates the first publication of the word to 1825 and identifies it as a variation of taffy, both of which are first recorded as English dialectical words.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

If I wanted to taste test I'd wipe the main load off and then dab my finger in my mouth, then go rinse my mouth out, alot easier to be like "fuck it" and do it that way, and it's such a small trace amount that it wouldn't actually "count".The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

2017-05-19 at 5:43 AM UTC in Intel's Management EngineSHORT VERSION:
Intel's Management Engine, or Active Management Technology, depending on where you look is a low-level subsystem that's attached to every Intel chip produced after 2008 (I believe). It runs whenever the chip is powered (even if the computer itself is switched off), and it's purpose is to 'provide trust' that the processor isn't compromised. It's completely invisible to the user, but has complete access to the processor as well as access to power up or down the machine, interfere with the boot process, send/receive TCP network traffic through it's own independent MAC forwarded by the network adapter and run arbitrary code locally. Efforts to dump it's code and understand it's workings, potentially leading to an exploit are underway but due to the way the core firmware is compressed and obfuscated, as well as peripheral functions being stored on ROM chips, makes progress very difficult.
When it's exploited, if it hasn't been already, every machine running a recent Intel chip will be outfitted with a rootkit that can't be disabled (breaking or disabling the ME coprocessor forces the computer to shut down on a timer). Don't think switching to AMD will make much of a difference either... They have a very similar system (TrustZone) that's implemented via an on-chip ARM coprocessor.
TECHNICAL:
The AMT unit itself is a separate on-chip coprocessor that has several supporting components such as ROM and RAM for firmware and temporary data storage as well as a 'DMA engine' that allows it unfettered access to memory in use by the user-installed operating system, meaning it can potentially subvert the program flow of Windows, Lunix or whatever OS you're using without any warning or indication. It also has it's own simple TCP stack which has been demonstrated to be insecure in the past; it has a hardcoded MAC address different to the standard NIC and is essentially able to relay through the NIC to forward requests to the internet or LAN. The ME engine itself is composed of the core firmware which is compressed, encrypted and obfuscated, only decoded on the fly to run commands, and modules and components stored on ROM chips, which cannot be dumped or accessed directly.
The original purpose of the AMT was to provide trust for the CPU itself; you may compile applications from source because you want to be able to see what it does before you 'trust' it enough to compile, but you then also need to be able to trust the compiler that builds it, and dependencies that get linked in and anything that runs below the application, ie. the operating system, drivers used and the like. You can continually move down the chain, checking source or watching applications' behaviour to verify they're working as advertised, but once you get to hardware, specifically the processor in this case, it's a black box - there's no way to directly view the source, so the only way to 'trust' that it's not compromised is through a third-party that can verify such. This begs the question of how you can verify that the third-party is trustworthy - you can't. One of it's popular uses now is to facilitate remote installations and administration functionality on behalf of sysadmins.
OTHER:
It would surprise me if some of the betabet agencies don't already have access to this - it may have even be among the exploits stolen from the NSA's archives, but hasn't been released because whoever released them publicly knew of it's value. Much of the system's code is stored on ROM chips and untouchable; it cannot be reflashed or updated meaning that if an exploit exists in it, there is nothing users can do to protect themselves - they'd literally need to buy a new processor once Intel gets around to patching or rewriting the AMT codebase.
Manufacturers have ostensibly worked with NSA contractors in the past, specifically in the case of harrdrive firmware exploits used to cache and transmit data - without co-operation from the major harddrive manufacturers, such an exploit would take years to develop per manufacturer, and there are around 10 of them.
COUNTERMEASURES:
At the moment, there's very little that can be done to mitigate your risk of being exploited because even if no exploit exists today, it will. Disabling the AMT platform causes the computer to shut down after a countdown, but it's been observed that if chunks of the WMT's firmware are erased or overwritten, it stays in the 'running' state but stops responding
You may be able to sniff TCP data to/from the platform by enhancementing by MAC address, but I'm not sure how possible it is to mask those requests.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

I'd introduce it to a hay-maker to start, then I'd knee it in the stomach, grab its head in a grip of steel headlock, twist it onto its back, and then break its neck with the heel of my foot. That werewolf would wish he never left his mother's cave once I was done with it.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!
