    Excuse me while i do something dangerous


    You must have a sad, sad boring life if you hate on people harmlessly enjoying life with an animal costume.

    Sometimes you need to break shit to fix it.... Thats why my lawnmower doesn't have a deadman switch or engine brake anymore

        filevault uses AES-128-XTS, which has no known exploits. you can try brute force, but that's slow a tedious. There is nothing apple can do, the FBI can't even easily get into it!
