@telescoper In my circular laundry accelerator, I have discovered that certain other particles, notably J-eans and S-hirts, will mask a sock by surrounding it for a long time. My science team have even discovered a sock hidden in J-eans days after the experiment! We currently have a paper-being-pressed at Laundry Review Letters B.

they are a grown ass commercial software vendor who has known, for years, by design, that they effectively deliver a rootkit into enterprise systems and, often, critical infrastructure
