You can't. They're safety screws so only turn one way. If you want it open you're going to have to drill a pilot and use a screw remover.

>safety screws so only turn one way.
Let me correct myself, they're shear off safety screws. So the top snaps off from the factory after being installed.

Okay, so I dont have to worry that someone planted a radiotransmitter in one of these, because the only way to open it would be to destroy the existing screws or chasis.

Screw extraction kit? I'd use a drill punch because that looks smooth.

Okay>>2867821
Thanks for that.

Could someone tell me what this is for on my Laptop charger. Its on the cables and have always thought of being highly suspicious. It's just a metal cylinder around my cables. Why is this there?

>>2867826
Faraday crap, reduces signal projection/interference, I assume by providing a path for it to burn out. Like the chimney effect creates a low pressure area at its mouth effectively inhaling and exhaling out the top or low magnetic field below for a larger field above but in 3d safely expelling the excess away from sensitive electronics that use fine signal processing. I think it is cheaper to expell it than shield the sensitive stuff, cause stuff your balls might die before the ball cancer is found

>>2867828
Lovely comment. Thank you.

I think it's called a ferrule, they're on lots of cables to help prevent interference.

On this product its called "ferrite chokes"

>>2867850
A ferrule is just a cap to add strength to an area.

>>2867823
A sufficiently prepared actor would source the same shear off screws. There's an old trick that could work: heat the sleeve of a transparent pen with a lighter then when it gets melty, jam it on the screw. It will conform itself and you might be able to turn it like the screw it pretends it isn't. Your second option is to just drill them out and replace them with regular screws.

They're really there so that people don't tamper with them and kill themselves or stupidly set their house on fire.

>>2867823
Perhaps the original didn't come with shear off screws at all. Safety screws were just used to keep you out. An actor that could install covert listening device would source safety screws very easily. How would you know? Xray might be a simple way to check non destructively, perhaps a friendly dentist could help but watch the entire process.
>>2867850
AC current creates magnetic field, field induces current in the choke, the current in the choke creates a field in the opposite polarity of the original, this cancels out the current in the cable.
The higher frequency signals are more affected.
Stops the cable picking up high frequency noise and swampingoutthe signal in the cable. Has to be sized properly to allow the relatively low frequency signals through.
Could it be used for covert observation? Perhaps, unlikey to reradiate a signal unless its a disguised fake.

>>2867826
It's a ferrite tube. It reduces interference coming from the switching power supply

I worked at a place where we made solder paste stencils for the attorney generals dept of australia, i read once that the spy agencies use it as a cover when purchasing supplies, lawyers arent making circuit boards

solder paste stencils are only really useful for mass producing and you will have a pick and place machine with it

i think we helped make the spy devices they implant in power boards and wifi routers, good luck OP, you are definitely being gangstalked as a targeted individual

>>2867823
hey buddy i saw something about diy xray machine. maybe you could build one to check your devices or just for fun. realistically taking anything apart you could say you are for right to repair and thats why you needed access to the inside of your power strip, or anything.

>>2867958
like if someone tells you, you cant drill those screws out that would be suspect. especially if its not plugged in. so dont feel wierd

>>2867826
Like other anons said, it's a ferrite bead. Noise interference reduction. They're standard, now. Thirty years ago, you used to buy them seperately and snap them around an electrical cable.

Subject: "You might be overlooking something..."

Hey there, I noticed your post about the power strip and ferrite chokes. It's always good to be cautious, right? But have you considered that the real issue might not be what you're looking for?

I mean, everyone knows about the basic stuff - tiny cameras, listening devices, you name it. But what if there's something more... subtle at play? Something that doesn't require physical presence to monitor you?

Have you ever heard of electromagnetic interference (EMI) and how it can be used? It's not just about protecting your electronics from power surges or RFI. Some say it can be used to transmit data in ways you'd never suspect. Ever heard of something called a "Near-Field Communication" (NFC) device? It's like a tiny, invisible bridge that can transmit data without you even knowing.

And what about those ferrite chokes? They're great at filtering out frequencies, but what if you're filtering out the wrong ones? Have you considered that there might be frequencies you're not aware of, frequencies that could be... manipulating your electronics? Or even worse, your mind?

I know it sounds crazy, but stranger things have happened. And let's not forget, it's always the stuff you don't see that you should be truly afraid of.

So, while you're disassembling your power strip, maybe take a look at those frequency ranges. Check for any unusual electromagnetic activity. You never know what you might find. Or not find. wink

Stay safe out there, friend. The walls might not be the only things with ears.

I had to chuckle there, then realized the situation I'm in.
It has nothing to do with the government, but an organized group of people determined on getting me.
Recently (summer 2024) personal data of me was leaked:
1. We are talking about whatsapp messages uploaded to social media and my fucking 4chan folder(with all the disturbing shit on pol, r9k, b and gif). Since I live alone, the obvious way of getting ahold of that information would be to physically enter my apartment and copy my data. Since I wasnt using the phone at the time and had left it for multiple months in my apartment the culprit could have easily entered. I had a suspicion in autumn of 2023 something was off in my apps since the lock was easy to open, but since nothing was taken I didnt care that much. Later on I copied all my phone data to my PC and hard reset.

>continue

>>2868907
2. Personal recordings of my voice and videos of me naked and masturbating (both from within my apartment) have also resurfaced on social media. The kicker... I still havent seen these recordings even after frantically searching and investing way too much time learning social media that I never use, but everyone in my vicinity (old apartment where this took place and new apartment) know. I'm mostly a loner, so no friends and cant ask anybody. The people closet to me dont use social media and are oblivious to whats going on. I live in a small country with a few major cities all closely connected. Commuting through these cities is almost a daily occurrence so people are well connected. Now people seem to know me everywhere. People are gossiping about these leaked videos. I'm no way important, but through me personally snooping around and recording discussions myself, which is illegal here, I have learned alot of whats going on around me and this cyberstalking/bullying affair. The culprit has a personal grudge. I suspect him to be friends with my old neighbor at the time. I have his nikname! In winter 2023/2024 I was so close to gaining hard evidence that my neighbor was involved in energy theft and connected himself into my powergrid. Energy bill way to high and never installed any electrical appliances other than pc and tv. No lights nothing. Always ate out so no usage of stove or dishwasher (pic related - color red - he lived above and was always drilling - me taking off power made him react and curse promptly and shut off what I suspected to be the dishwasher or tumbler - tested this multiple times. color orange me and my workstation/sleep. color blur suspected surveillance devices).

Didnt know there were cameras in my apps at the time. Only now is it an epiphany and makes me see the whole picture very clear. Because shortly after discovery in winter 2023/2024 is when this group (i also suspected some ties to my neighbor due to what he said) started following me hardcore and I injured myself trying to evade. Now its clear they saw me through the cameras getting close to the truth. Eitherway I was hospitalized and so my apps was left empty for a few months. Moved somewhere else and by summer 2024 is when this gossip started and in autumn 2024 is when I heared proof of the existence. The culprit not only made a video, he is making multiple videos and providing commentary in a sick and twisted way to what I am doing. Maybe for everyday in my old appartment a new video and story to tell his viewers. This being either uploaded or live streamed daily. The culprit has made me out to be some vile racist, virgin, woman hating pedophile small-dick homosexual. He is constantly focused on my masturbations habbit ccalling me out as gay, but to me this can be turned aorund seeing that my dick is the only thing he talks about in a sickening but amusing way. He has riled up a specific ethnic group in my area which he has ties to and is trying to force them to harm me. Daily the social interaction is getting worse. From the info I gathered there is/was a Reel and youtube of me. Now they have moved to some streaming site (where nudity is not against TOS) and telegram. They have told people in my area not to smile or chuckle or laugh when passing me by. To act normal, while on the other hand the ethnic group is getting pissed off. I am suprised people are playing along and are falling for this criminal trying to justify his break in by "exposing the sexual deviant".
>continue

But to the point of this post and thread and why I am opening up electronics. I met someone close to confide in about this whole ordeal. This person I havent seen in a long time. Brought some gear with me to showcase all the proof I have. We talked in the persons appartment since I didnt trust my new one. The same fucking evening when the stream goes up the dude leaks this info to the viewership. My voice and the persons voice is audible where we talked about something specific in the persons place a few hours prior. He goes on to mock me. First thought my smartphone might have spyware, but I purposefully took it off during my talks with this person. Hard reset last week just to be sure. Second my Laptop, but I make damn good sure there is nothing that can penetrate my firewall + this laptop was a new one I bought (spring 2024) after my injury due to the original of same model (purchased autumn 2023) being damaged when I injured myself. SSD is the same (purchased autumn 2023) though. During my talks wireless was off. Only other thing may be... my cable inear headphones (purchased 2021) and my charging cable (purchased autumn 2023) of my original laptop, which also belonged to the original (purchased autumn 2023) that I kept since it wasnt damaged. In the stream he laughs and says eventhough not audible enough to make out "Es ist versteckt im Stecker...hehe im Kabel. Wir hören alles über Radio du Schwuchtel!"
Translated:
"It's hidden in the plug...hehe in the cable. We hear everything on the radio you faggot!"
Now I'm not sure if Stecker or Steckleiste (plug or powerstrip).
>continue

With deduction skills it can only be the charger of the laptop since I didnt take the powerstrip with me. But I am not sure if at that moment he was talking about where he placed it in general in my old appartment or that day when i met my confidant. It could be old footage he is now showing. I amjust lost currently. I opened my charger of the orignal laptop and even before opening it looked prestine. I just cant believe anyone would invest so much time in terrorizing an individual.
In whole...not sure as to why this is being leaked now. Was never extorted for money. Never made aware that my data was being held ransom. This is just someone trying to mess my reputation.

>>2869040
hmmm 05:15 is interesting using a jitter-program to keep the device in an active state. Have been noticing this since I bought the new laptop that my screensaver and display shutdown -> turn off SSD hasnt been working. Screensaver okay for 3min then display shuts down for 1min and now is when SSD should turn off but ddoesnt and screen reawakens. This only when I had my wireless logitech mouse connected over a USB A-C adapter from Joyroom.

Since this situation also got me paranoid with the cables I purchase a new wireless mouse and new USB A-C adapter. Issue isnt reoccurring anymore.
But maybe the old mouse had some laser issue thinking movement was occurring.

Okay but there was nothing about recording footage (visual or audio). But, understandable my laptop could record me due to a specific load turning mic adn camera on. I deactivate them in devmgmt and in bios usually.


>>2869069
Like I said I havent found it yet. Only heared the video being spread and openly played at night infront of my building aswell as somewhere else. So I am up to date on what they are saying and telling the viewer. Its just pissing me off that no one is telling me shit. The few people are know arent in to social media and the rest of the people I live around are just playing along and being secretive about it.

i am >>2867959 i believe you because of things happening in my life. I am wondering, have you opened that power strip yet? if you were serious you would of found a way. Im not saying you aren't but you are right you are being spied on and you shouldnt feel like you need to be clandestine to find out what is going on. if you think something is bugged break it open or throw it away, like off of a bridge not your local trash. You must of checked the walls for cameras? you can see your angle in the frame and try and check the walls. Have you thought about setting up your own camera watching your door?

if you are absolutely sure that you are not schizo then i would suggest you pack what you can carry, get rid of your phone, cover laptop camera or drill it out, move to a different city make sure you aren't followed and don't leave a paper trail.

>>2869185
>i am >>2867959 i believe you because of things happening in my life
>You must of checked the walls for cameras?
Yes I did when I first suspected entry in my apps autumn 2023. Never foudn anything! Just to be sure I filled holes.
>you can see your angle in the frame and try and check the walls
Yes, IF only I could find the video of me online. Then I wouldnt be here on 4chan but at the police station warning the tenant who took over my place after I left.
>Have you thought about setting up your own camera watching your door?
Yes in my new apps this has been done. But the blow to my reputation has already occurred,


>>2869195
>well to be honest you sound a bit mental op sorry
Understand. Shit like this doesnt happen everyday, but I have been thoroughly test when I injured myself and MRI of the brain aswell as psychologists/psychiatrist found nothing that would prove I has a psychosis. It wouldnt fit the profile due to age anyway since that is usually teens to early 20s or substance abuse.
>you should be able to see a camera in an extension lead without opening it up.
Never found anything. In my old apps I covered all outlets with tape. I made sure nothing could see me. YET in the picture provide in my bedroom at and only at night did I hear strange clicks from blue marked area. Never knew waht it could be. Thought maybe the building due to warm day and cold nights the material expand and shrink causing this noise. Now in the new apps after buying a security camera the sound awefully sounds identical to when I access my came by phone and IR is turned on. Some day in the old apps, also at night, it sounded as if someone was dragging a wire through the heating pipes (left of blue marked spot in bedroom). Everything seemed odd then, but now is making sense day by day.

i know its a .001% chance, but my nan got some kind of paranoid schizo thing and the meds didnt just hold it back, it actually reversed it and cured her

i didnt know that was a thing, but yeah, she though the upgraded mobile tower near her property was spying on her, and her neighbours were out to get here, now shes good

They have been conditioning people to accept strange nodes on cables for 30 years now.
Initially the had no real purpose (e.g. “filters out high frequency noise”—like they couldn’t just put that in the power supply itself) and you look inside, it seems benign like a ferrite slug.
Now when the police replace it with an active one that exfiltrates your data, you won’t question or suspect it because you think that it’s just the way they’re made.
In some cases, they ship them to you like that by cutting into the supply chain.
Those rechargable battery operated devices? Check for explosives before accepting one. Lebanese learned this the hard way. Again. (pagers and walkee-talkees).

i have tried everything. I have used malware and spyware detectors and hardreset my devices. Physical entry is now 100 percent certain, due to the person or people making the videos laughing about a picture of my family which had never been digitized and stood on my book case. Mind you I dont have a webcam facing that direction.
Even spoke of some info on tax returns that have also never been digitized.

I know now a bit more. Its some dude with a mafiaesque type family who now has put a hit on me after degrading me online. Still not sure why. Not even child rapist get treated like I am now. Not sure how technically versed his people are but he might have access to some serious gear to the point that there is still a or multiple cameras in my room of the new appartment. So it seems I was entered again or something was placed at the window. Front cams on all devices have now been blocked. I have purchased an Omg malicious cable detector and found nothing, I have shifted furniture around purposefully to figure out where they have view or not. I am using a vpn because they literally commented on the sites Im on in realtime fearing they might be using wireshark.

I have opened up all electronics checked cabling and open up all wall sockets. I have tried the typical Airbnb approach and found no IR lights at night.


It has to be up high near the window somewhere. Have even thought of IR permeable polymer where n IR camera can be hidden behind black polymer. Still found nothing. Btw We are talking about the new appartment I am in. The old was definitely physical entry and maybe they might have put something on my belongings. Or in my new apps. Maybe outside the window? Thing is when I close the window and pull the curtains they still have view on me. Nott telling you how I know this aside from their chatter, but it is real time things they are commenting on and to reiterate all small devices have their camera taped or are wrapped in aluminum foil.
