I bought one of the effected laptops back in December. However, I put in a SSD with lunix and never booted into windows first thing when I got it. Lunix Rocks!
The problem is you end up recreating TCP to do anything useful and your "artisanal protocol" written using UDP has subtle vulnerabilities. It's only a matter of time before someone uses it for this year's amplification attack.
The overheating leading to death if you dose it wrong is at the top of the list.
The difference between this DNP and the DNP you can buy on the blackmarket is that the DNP used in these modern fatty-liver studies is time released in smaller doses.
Users can expect to lose about ~1lb/day. But, it is very hard on you. You want to learn how to lose weight on a caloric deficit and macronutrient partitioning, about 1lb/week, and stick to a diet for at least a year before you even consider this. Otherwise, you don't have the right habits.
DNP is still somewhat popular with bodybuilders looking to cut weight.
It has some very powerful side-effects though, like insomnia, sweating non-stop, and death if you take a few extra mcg than you should have. Ephedrine and caffeine are a lot safer.
Most who have done DNP say it is one of the worst experiences of their life.
All of this is just a publicity stunt and you all fell for it.
Making a specific threat like this is completely out of line with the way the regime works. They work by brinkmanship; they learned in the 80s that they can't effectively use terrorism as they have a physical nexus.
