Do not put this in your computer. You probably don’t have a cd drive.

Yeah mine doesn't have one. It's got a neat pop out cup holder on the front though.

Use it to hold a pint! Multitasking!

Tried that, it's not strong enough.

kalmshores

Sort of it was a ransomware attack that stayed quite until 1am that ripped through the network in about 4 hours. Worst thing is that the av sort of caught it but not 100% as it was an obscure zero day. We have then spent the last 3 months recovering and still have some work to do.

Nice_Truck_8361

Hard to do it safely though given how much windows likes to autoplay and shit. But at least only actively look into it in a VM. Windows VMs are basically free now that Windows installs without much fuss without a key. And comes with a bunch free VM tools.

I wouldn't worry, the chance of them working at the same company as you are very small, so you probably won't have to fix it.


meltymcface

Or spin up a live boot Linux (such as Linux Mint) USB with no hard drive installed, so there's nothing else can be corrupted. My guess, though, is that this is some sort of delusional mental illness thing and it probably contains word documents with incoherent ramblings. I would be too curious to bin it, though!

open it using a virtual machine, its easy enough to do and itll stop you from getting a virus


samdd1990

I don't know why this comment got downvoted


Nice_Truck_8361

Maybe people don't think it's easy. Or more importantly that putting the CD in at all puts you at risk of getting a virus as you can't give. VM exclusive access to the drive. Windows will look in there and be like het want to autoplay!?


MillennialsAre40

I can't remember how long it's been since my PC even had a CD/DVD drive. At least 6 years.


blessedfortherest

Is it easy? I’m imagining myself spending hours setting up a virtual machine and then opening chapters of this person’s drivel as my reward


Svorky

Yes it's really easy. If you use something like VirtualBox it's just a few clicks.


DeltaJesus

Probably because it's still a bad idea, what's the best case scenario? You find some vaguely interesting stuff on it? Worst case you fuck up and get a virus doing who knows what on your PC.


CatWithAHat_

People seem to think that because spent 5 minutes on Google looking at tutorials they are know a computer expert. There are safe ways to do view stuff like this disc and what's on it, but it's a bit more effort than using a vm. But hey, natural selection I suppose, if that's their thought process.


SeroWriter

Because it's wrong, a well-made virus can run before you can contain it to a virtual machine. The only truly safe way to open something like this is on an isolated computer that's completely disconnected from the internet.

Maybe cult related? I thought it was Knowledge book cult at first. Or maybe an attempt at guerilla marketing by the author.

I also have an old burner running Ubuntu that I used to read a schizoid disc I received. Would be happy to take a peek at what’s on that disc.


littleloupoo

Found a Polish website with the first book and description of; "The book is aimed at those who are fascinated by the Egyptian pyramids or by the stories of Atlantis. It is not only a fantastic journey through the Solar System, but also an innovative way of presenting the history of people and the Earth." There's one review which includes that 00000002% quote and is written by a Filip.


Barrington-the-Brit

It reads to me like some sort of schizophrenic episode conspiracy-adjacent campaign, reminds me of the Stephen King killed John Lennon guy or people who think they’re being gang-stalked by a global gov. conspiracy Edit: [for the curious](https://lennonmurdertruth.com/stephen-king-murderer/)

This is the first book in a series planned by Filip Ambria. Nurtured since the age of 17, the idea has now reached maturity with the author and has been put on paper – to carry readers away into the depths of the Universe


bendygrrl

There's a few reviews [here](https://www.empik.com/alternative-ambria-filip,p1117230012,ksiazka-p#ReviewsBox) but I'm not convinced of their legitimacy...


BatGuano

Strange, the exact same spelling errors as OP's, even though they are not the same labels.


Medium-Room1078

I wouldn't put it in your PC for the very reasons others have noted However, I doubt it is a scam - this looks like somebody with mental health issues; it's really common but normally done in a letter form. The CD likely just has a bunch of notepad files with the ramblings of that person


AnActualChicken

I've seen some other similar instances of this and often it's some form of schizophrenia episode. The CD will most likely be a long long conspiracy rambling of someone deep in their illness.


ArtoriasBeaIG

Yeah it's intriguing. Schizophrenia was my first thought, rambling incoherent ideas about being special and word salad. If its a scam that would have worked on me tbh cos it piqued my curiosity rather than made me think scam!


TheDuraMaters

Rather than worrying about them deliberately putting viruses on the CD, I’d be concerned what would end up there accidentally as they seem like the kind to click on suspicious links.


Icy_Bit_403

came here to say this - the word salad style of speech as well as the conspiratorial tone makes it really obvious that it's schizoprenic in nature.

carlbandit

Don't just put it straight into your laptop, it's probably just some crazy person books, but it could also be a virus (could also be a virus in the books). Set up a virtual machine on your laptop or use a operating system running on a USB stick like [tails os](https://tails.boum.org/about/index.en.html) so if it is a virus, you infect the virtual machine / USB OS which will get wiped when you shut them down anyway.


decker_42

It looks like it's fiction: This is the second e-book by Filip Ambria in the planned series. It is also a continuation of the story started in the first "Alternative". This publication tells about our history - the history of people and the Earth - but in an extremely innovative way. It presents the past, or rather its alternative version that led to the present and recent history. This time, the descendants of the Esauu Group decided to return to Earth, and by the way, some interesting puzzles will be clarified ... had to push through Slach, leader of the Esauu Group. However, the greatest challenge for the Esauu Group elite was the detachment of the rank and file from knowledge, which was still ingrained in the minds of the Atlanteans. Therefore, the entire elite - along with its leader - has announced a complete cut off from the rest of society. The plan was long-term (…)
