Nope. I don’t talk about myself like that.
because they knew that the Bush era FCC wouldn’t pursue the matter.
There’s been many FCC’s since then that could have and should have enforced. Both parties have been sucking on this front… spending money in ways that only benefit mega-corps with no ability to punish those same corps.
Still, I can’t help thinking this would be really cool for something like a watch
Watches have been solved. You put a solar panel in the watch face. No need for anything more.
Smart watches use too much energy to do any remote powering with at all, short of qi charging/other near-touching power distribution.
And low-power really means low powered… Like… milliamps. If you fed an RFID chip directly, you’d need to supply about 1 mW depending on the specific chip… 1 milliwatt…
In order to feed that chip with a transmitter you feed up to 2W. So up to 99.95% losses… It’s NOT economical for any other device that isn’t super low power.
Hell Qi charging is just as bad. Qi2, newest and greatest… Which you basically have the devices touching only get up to 80% at absolute best efficiency numbers. Every mm you add, drops that number significantly.
None of this is going to enable “battery free” for basically anything that any consumer would care to be battery free. And honestly I wish we wouldn’t pump the airwaves with all sorts of garbage just because it enabled the most minimal amount of “convenience” for things that never needed to be convenient to begin with.
Tesla is just getting exactly what they paid for!
Please, enlighten me how you’d remotely service a few thousand Bitlocker-locked machines, that won’t boot far enough to get an internet connection,
Intel AMT.
Nah, it’s fair enough. I’m not trying to start an argument about any of this. But ya gotta talk in terms that the insurance people talk in (because that’s what your c-suite understand it in). If you say DR… and didn’t actually DR… That can cause some auditing problems later. I unfortunately (or fortunately… I dunno) hold the C-suite position in a few companies. DR is a nasty word. Just like “security incident” is a VERY nasty phrase.
Yeah I can only imagine trying to walk someone through an offsite system that got bitlocked because you need to get into safe-mode. reimage from scratch might just be a faster process. Assuming that your infrastructure is setup to do it automatically through network.
The stuff I copied into the end of my comment is direct from CrowdStrike,.
Eh. This particular issue is making machines bluescreen.
Virtualized assets, If there’s a will there’s a way. Physical assets with REALLY nice KVMs… you can probably mount up an ISO to boot into to remove the stupid definitions causing this shit. Everything else? Yeah… you probably need to be there physically to fix it.
But I will note that many companies by policy don’t allow USB insertion… virtually or not. Which will make this considerably harder across the board. I agree that I think the majority could be fixed remotely. I don’t think the “other” categories are only 1%… I think there’s many more systems that probably required physical intervention. And more importantly… it doesn’t matter if it’s 100% or 0.0001%… If that one system is the one that makes the company money… % population doesn’t matter.

Not enough… only down 8.9% and it even rebounded overnight…
I think we’re defining disaster differently. This is a disaster.
I’ve not read a single DR document that says “research potential options”. DR stuff tends to go into play AFTER you’ve done the research that states the system is unrecoverable. You shouldn’t be rolling DR plans here in this case at all as it’s recoverable.
I imagine CrowdStrike pulled the update
I also would imagine that they’d test updates before rolling them out. But we’re here… I honestly don’t know though. None of the systems under my control use it.
Literally every program you outlined here are not Windows exclusive. If you let people lecture you on this shit that’s on you.
If you want to run around without edr/xdr software be my guest.
I don’t think anyone is saying that… But picking programs that your company has visibility into is a good idea. We use Wazuh. I get to control when updates are rolled out. It’s not a massive shit show when the vendor rolls out the update globally without sufficient internal testing. I can stagger the rollout as I see fit.
I mean - this is just a giant test of disaster recovery plans.
Anyone who starts DR operations due to this did 0 research into the issue. For those running into the news here…
CrowdStrike Blue Screen solution
CrowdStrike blue screen of death error occurred after an update. The CrowdStrike team recommends that you follow these methods to fix the error and restore your Windows computer to normal usage.
Rename the CrowdStrike folder
Delete the “C-00000291*.sys” file in the CrowdStrike directory
Disable CSAgent service using the Registry Editor
No need to roll full backups… As they’ll likely try to update again anyway and bsod again. Caching servers are a bitch…
I don’t see health care trying to take responsibility for the hundreds of thousands, if not millions of Americans addicted to it today. There should be a medically overseeing program which helps them reduce their dependancy.
Oh fair enough… I saw you mention 90s in the prior comment. Didn’t know that you shifted to today. For sure shit was overperscribed for a long long time.
the supply doesn’t matter
Eh… If it’s pennies, people will be able to afford doing it. You’re not going to be able to bring demand to nothing. So supply skyrocketing just kills those people faster in this case. I’m not sure I subscribe to this train of thought that supply would never matter. At least with consistent busts and such the price goes up which makes it harder for people to get their hands on. But yes, I’d like to see BOTH sides of this issue, both supply AND demand handled. I haven’t seen any presidency handle drugs in a way that I think is “correct”. But I’m no expert.
But what are republicans going to do?
I don’t know why people keep thinking that Republicans are going to do anything? I’m pretty sure all they wanted to do for years was build a fucking wall… that’s not doing a whole lot “against” Mexico. Do you have a source for this? This article… while it says it in the headline also doesn’t source “bomb mexico”. It states
Vance and other Republican lawmakers, such as Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., have proposed labeling drug cartels as terrorist groups to allow U.S. forces to take aggressive action.
Which doesn’t necessarily equate to treating Mexico like Iraq or Afghanistan. The one “cited” source for bombing mexico is to cnbc… which doesn’t state bomb… or anything even close to “Bomb” on it’s page at all.
Continuing the flood of them over the border hurts upcoming generations too… There’s no winning this without hurting someone. You either control the flow and risk upcoming generations who are also getting hooked on this shit. Or you cold turkey and hurt the generation that created the problem to begin with?
I don’t think there’s a real win here.
Pretty sure it’s not xenophobic to look at “Headquarters Moscow, Russia” and wonder if there’s any possibility that Putin could enforce something upon the company.
It’s not like Russia doesn’t do it to us.
The Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) separately accused the US National Security Agency and company Apple of being behind the attack
It’s fair to hurt Russia’s GDP by choosing not to use Kaspersky [in light of people’s opposition to the war with Ukraine]. That doesn’t mean “xenophobic”.
Edit: Added bracketed clarification
You throw so much stuff into this
I mean… I quoted your post and responded to each point I wanted to respond to. You don’t have to respond to literally everything I say.
You have yet to be precise. Because you don’t have a solution!
Because gasp I’m not a politician. It’s not my job to make laws.
See Doesn’t need to be a book’s worth of response. The rest isn’t worth addressing with you because you seem to consistently miss my point.
There’s a good reason why swastika and Nazi salut are illegal.
No there isn’t. You made the symbol illegal in Germany. What did that do? Did it kill of all the Nazis? It’s funny because I keep hearing about this push for neo-nazis out there. Making it illegal does nothing against the hateful groups and does everything to hurt the bystanding groups that are also affected. In this case a good chunk of history of many cultures.
So far I’ve only read “we can’t forbid it”
You can do whatever you want. It’s your country so to speak. Since I don’t live there right now I can’t vote (I did live in Germany for some time). But don’t claim to be so supportive of minority groups when you’re suppressing them under the name of “stopping nazi’s”… even though you’re not even stopping the neo-nazi groups either.
Certainly not letting them spread their propaganda is goal here.
See above points about the neo-nazi groups…
knows why not to use it any longer. It’s that simple.
At the expense of culture/religious beliefs. That’s the problem. You’re forcing society to remove these things at the expense of other minorities.
Make an offer then how to solve it. I’m all ear.
Write better laws that actually targets the act of spreading Nazi propaganda rather than some random symbol that have myriads of meanings outside of “nazi”.
well he’s not wrong. Where I live, I have 8/8… gbps… Which is likely near top of the line for residential… but I know of a few places in the USA that have even more. Hell I’ve seen a property in rural Tennessee that has 10/10gbps.
Yeah no… I pay 165 for my 8/8.
