Are there systems management tools that can automate the process of booting to safe mode and removing the offending file? In the olden days we just had to stand in front of the console or maybe get in via a remote access card one by one.
There are for Linux, because it's a OS that's actually built for enterprise usage lol. Windows is basically a full reinstall to unfuck it, and from what I've been reading in /r/crowdstrike most admins are just completely locked out from remote windows systems due to the boot loop.

Does Crowdstrike make consumer solutions or is this contained to enterprise systems? The only Windows machine in my house is the boy’s gaming PC.
It's usually deployed as part of a managed device, I know it's on my work laptop and virtual desktop as part of the whole minimum required security posture. I get the option to postpone windows and user software updates, but endpoint protection gets pushed through

It’s puzzling how this could have been rolled out so broadly without being tested and caught. Back when I did that sort of thing for a living (thankfully those days are way behind me) we tested pretty extensively before rolling out patches / updates.
Nothing breaks itself quite so eagerly as windows does. Because antivirus/endpoint protection (crowd strike) is security it gets frequent definition updates that are pushed out quickly. Since windows is a brittle cunt of an OS, one small thing sends it spiraling and more often than not requires a full OS refresh to unfuck

That is true. But, that's not the only ground under which they could remand it to a different judge. Two pretty bad rulings, some questionable but not unlawful docket management, her inexperience, the literally thousands of complaints the 11th Circuit Judicial Conference has received about her (most not actionable) and the fact that even other conservative district judges urged her to give it to another judge. That all spells "the interest of justice."
It's far from a slam dunk, but it's more possible that it may initially seem.
And the ruling is heading pretty hard toward bonkers, a serious misapprehension of the Appointments Clause.

I just read The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. If you think the Nazi comparisons are over the top, I suggest you read/listen to it. If I wasn't already concerned, which I was, that took it to another level. The similarities are pretty hard to ignore.
For more fun, check out Robert Evans' "Behind the Insurrection" spin off that he did right after Jan6. The case studies of all the fascist takeovers have SO. MANY. SIMILARITIES. with the republican efforts of today

Really fuckin weird, my wife had a matt carriker (demo ranch dude) video on her recommended scroll on YouTube this morning. I do not understand why media companies pump up dirt bags who sell "make politicians scared again" hats on his bunker banding apparel site
For some reason that product isn't on his storefront anymore...

https://press.un.org/en/2024/sc15766.doc.htm
Statement by UK Permanent Representative to the UN Ambassador Barbara Woodward at the UN Security Council meeting on multilateral cooperation:
“President [Lavrov] while you tell us how you believe the world order can become more just, democratic and sustainable, your military is systematically bombing civilians in Ukraine in an unprovoked war of aggression and in flagrant violation of the UN Charter. What is just about trying to annex another country’s land? What is democratic about trying to subjugate another country’s people? What is sustainable about waging a war that has killed or injured over 500,000 of your own people? The war in Ukraine is a stark reminder of what kind of world order Russia really wants – a world where might is right, and powerful countries can bully and invade other countries with impunity.”
————
Elmo’s Twitter is of course classifying legitimate statements by Western nations as spam while promoting Russian propaganda.
it’s interesting that Lavrov showed up and was prominently asking for certain guarantees and promises, and efforts to “resolve the Ukrainian crisis”. My guess is that Russia is hurting more than we realize (golf cart brigades and T-54s out front shoulda told ya!) or they are scared shitless of what’s coming (the gradual destruction of their air defenses that they can’t replace fast enough, F-16s, lifting of restrictions on Western weapons).
Lavrov has certainly stated clearly his expectations if US foreign policy suddenly takes a hard turn

The only remedies for a private company with a monopoly are competition, nationalization, or a ball-busting regulator that is immune to capture. None of those things is going to happen, either for practical or political reasons. Centerpoint has a PR disaster every few years, customers and politicians get Very, Very Mad and then....life moves on. I think a big part of Centerpoint's usefulness is as a PR shield for the people that actually have the power to change the situation. If you're mad at Centerpoint, I think you're mad at the wrong people.
Isn't it grand living under an oligarchy where the people have no recourse to change anything and the wealthy are cleared to bribe officials because it's """protected speech"""? Lol yeah I'll go write and call my Congressperson and senators (state and fed) about the outage, that VM will go right to a full inbox and they'll reply to my letter after a couple quarters.
If you don't have a trough of donations, you're just another customer to exploit and extract wealth from

Republicans literally attacked the Republic on January 6th with the intent to override the will of the people. They are the aggressors in this rapidly escalating civil unrest.
For fucks sake, it was a REPUBLICAN who had been targeted for progun propaganda by the trump campaign that shot at trump.

You're right, growing EBITDA by 13% YoY while failing to power a city is the hallmark of a healthy private public partnership

Not for a minute do I ascribe that as the only source of inflation.
It's not that price gouging was THE SINGULAR SOURCE of inflation - there absolutely were demand spikes and a lack of capacity to satisfy that spike. But gouging is a completely optional piece, that has been a pretty significant portion of inflation.
However, incredulity is not someone capable of holding that thought in his head, and he calls anyone a communist who disagrees with him.

That rent control proposal wouldn’t even have the dem votes to pass it I bet. Real estate/big bank lobby would crush that quickly.
It's not even controlling rent - isn't the proposal to simply not give tax breaks if they're increasing rent by over a certain threshold like 5% YoY or something?

Agree except for the greed part- if the demand signal is telling them that prices are below what the market will support, what choice do they have? Fundamentally I think the problem here is the problem with the economy for most people- the slosh of stimulus injected liquidity disconnecting buying power from income, following four decades of labor not sharing in productivity gains.

32 minutes ago, Bozo_Casanova said:Oh absolutely. Broadly speaking, that was a major target of stimulus. Before that the target was support for asset prices, especially real estate. And not for nothing, I don’t recall you complaining about record home prices while the average American was taking it in the shorts.
Wait Bozo, so it's your view that the one-off stimulus payments to individuals are the main contributing factor to the long-term sustained inflation that we observed post-COVID? I'm not sure I can see how giving American citizens an extra 3% of the median pay ($1400 stimmie) in a single payment is meaningful leg of support for long-term >50% cost increases.

Some sort of WWII YouTube video.
huh, the Corridor Digital crew are generally decent dudes - I think it's just aggy being tonedeaf and not thinking about how it looks to be gleeful in a waffen SS uniform.
I'd bet that CD video is gonna be a banger though, they've made a ton of great stuff over the decade plus they've been going
