Ouch!  Like I say at the University 90% of our PCs ran an identical build, so at least it could be done centrally, but still at least 90-180 minutes to reboot, rebuild & roll out the fix.

But still manually I think? Since the OS wouldn't start on the affected systems and updates/fixes that were pushed were not received, leaving the manual safe mode --> delete file route as the only option :lol: 

 

Slightly annoying if you've got 50 systems. Quite a different situation when, as I've seen plenty of people post, you've got (tens of) thousands :d 

 

Glad we don't use CrowdStrike, I like the data center, but wasn't looking forward to a trip there on this way too warm Friday.

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

If they are on they can be rebooted centrally.  If not on, reboot with with a USB to start the rebuild.

 

BUT - you still have to schedule.  Every September we had a crisis with all the student lab rebuilds, could only do so many at a time. 150 max I think.

The article (in Hebrew)

 

Could not find anything in English so the link is above 👆🏽, but our athletes from our delegations, getting ready to go to Paris received threats in their personal Emails, that “1972 will happen again in Paris, if they will decide to go to Paris and not forfeit “

Aha, seemingly it is even worse than that…..in any sane rational well-managed system the boot sector is password protected because otherwise your students are going to boot from USB & watch porn. bad things will happen. Guess how many people know their BIOS password?  That’s OK, as a well organised IT team we always store a record of all BIOS passwords in an Excel spreadsheet on the…….ah.  Never mind, if you don’t the solution is as simple as opening the PC (which should be padlocked and chained btw) & fiddling with a jumper switch on the motherboard.

No doubt that's what the Houthi's wanted though, they have almost literally been asking for it the past months...

 

But yeah, not good for anyone (civilian, at least) to have the whole thing escalate more and more and more.

Biden has just announced his withdrawal from the elections in November. Now the question is who will replace him as Democratic candidate.

    • I'm not a fan of Verstappen, but this winner by him was just... WOW
    • Meanwhile, it's about 7 hours to go until we can really start getting some first results other than the 3-3 in Dixville Notch     This is more or less what we're going to start the night with, but probably it's going to come down to Pennsylvania in the end.    
    • Has everyone seen the leaked report on the Algerian boxer?
    • Is the Grand Final officially this Saturday?
    • Huh, there's still countries buying F-16's?     Coincidentally we said goodbye to our last ones a little over a month ago (Belgian ones are still sometimes flying here though).
    • Yeah, Harris might not be great, it is still definitely better than having an outright psychopath as president, again. At the very least it should be someone who is at least capable and willing to, you know, communicate like an adult. Trump very clearly can not do that, although one would assume his childish yelling and overall immensely bizarre way of speaking (from his intonation to his 'we did great, everyone thought it was great, they couldnt believe how great I was!') must appeal to a certain kind of person, I suppose.
    • Alix Klineman has also announced her retirement following the conclusion of the AVP League    https://www.instagram.com/reel/DB9CZwrPfqj/?igsh=MTZiaDk0NndmaTAzcQ==   What a sad year for beach volleyball, with Brouwer, Meeuwsen, Ludwig, Bobner, Pavan, and now these two retiring. 
    • It's good that Argentina is starting to get back on track economically. Every year, all of our alpine skiing teams train in August in Argentina in Ushuaia: "Fine del Mundo", as it advertises itself.
    • The relation of Trump with Russia and, more specific, with Putin is probably the most controversial (being generous) thing of the presidence of Trump, i dont believe the same but is clearly that China help democrats in that election, both are playing their games.   In Argentina the society is clearly divided, the people who are in the left side of the politics, peronist and kirchnerism are very against the goverment, propably the only genuine "rigth-wing" goverment since the recovery of the democracy in 1983. For me and the most part who are in the rigth wing: libertarians, nacionalist and conservatives, is probably the best goverment we see to this days, he made in his first year with a very few legislators in the congress some big and good changes:   1) In the economical: the inflation is only 3% per month since a more of 15% in the last months of the last year, Argentina has now fiscal, financial and comercial surplus-   2) Our country didnt have fighter planes and the goverment buy 24  American F16  -   3) He changes the electoral sistem for a "single ballot" sistem, we have an obsolete electoral sistem that doesnt change from the 19 century and specially, the peronist use for make fraud.   4) In my personal case, he really update the tax sistem for small/medium profesionals and traders.......and that save us to pay the 50% of our earnings to the state.   With a big expectations in the goverment, its better than i thinked before.
    • It could be better, or it could be much worse, for example, if the accusations that he has been accepting large amounts of money from Russia since 2017 are confirmed. Now let Harris win, which will end Trump's political career and I hope that in 4 years the Republicans will put up someone more predictable.     btw, how is this controversial president of Argentina doing?
