I’m the only one to swoon here, and I’m as sceptical as one can be.
I’m also a cost and my budget is on paper only. Non-IT management is complicit in crappy IT.

I wonder how you’re supposed to get PXE boot to work securely over the internet. And how that helps when affected disk is still encrypted and needs unusual intervention to fix, including admin access to system files.
I’ve been doing this for a while, and I like creative solutions, so I wonder about those issues a lot. Not much comes to my mind besides let’s recall all the laptops and do it one by one.
Sure. At the same time one needs to manage resources.
I was all in on laptop deployment automation. It cut down on a lot of human error issues and having inconsistent configuration popping up all the time.
But it needs constant supervision, even if not constant updates. More systems and solutions lead to neglect if not supplied well. So some “would be good to have” systems just never make the cut, because as overachieving I am, I’m also don’t want to think everything is taken care of when it clearly isn’t.
This works great for stationary pcs and local servers, does nothing for public internet connected laptops in hands of users.
The only fix here is staggered and tested updates, and apparently this update bypassed even deffered update settings that crowdstrike themselves put into their software.
The only winning move here was to not use crowdstrike.
It’s not storm related deaths, it’s texan power grid neglect related deaths. For one of those you can prosrcute people in sane countries.
It’s very much not nonsense. What you’re experiencing is poetry.
Wikipedia says that it is to be done in one session.
Also unless you can hyperfocus and literally exhaust yourself in those 8h, you can’t do any type of white collar job for 8h a day. It’s impossible to be mentally productive for that amount of time day in day out. Forget doing anything creative.
Who knows. Some tech is both better functionally and cheaper. We’ll see. No need to hype anyway.
We can only assume he was doing a lot of work that made google just as evil as it is now compared to the alternative without him, which we’ll get now.
My cat died to this, she didn’t in anyway indicate what was going on, just a quiet rescue cat. They didn’t detect it in the shelter, and likely suffered for some time before we had her.
You mean Strix Point? It’s just a manufacturing codename, like all the Intel Lakes. They are sold under the numerical name still. Also, I always found funny that all intel cpus are lakes in the pcs. The irony.
Neutrality is just a nice term for war-profiteering.
For cold storage it makes sense, but I always consider UX - there’s not enough solutions that make private key encryption, especially remote, as easy as opening a link or mounting to a directory.
I’ve used s3ql before, and it’s really nice for making the encryption transparent. Not something pre-encrypting before dropbox upload can provide.
More, you wanna share those files via dropbox native tools? The recipient better have your private key or you need to reencrypt specifically for them.

Agreed, specialist roles will survive this. Management roles, might not.
Eh you can go with a blacklist approach and try to selectively block tracking instead of whitelisting everything until a site works.
You mean the evolution of the logi, right ?
Yea we’re doing something similiar. Only update base images for bigger OS updates or if something breaks or can break.
The general idea is to have config that works for both new PCs and the ones that are already in use. Saves on maintaining two configuration methods.
