It used to be trivial to steal the identity of a dead child, obtain a SS#, and build a fake identity. There were manuals you could buy to walk you through it. Changes to the system like issuing SS#s at birth and computerizing databases has made this technique obsolete.
Can’t read the rest of the article because paywall but apparently users have chimed in saying rebooting 15 times worked for them. Whether they were serious or not remains a question. I can also imagine it was a time-related thing and after 15 reboots enough time has passed for it to be fixed so the user thought 15 times was the magic number.
“We have received feedback from customers that several reboots (as many as 15 have been reported) may be required, but overall feedback is that reboots are an effective troubleshooting step at this stage."
So fuck the headline, the real message is: yes, rebooting is an effective troubleshooting step at the moment.
I don’t know the exact timing of that message in the timeline of the incident, so it could be early “please restart and see if issue persists” or late “something was updated, rebooting will probably help”, I don’t know.
ArsTechnica has a bit more detail. I’ll quote the important bit below.
… try to reboot affected machines over and over, which gives affected machines multiple chances to try to grab CrowdStrike’s non-broken update before the bad driver can cause the BSOD.
My understanding is, it’s just a matter of if the Crowdstrike updater service manages to connect to the internet long enough to download the patch before the core service takes a shit.
I am absolutely pro choice.
But I agree that drugs during pregnancy (weed, booze, anything that might harm the future child) should be prevented.
Which, I feel, puts me in an odd spot by my apparent hypocritical application of “My body, my choice”.
So, I think it is to do with the intention.
If someone intends to carry a baby to full term, then they should be responsible for ensuring that future child’s well being.
If that person makes the choice not to carry the baby to full term, then yeh: their body, their choice. I have no issue with them taking drugs or whatever.
This has me thinking. Do we prosecute for child neglect for cigarettes? As far as I’m aware we don’t. I don’t think that people should smoke cigarettes while pregnant but it hurts the baby just as much and it would make the ruling consistent
I don’t think anyone has actually been charged with neglect over cigarettes, but this (southerncaliforniadefenseblog.com/…/should_smokin…) implies that it is possible to do so. But yeah, very weird overall double standard given how dangerous cigarettes are.
My team and I last night were lucky enough that our computers came back up after a single reboot following the BSOD. VPN and certain applications were wonky the rest of the night.
We had nearly 300 servers impacted, almost 100 still down. All planned maintenance for the weekend has been cancelled. Incidents like these make me very glad I climbed the IT ladder enough to not be in a support role anymore.
the both sides get me as they always want to compare the most left groups as the left with actual republican politicians. Our presidents and reps call for folks to be killed well oh yeah so does antifa, and that drummer from that fake band made a mean remark, so both sides ya all and maybe both sides need to bring down the rhetoric /s I dunno anymore.
