It’s tough if no impossible to find now, so I don’t blame anyone for not knowing or believing this to be the case whole google results are dominated by more recent events involving more recent emulation cases. But they have litteraly in the past made the false claim that emulation itself was an illegal practice. Then later they pretend they never said that and people like yourself never see it. I’ve seen emails from the big N’s legal team making the claim, but it was over 20 years ago. I just have a long memory…

or the history of nintendo falsely claiming that emulation itself was an illegal practice when trying to bully and scare people into submission…

a lot of amazon sellers simply mark working pulls as “refubrished” when all they did was reformat or if you are lucky did a zero fill and check that the sectors weren’t bad.

I don’t trust reburbs that aren’t manufacturer refurbished on any site because its a huge difference in the testing and checking being done.

I do sometimes buy used drives, but I know what I am getting there vs “refurbished” - and there is usually a pricing difference which is why so many are dishonestly calling used drives refurbs.

you want to look at the sellers warranty policies. if if they actually have one besides amazons, the seller is confident in their own items longevity

It’s a cork screw eh?

Mariadb did it with the candlestick in the library.

1. Swapping entire devices takes more time and labor than this. So does factory resetting, and all the other solutions I saw other IT people roll out. They panicked.

2. Its a crashing os not dead machine so we do have the ability to remote access before the OS even loads, though we don’t always deploy that on smaller organizations. In those cases we walk someone through booting into recovery or send a tech to the office. We had this handled in the 1st hrs, a few hundred endpoints affected the rest were not on crowdstrike. We almost switched to it 6 mo ago…dodged a bullet.

Theres not fixing what ain’t broke and there is refusing to budget to move on when needed. There are a lot of ifs and assumptions in your reply trying to put me in my place here. Old software that won’t run on anything modern becomes a recipe for disaster when said hardware breaks down and can’t be replaced with anything that functions.

Fuck it lets see if all 3 of my replies can get to negative 3 digits: none of this matters because the original problem was pretty damm easy to fix but here I am taking shit on social media for saying so.

P.s. in medical client sitiations there are compliance laws involved, and I keep seeing hospitals and practices not meet them until they start eating fines because they want to use every machine till it literly falls apart.

Remember when they tried to pretend he was not really involved? And then the time the removed his name? Insert pepperage farm meme graphic.

I felt that way till the influx of redditors came to get their little dopamine kicks via the rate buttons and bickering on bs topics.

“Reddit CEO teases new ways to damage and eventually kill Reddit”

I know my industry thanks. I’ve over a decade of experiance in sizable complex organizations. You know who else likes to cling rmto outdated hardware and software? Hopefully this scares you because it should: medical organizations.

What they people did (and what other claimed was done) during this fiasco was objectively worse than the actual fix but everyone in this thread just isn’t happy that I didn’t join them in shitting on microsoft. This is where lemmy shows that its users are becoming more like reddit users every day. Or don’t know what /s means.

Hopefully none of those systems were exposed to anything internet facing for obvious reasons, but given the shear incompetance observed I wouldn’t be surprised.

Omg its so hard to reboot into safemode delete one bad file and then reboot again. SO HARD guys. So lets run windows 3.1 and windows 95 and deploy old crusty windows 2008 servers again till this vlows over. /s

I’m in IT for a living. Even my dimmest bulbs at my company were able to solve this and keep the same pc running, minus crowdstrike’s bad update. I struggle to imagine what it must be like for other companies IT staff to make the choices they did during this.

The only real use of trademark I could find was actually on the twitter account clownstrike took a picture of, unless they seriously want to try and tell is they think the name could be confused for theirs with a straight face.

Copyright assholes got a seat at the table when it was being drafted everyone else was given the finger. Its designed to be easily abused. Accidently on purpose, if you get me.

Hell old MSs penalty was giving free licenses in markets it never had a grip on, so its “lock 'em in!” model meant the “penalty” benefited them!

Its worse in that to see the content I want I need MULTIPLE subscriptions that add up to more than cables cost …or I can sail the high seas once more. I’ve cancellled everything except amazon because I save enough on shipping to justify it (mostly heavy items)

Sounds about right for any news outlet. “Slams” is so overused, and usually nowhere near an accurate euphamism.
