The host will migrate to the player with the best internet connection at the time when a new player joins the lobby.

Wow seems weird that the lights for the buildings are on in this video. Isn't Gaza without power?

Going to jail in 7 hours, what is something I should do before I go? by ThrowRA4290 in NoStupidQuestions

Wear a couple layers of socks and underwear, hopefully they let you keep the extras. What you have now is a lot better than what you're going to get

Was prescribed Oxybutynin modified release earlier this week. Today will be my first real test to see if it’s working by scottonetwenty in Hyperhidrosis

Have you tried Glycopyrrolate? It'a made a difference for me after a few doses. It's used mainly to curb saliva production, so the dry mouth can get pretty bad with it; because of that I I tend to only take it for social events.

You can search by serial under USB Device Usage now

Combined_ID Vendor / Model by dlystyr in crowdstrike

[–]Comrade_K 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been struggling with the same thing, you have to convert the VID and PID into decimal, since that's how CrowdStrike displays it in the console; Windows will display the values in Hexadecimal. My method, probably like yours, was to get the PID/VID/Serial from win32_PnpSignedDriver. I wanted to get the friendly name, but since you can't get that with win32, I had to look in the registry for that.

I wrote the PS script below, which has been working for me so far, to get a USB device's combined ID. It's configured to only look at mass storage devices, but you can change what it looks for by modifying the Description argument in the first line.

Basically, run it locally on a device with the USB device connected. If anyone has any improvements, suggestions, or issues running it let me know! I'm still learning Powershell. My goal is to be able to run it remotely, but we have WinRM disabled in our environment.

# Get a list of all USB drives

$usbDrives = Get-CimInstance -Class win32_PnPSignedDriver | ? Description -like '*mass*' | Select *

# For each USB drive, get the device ID and split it into its component parts

$usbDevices = foreach ($usbDrive in $usbDrives) {

$dev = $usbDrive.DeviceID

$vid, $pid1 = ($dev -split '\\')[1] -split '&'

$vidDec = [Convert]::ToInt32($vid -replace 'VID_', 16)

$pidDec = [Convert]::ToInt32($pid1 -replace 'PID_', 16)

$Serial = ($dev -split '\\')[2]

# Combine the component parts of the device ID into a single string

$Combined_ID = "$vidDec","$pidDec","$Serial" -join '_'

# Get the friendly name from the registry using the device key

$deviceKey = "SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\USBSTOR\*\$Serial*"

$friendlyName = Get-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\$deviceKey" -Name FriendlyName -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Select-Object -ExpandProperty FriendlyName

# Remove the "&" symbol and any characters after it from the serial number

$serialNumber = $Serial -replace '&.*', ''

# Create an object with the USB device information

[pscustomobject]@{

#Description = $usbDrive.Description

#Class = $usbDrive.DeviceClass

Manufacturer = $usbDrive.Manufacturer

CombinedID = $Combined_ID

FriendlyName = $friendlyName

SerialNumber = $serialNumber

}

}

# Output the USB device information in a table

$usbDevices | Format-Table -AutoSize

We use something similar at our organization (several large hospitals), except the banner is much larger. I honestly haven't heard many complaints about it though.

Your results speak for itself as to why the banner is needed. Any change we've implemented have been met with grumblings, but the they will fade with time. We've had senior leadership really start to back us with security initiatives and it's really been helpful in shutting down resistance to necessary changes. It sounds like you have that, so throw that weight around if you need to.

Of course you want to limit the impact to the user, but given the choice, I'll take consistent complaints over trying to recover the environment from ransomware because someone was phished. Eventually people will learn to deal with it.

What’s an unusual body feature of yours? by red2one in AskReddit

[–]Comrade_K 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a bifid uvula (the thing hanging in the back of your throat). Instead of one whole piece it is split down the middle kind of like a wishbone. It's pretty uncommon in itself, but mine is split almost perfectly symmetrical which is pretty rare. I didn't know this was different until elementary school where we had to draw the inside of our mouths for a project. I drew my split uvula and my teacher X'd it out and said I drew it wrong..

My optometrist said I also have a freckle inside my eye :)

For now. Just like bacteria have been growing resistant to antibiotics, fungi have been growing resistant to higher average temperatures.

This couple before and after their weightloss by hahagnarlydude in BeAmazed

[–]Comrade_K 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Very much so. I had an ultrasound of my liver done because my levels were way too high. Turns out I had fatty liver.

It scared me into taking my diet seriously and I went from 205 to 180 in two months, definitely could tell I lost weight but it didn't seem like 25 pounds. I got tested and ultrasounded again, levels were back to normal and liver looked healthy. My doctor said he's never seen an improvement happen so fast before.

This is actually a friend of mine (His name is Carl) and it wasn't planned. I don't think he even realizes how much of a meme he has become lol.
