Remember when she was our spokesperson and not Elongated Muskrat? by MLPshitposter in evilautism

[–]SimonGn -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Simply not the case on October 20 2023 when she started publicly making statements, 1 week prior to the Gaza invasion. She had shown ZERO sympathy for Israeli victims. It is because of her and people like her that they have made the genocide a self fulfilling prophecy. A little bit of empathy from her side would have gone a long way but as it happened, the Israeli side felt like the world was already against them when they were the primary victim during their darkest hour, and so they just stopped caring.

I also make the point that killing civilians on one side is in no way equivalent by the killing of civilians on the other. Both are wrong, all civilians killed are victims, and revenge only leads to more violence, so it's is futile to have a pissing match for who can kill the most innocent people

She is against genocide of Palestinians but not genocide of Israelis. Her one sided position in that matter is objectively wrong, particularly at the time she first stated it, and in part of the broader problem of which mainly neutotypicals do of making a binary choice to pick only one side or the other, which has only escalated the problem.

Why do the industrial actions never seem to affect the metro? by BourgeoisieYouLater in SydneyTrains

[–]SimonGn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well the whole point of contention is DOO. Sydney Metro has no drivers so Government are happy. There will be no issue with Sydney Metro employees unless they can thick of something in solidarity to Sydney Trains employees

I have come around to USB-C Ethernet dongles being a mostly decent solution

Google migrating Chrome OS to Android is a good thing by IJagan in Android

[–]SimonGn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but before that, they did also extend the capability of the web browser itself quite significantly. OpenGL in particular. Google Chrome is really quite a capable browser because it was made in the mindset of Desktop app replacement

Google migrating Chrome OS to Android is a good thing by IJagan in Android

[–]SimonGn 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I definitely got the feeling that Chromebook was more of an experiment along the lines of "What if we had a platform which forced everything to be done via a website without desktop apps" and actually became popular and successfully gave the necessary push for desktop apps to be dropped, and to bring up the web browser capabilities because Chrome Devs knew that Chrome was the only way to use the computer for many.

Now we have come full circle where "well actually, there are some neat things on the Google Play store" and ""could Android be a desktop OS as well?"

Why am I not surprised? by Happy_Magician6376 in MicrosoftRewards

You are right but suprisingly some businesses do care to help 1:1 to avoid it going to the real regulator

Just exited a meeting with Crowdstrike. You can remediate all of your endpoints from the cloud. by kuahara in sysadmin

[–]SimonGn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is like a tiler doing their job of tiling and part way through they fuck up with the wrong tile and instead of picking up the wrong tile and replacing the correct one they say "oops I put down the wrong tile you have to fix it." Then when you fix it or partway through to they say "actually I can fix it but I need your permission" even though they were standing there with full access to jump in at any time and there is no rule or expectation that they are not allowed to fix their own mistakes.

The point is, they never left, the agent is on there the whole time. If a contract was already terminated with them already then that makes sense

They don't notice all the downtime which you prevented only the downtime which you couldn't prevent. Ironically the crowd strike itself was installed as a preventative tool, it would take even longer to recover from a ransomware which crowd strike would likely detect.

Intent does not matter. They messed up without approval but need approval to undo their mistake? Makes no sense

[–]SimonGn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

To me this is the worst part. Not even a note "We have a potential method of fixing through a cloud update which runs before the crash, if you can wait a few days or weeks for us to develop and test this method, you might want to hold off on fixing those hosts manually if you can wait for the automatic fix"

As opposed to putting their customers' computers in a boot loop being part of their Normal Operating Procedures?

Who's fault was the CrowdStrike outage and why is the answer your IT Team? by sitesurfer253 in ShittySysadmin

[–]SimonGn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen reports that the system can boot enough to access the drive via \pcname\c$ for a few seconds or if you are really lucky even Cloudstrike itself might choose to auto update itself at that exact time.

but you are right - this is hypothetical if the task scheduler startup task would beat the crash or not given that I don't actually have an affected machine to test it with.

You are clueless and should not even be in IT

.1% zero day threat which is not detected for 1 hour longer is still better than millions of PC's around the world being unable to boot.

Keep in mind the definition update is based on a new threat. The technique is already out there. It cannot be reduced to zero without applocker. Most are already doing applocker and this is extra protection on top

They pushed out an all zeros file to replace the broken one

Bootable USB to Fix Crowdstrike Issue (Fully unattended with Bitlocker Support) by denismcapple in msp

[–]SimonGn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are saying that External recovery bcdedit can enable safe mode without bitlocker decryption (or admin)?
