if the pipes hadn’t been lead the water switch would not have triggered the issue. we had 3 contributing factors: old lead pipes, water source change, and people in charge that made a decision they should not have been able to make with little to no consequences for doing it.
Guess which ones out of those 3 we actually have the power to act on.
the sahara turning fully green could actually be another kind of disaster - parts of the food chain rely on dust from the sahara blowing over the atlantic to provide essential nutrient/minerals for smaller organisms that slightly less small organism feed on.

migrating dust clouds originating in the Sahara Desert are crucial to fostering life in the Atlantic Ocean as far away as the Amazonian basin
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?
Someone linked the mod log. I read it and totally looks like echo chamber to me. You tow the line or you get removed. Did that admin open a can of worms step in doodoo and track it through the house instance making a mess? Yup. But the pot is calling the kettle black when it cries about the censorship aspect. These seem like folks that belong on reddit or their own instance because its the personal kingdom of the mods being encroached on that is their real problem.
The rest of lemmy.world admins are now trying to navigate this mess and no matter what they chose to do a large chunk of thier userbase is going to be unhappy. As far as I can see this was the least damaging way they could move on. There simply is no good ending to this, just a least bad one.
Ed: I’ve seen your voting patterns kids, your dissaproval of this post means nothing to me. I have no respect for people who purity test thier own social group.
Wow that modlog is pretty eye opening, big echo chamber vibes.
Yeah, coz every accusation from them is a projection if some type.
Even when you do manage to get one to think and realize the truth their peer group will come down on them HARD for “falling for leftist propaganda” and they will 180 immediately.
They fear becoming a minority.
They operate under the false beliefs that they already are and that “the libs” bring in foreigners to tilt the vote (which is litteraly not possible) and then “those people get free everything” to feed further into racism. The imaginary bussed in people can’t vote or get benefits but thier social circle says so and thats all they need to believe and repeat it.
The triangle of rhetoric is appeal to authority, appeal to emotion, appeal to logic. They don’t accept any of it thay didn’t come from within thier social group so there is no convinving them and that is why Tronald Dump can say he could shoot somebody on 5th avenue and have them call it fake news despite being recorded.
(Edit x 5 :Why oh why can’t spellcheck just work?)
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.
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!
very much wish more people were on board with wiping out american crapitalism in particular.
(not a typo)
Instead its just a cancer spreading to the rest of the globe as people fail to see its just the logical conclusion to thier impossible to sustain forever growth model - given enough time, all capitalism will become this steaming pile.
