YIKES … I got one worse still … I was NOC at a company where one of my friends from Desktop services made a mistake pushing hard drive encryption and basically corrupted the hard drive of a large number em laptops. It wasn’t everyone thank god because they were rolling it out in stages … but it was THOUSANDS and there was no real way to get it back. Every single one had to get re-imaged.

I work on the field. They pushed an update, their software loads a low altitude driver on the kernel at boot time. The driver is causing servers and workstations to crash. The only fix so far is to reboot in safe mode, restart, uninstall and restart again.

Imagine having to do that by hand, on every windows device in your organization.

don’t be so sensitive. It’s making fun of a country/culture not a race of people.

There’s a subtle difference.

Is it racist to say that Americans are fat? I didn’t realize “American” was a race

The difference is one has no choice being born a specific race but a culture is a set of behaviors you develop as you grow up.

I don’t see a problem with poking fun at the latter. Specially is it’s as light hearted as this.

RegreSSHion is overblown … it was quickly patched and it was not reliably reproducible every time. It depended on “Luck” to have pointer fall on the right memory space in order to allow the code execution.

I think Terrapin was much much worse … and log4j … log4j was a DISASTER … but point taken.

I wasn’t shrilling my choice of OS tho, I think eternal blue is a lot worse than those other CVEs because the NSA KNEW about it and did not disclose it, and because Windows has a much wider user base of clueless users that easily fooled.

Same boat brother … don’t let the hivemind bother you. I deal with an oracle linix at work for 8h a day, when I get home I don’t want to spend time fixing my own shit … even if it’s going to be better in the long run.

I’ll switch to Mint the second ricochet anti cheat has native proton support …

it does my heart good seeing a racing team using their exposure to bring awareness to a good cause
