Microsoft would never push an update on a Friday. They usually push their major patches on Tuesdays, unless there’s something that’s extremely important and can’t wait.

I don’t know many individual users that use IPMI. I only really see it used by hosting (and other) companies in data centers.

Also, the effectively gives attackers a secondary attack surface

IPMI is usually locked down and only accessible on a management VLAN, and also often IP locked, plus the system itself would have a password.

. they have to go into every data center and manually fix all the computer servers

Do they not have IPMI/BMC for the servers? Usually you can access KVM over IP and remotely power-off/power-on/reboot servers without having to physically be there. KVM over IP shows the video output of the system so you can use it to enter the UEFI, boot in safe/recovery mode, etc.

I’ve got IPMI on my home server and I’m just some random guy on the internet, so I’d be surprised if a data center didn’t.

The issue was caused by a third-party vendor, though. A similar issue could have happened on other OSes too. There’s relatively intrusive endpoint security systems for MacOS and Linux too.

Wikipedia says:

Since 1990, the State Department has allowed multiple nationalities.[130] Official policy is one of recognition that such a status exists, but the U.S. government does not endorse a policy of having multiple nationalities, though it is permitted.[151]

Depends on the telco. I’m using a small local ISP that supports net neutrality and provides 10Gbps for $40/month. Perfect. Very grateful that I can use them instead of AT&T or Xfinity/Comcast.

This is what we have in Australia. It’s mandatory to get at least 20 days (4 work weeks) of PTO per year.

Wouldn’t he have had to renounce his Finnish citizenship to be naturalised?

You can be a citizen of multiple countries at the same time, as long as all of them allow dual/multiple citizenship.
