+mizapf Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 If there weren't that joint, I'd say the upper left one is a fresh water pipe, while the wider ones down right are waste water.

Of course, I know nothing about PVC piping, so the thought of that amount of graduating sizes between the two seems dubious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they could have come up with another way of doing it instead of allowing 3rd party forced updates to their kernel. That just sounds dumb.

Yes, CrowdStrike Falcon puts its files in system32, but, from what I understand, that had nothing to do with this outage. It was a buggy driver as part of Falcon EDR, which had been buggy for a while, and a badly-formatted "channel" file, which consists of IoC signatures, which caused that driver to fail. Falcon runs essentially as a rootkit, which is required for the protection of the operating system (it has to run in Ring 0,) and becomes a critical part of the operating system. When the driver crashed, it took down the entire OS. This has absolutely nothing to do with writing files to system32. That said, it had to be completely ignorant or vindictive EU politicians who wrote a law which requires this, stipulating it is true in the first place.

Travel the world. Try to live another 30 years at least. Start the biggest retro computer museum ever, and make sure it outlives you. But these days 10million is not much. Would need to properly manage it so it can support your health and well-being until you are at least 100 and things are only get more costly as you age in health and the world marches on with inflation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buy a piece of property sitting off BNSF rails and an Amtrak route somewhere in the Dakotas. Aside from a house on that property, I would have the requisite shop, and a couple of parking spots for a customized passenger car, caboose, or both. I would hook one of them up to an Amtrak every once in a while to travel to see or with family. When I am not using them, I would have them available as AirBnB-style rentals, either stationary or for travel. I would buy a Hi-Rail truck, or a small diesel locomotive, to move stuff around and even run around the property. I would sell off my MSP business, probably sell off my cloud business, and continue to teach cybersecurity while I dream up and build other stuff, some for hobby, some for sale. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
