Per the Microsoft KB for it, this only happens if Windows updates are installed before a user logs in for the first time. So basically re-images and especially VDI environments are at risk of this happening.

They do still have John Savill and Mark Russinovich but they are both focused on Azure. They really need someone like them on the Windows side.

I wouldn’t put it past these lawmakers to be investors in VPN companies, so they can make money off of these laws.

They offer me a job a while back and thankfully I turned them down. Their compensation offer was so crappy I was offended. Like $20k less than the minimum I told them. I told them it wasn’t even close and I was frankly offended, they came up like $5k, so I told them to kick rocks. Looks like I really dodged a bullet.

Seems like they were always behind on things like that. I had a friend that would come over to my house to update his TiVo because I still had a landline and it required a dial-up connection. This was in 2005, well after the decline of dial-up.

I bet half of them where on Jan 6 lists

My kids love the Kiwico boxes. They have different ones designed for different ages. You can buy a single one of get a subscription where they get a new one every month.

Are you anywhere near Connecticut? I have a 50-60 foot tree in my yard that’s been completely incased by a kudzu vine.

Or even going to be aware of it. This is the current top of Fox News

The US would be in a much better place if more people stuck to their guns like her.

Some Christians believe the return of the Jewish people to their land is viewed by some as a sign of the end times, leading to the second coming of Jesus. And yes they want the rapture to happen. There is speculation that is why they so strongly want to defend anything Israel does.

It definitely wasn’t one of DC’s best adaptions. They really tried to squeeze too much in for the run time. They totally could have dropped the whole Atlas and Samson thing and concentrated more on the main story.

It’s a good one. That one and All-Star Superman are the two I always recommend to people.

Superman

A lot of people dismiss Superman as being “too powerful” or “unrelatable.” They’ll say Batman is more relatable because he doesn’t have superpowers. But seriously, how many of us can actually relate to being a billionaire playboy with unlimited resources? In contrast, Superman grew up in small-town, working-class America. He is as much Clark Kent as he is Superman.

People call him a “boy scout,” as if that’s a flaw. But that misses the point. The fact that he has the power to rule the world and chooses not to, is what makes him extraordinary. He sets an ideal for people to strive for.

Yes, in the hands of a bad writer he can become a walking deus ex machina. But in the hands of a good writer, Superman becomes the core of some of the most powerful and iconic stories in comics. His greatness doesn’t come from what he can do, it comes from the choices he makes.

Sorry, the entire collection of government networks. Or at least the DOJ, IRS, HHS, and everywhere else they installed their own systems at. I figured it was obvious what I meant.

There is a good chance the entire government network is comprised thanks to DOGE. I’ve just been wait for someone to get access and leak it.

To answer OP’s question, I’m American but spent a few years in the UK. Things that fascinated me included:

• How green it is (being from Texas this was the first thing that stood out to me)
• The shear amount of history that is just everywhere (I remember eat lunch at a park and reading a sign about how it was the site of a huge battle during the war of the roses)
• Pubs (man I miss going to my local. We really don’t have 3rd places in the US anymore)
