Post: I've seen quite a few posts of people asking for a copy of the file that caused all the carnage, curious as to just what it did to bring the systems down. Given that the app. is an anti-malware suite and the repair directions, it's a kernel-mode (highest-privilege) code update possibly kernel-mode driver that was not tested before deployment or accidentally released or equivalent. Their removal directions: Boot Windows into Safe Mode or the Windows Recovery Environment NOTE: Putting the host on a wired network (as opposed to WiFi) and using Safe Mode with Networking can help remediation. Navigate to the %WINDIR%\System32\drivers\CrowdStrike directory Note: On WinRE/WinPE, navigate to the Windows\System32\drivers\CrowdStrike directory of the OS volume Locate the file matching “C-00000291*.sys” and delete it. Boot the host normally. |

The Donald Trump thread part VI - aka "Keep it clean"
(Message 2138536)
Posted 7 days ago by Mr. Kevvy
Post: Today, I was listening to a Trump supporter describing the wonderful changed man Trump was at his RNC speech last night... ... for about ten minutes while he stuck to his prepared speech and I wondered if he really had had his "epiphany". But then he went off-script into a ramble, lasting an hour, reverting to the old well-worn lies and divisiveness. Here's a breakdown of them from PolitiFact. The only difference was that he seemed lower-energy, tired, bored and boring. As with Joe Biden, time and its aging process is the only thing that seems to have changed him at all. |

Post: In a democracy there are legal ways of preventing a candidate from being elected, the most notable is via the ballot box. Resorting to shooting that candidate is not a legal option (no matter how tempting it may be). Killing a candidate may well eliminate that person from the race, but it could well have very undesirable, namely making them a martyr or allowing someone even less desirable to take their place. I wonder if this person who suggested the same in 2016 has finally learned not to wish such things on others?  I hope so and that this campaign is civilized from the point on, regardless of who "wins". |

Post: I also don't know if the gag order is still in effect, but the attempts to dox the jury are disgusting which speaks to the character of his supporters. It is as far as is known... Judge Merchan did not lift it after the jury ruled, and the trial has not concluded as sentence has not been pronounced. |

The Ukraine Crisis
(Message 2132548)
Posted 13 Feb 2024 by Mr. Kevvy
Post: But we expect the USA to massively help Ukraine... Again, it's back to the Budapest Memorandum where the governments of the US and UK (and of course, Russia) convinced the government of Ukraine to give Soviet-era nuclear weapons stored there back to Russia in exchange for an assurance of non-aggression. The US in no small part caused this situation, thus any amount of aid they give to facilitate getting the Russian army out of Ukraine is not unreasonable. |

Post: Trump called a judge a 'bad person' for not allowing him to travel for a funeral. His calendar says he's got a campaign event that day. And as noted at the end of the article, this is a civil trial so he doesn't even need to attend... attorneys can take of it (and even they aren't required...) Props to the judge for not falling for lie number... I dunno, lost track after thirty thousand. |

The "Other" Electric Vehicles Thread
(Message 2130088)
Posted 20 Dec 2023 by Mr. Kevvy
Post: Nearly every car maker on the planet is rolling out EVs, but none have been able to solve a huge issue with the vehicles. This could change soon. Sadly they are addressing concerns of convenience rather than utility. The issue that keeps me from buying an EV is not the charging time, but the limited number of charge cycles before the battery is too weak to be usable. They cost tens of thousands of dollars to replace and some owners have had insult added to injury by receiving quotes which were more than it would be to just buy a new car. I'm also dubious, given the heating that is taking place during fast-charging when hundreds of kilowatts are being fed into the batteries, whether this is shortening their life as well. I rented a Tesla to not only try the driving but also evaluate what cost would be expected and it was quite "educational"; when fast-charging there is a powerful fan running in the battery compartment keeping them from overheating. The fast chargers also gouge 4-5x or even more the cost of electricity for the convenience of fast charging. I'd never consider an EV without my own garage to charge it in. If one runs a 240V four-prong stove outlet to one's garage it's less than one day from zero to full charge and charging can be timed for off-peak hours when electricity is cheapest (or from one's own solar panels.) Sticking with my bicycle for the time being. :^) |

Post: And those tank shells should've went straight to the Ukraine instead of Israel. Israel is a wealthy nuclear-armed state fighting a bunch of terrorists who need to make rocket launchers out of water pipes... they have next to zero chance of losing. Ukraine is fighting a nuclear-armed state with 3x their population and the only reason that they don't have nuclear weapons to defend themselves (which would have kept Putin from even considering an invasion) is that they gave them up in exchange for US and Russian guarantees. One has so far proven to be worthless. I hope the other one does not. Someone should remind the historically-ignorant bozos in the GOP Congress of this, but I'm sure they'd just ignore it. |

Post: Advertisers Say They Do Not Plan to Return to X After Musk’s Comments I don't understand how his diplomatic skills based on subtle wit and charm could fail to sway their return. :^p ' "X is enabling an information independence that is uncomfortable for some people,” Ms. Yaccarino wrote.' This is, almost certainly accidentally, correct. I am uncomfortable about how independent X is from actual information. |

Post: Just like Donny and Elon, Diet Coke looks to bring out the very worse in people that heavily consume it (we have and have had a few here that also fit this theory perfectly to a tee), is it the artificial sweeteners involved? I drink plenty of Coke Zero plus put nothing but Splenda in my (excessive) coffee, and don't seem to have an issue. However, I try to also not be greedy nor have a tremendously oversized ego to catalyze the effects. :^) |

Posted 16 Nov 2023 by Mr. Kevvy
Post: We should no longer debate whether children or/and babies were massacred by Hamas using brutal method A or more gentle B. That entirely misses the point. The point is the the so-called good guys lied about it when it was unnecessary to, so any later statements from them are now dubious. There is no denial that they were attacked first and have the right to defend themselves. But if they have to make up lies escalating the offense to them, it indicates that they want to unjustifiably escalate their reprisals going beyond mere defense, to wanton destruction and vengeance. This, they seem to have done. (Shades of 9/11...) |

Posted 16 Nov 2023 by Mr. Kevvy
Post: Unfortunately and unnecessarily the Israeli government blew their credibility early on with the old clichéd baby-murderer canard. Already worn out in WWI and the Gulf War, sorry. They sacrificed the moral high ground of innocent (but unfortunately for sensationalism, adult) unarmed civilians being murdered by armed thugs while going about their peaceful activities; that wasn't enough I guess. So, I'll need confirmation from a reputable source of either actual journalism or unbiased and reliable third party info (Amnesty or DWB or the UN or some more uninvolved and honest nation, for example) before I give any weight to these stories, from either side. |

Post: It has to be expected forevermore that anytime there is any armed conflict, the more radical supporters of both sides will immediately rush to post as many fictional stories and miscaptioned videos of war crimes, false flags, crisis actors, etc. on the world's The Israel/Hamas war section of Snopes has quite a few of them. |
