They are still waiting to receive a properly formatted ticket through official channels before they will start working on it.

  • there are currently two (?) fixes
    • “You memorized your BitLocker key, right?” – physical access to the computer to boot into safe mode, delete a file, and reboot
    • “Thoughts and prayers” – let the computer keep rebooting until it manages (somehow) to grab the fix in the lag or delays between reboots

Everyone in my very large company shares the same bitlocker key for some reason. I guess for today is the reason

There’s a third one I’ve heard:

  • Intel VPro (the thing that privacy people disable because runs at a lower level than the OS and does mysterious stuff), is being used to remove the broken file while the OS is booting/crashed.

It’s really up to the individual organizations to fix. There’s not going to be some global “congrats, we pushed and update and now everything is fine” patch, because the crash is preventing a patch from being loaded. It requires manual intervention on every single affected machine. If it’s a large organization with a lean IT team, that could mean days or weeks until every single machine is actually fixed; They’ll be prioritizing the mission-critical systems, so they’ll triage. Start with the wide reaching systems, then the most important employees. The intern will just have to wait.

It’s ok, it was just Windows machines. Nobody in their right mind would run anything critical on a Windows machine.

Omg… I hate Microsoft and windows as much as the next guy but for the last time this isn’t a windows problem ffs. Read any of the thousands of articles published on the matter and you’ll find that this theoretically could just as easily happen to Linux machines if they were managed by Crowdstrike - which is the problem.

This never ending Linux elitism on Lemmy is making me tired, boss

I don’t know if I could have made it more obvious that what I said was a joke. But also, it was a Windows problem in that it only affected Windows machines, and that was the premise of my joke (which is why I phrased it that way).

There have been so many folks ranting about Linux being the solution that it’s apparently difficult for me to detect sarcasm, but yes, fair enough

Best part is something similar happened with certain Linux distros a few months back.

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others’ questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That’s it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it’s in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
