Lemmy seems to be that "tech guy" that knows just enough to frick up your home network with eeros, but can't delete a file via CMD and safe mode

My work PC was blue screening Friday morning. Didn't have the Bitlocker key, so I couldn't fix it myself. Had to go into office to get it fixed. On my team of 7 people, 2 of us had affected PCs. Guess some received the update channel and others didn't.

I'm not responsible for servers, so it wasn't my issue..

i had to sit in calls all day that normally I wouldn't have, was the worst part of my day..Fortune 250 company, 18k employees..was not jealous of the lazy techs on Friday who had to walk people through bitlocker keys over the phone

Oh, sorry. I thought you said you were on the cyber team where 800 servers went down due to cyber security software.

Luckily we're not a Crowdstrike customer. However a bunch of our partners were out.

I can’t boot into safe mode. The Indian help desk won’t give me the recovery key, so I don’t have access to the boot drive from the command prompt. I work at the kind of dump where I’m not even allowed to change my wallpaper.

As a network engineer who works in a zero crowd strike environment I sat back and said some prayers for you guys last week.

Made it even more tedious to have to navigate Bitlocker while trying to get into the machines.


This pissed me off dramatically more than the Crowdstrike issue itself. It took me 2 minutes to delete the file through the DOS terminal, it took me two fricking hours to get the fricking bitlocker recovery key for my work pc.

I work on the control system side for IT. We have a stack of firewalls connecting us to our business network.

We don't use Crowd Srike on the control systems but that didn't prevent our managers from asking for status updates.

EU bureaucracy may have been to blame...

quote:

In a statement to The Wall Street Journal, Microsoft blamed the European Commission for an inability to offer the same protections that Macs have. Microsoft said that it is unable to wall off its operating system because of an "understanding" with the European Commission. Back in 2009, Microsoft agreed to interoperability rules that provide third-party security apps with the same level of access to Windows that Microsoft gets. Microsoft agreed to provide kernel access in order to resolve multiple longstanding competition law issues in Europe.

Apple has not been forced to make changes to how Macs work, but the European Commission has been targeting the closed nature of iOS, and Apple has warned that the updates that have already been implemented could lead to security risks in the future. The European Union's Digital Markets Act has pushed Apple to allow developers to offer apps through third-party marketplaces and websites. Apple says explicitly that the DMA compromises its ability to "detect, prevent, and take action against malicious apps."
