Many desktops (targeted for corporations) will boot over the network, but I am not sure how many do so by default. Server class hardware deployed by in datacenters often has network boot enabled, and is used to install (and reinstall, and recover) the fleet.

I would hope that AMI will offer a postmortem report that will explain how they broke the embargo. And they should have their membership in the super double secret handshake club reviewed and perhaps revoked if they can't show adequate changes in their processes to avoid the issue next time (and there will always be a next time).

The mod_php path was believed (in the security community) as the most likely viable exploit approach. php-fpm, which has been the recommendation for years, is believed to be much harder to exploit (no publicly documented exploit yet. yet. yet). That said, there are going to be a lot of sites who still use mod_php (if it work's, don't frack with it (and that presumes you have staff who could actually understand the details and make choices)).

Paramount, after Ellison's purchase, was in the middle of a RTO process. This latest RTO directive from the combined Skydance company should not have come as a real surprise to staff.

Only a total fool (and most of the Microsoft employees are not total fools) would not consider it, and based on their unique circumstances, make a decision.

This is a "the cat is on the roof" email. The layoff email(s) will come later if the number of the employees that accept the offer is lower than what Microsoft decides is necessary.

Ryan Reynolds, actually. But they were both born in Canada (so they do have that in common).

Crown Castle is willing to lease space on their towers to anyone (with the ability to pay). It is what they do as a communications infrastructure focused REIT. I am not sure which analyst asked that question, but it was really a wasted question.

For the same people who might consider NVIDIA GeForce NOW?

For $129/mo not only will you get the ultimate game pass, but you will get access to a console. That model seems to be working for some phone carriers.

Wordpress uses PHP. And something close to 40% of the internet sites use Wordpress (so, PHP).

It's not easy being green

Whose values? Asking for a friend.

Discovery+ was always the outlier in the streaming market. It was never an especially popular service in terms of subscribers, but its content costs were low, and its subscribers fairly loyal (lower churn than some other services). In the various merger discussions, it was never even mentioned as whether or how it would be integrated into the eventual streaming combination.

AC posts start at score 0. The score may increase, or decrease, based on those voting with mod points, but AFAIT, if the net result is zero, the score still shows as zero, so it is not at all clear if that post was downvoted, or just any potential upvotes and downvotes cancelled themselves out.

It is (as it has always been) some people who will try to manipulate the scores to increase engagements. If there was any actual accountability in this forum, all the voters would be publicly visible, so that those that decided that [some user] was biased could choose that their votes be excluded from their view of a score, but that might impact page views (and profit), and we (well, the site admins) would not want that.
