Probably depends on its characteristics.

He had quite an amusing series of papers popping the bubbles of all the 'debunkers'.

He never proved what it was but he sure proved many things that it wasn't, as claimed by ThE eXpErTs.

Midwit scientists abhor an unknown and run to bad ideas like a safety blanket.

FWIW his grad student at the time had the better ideas, involving relative motion of solar systems within the Galactic Plane. His models were the best fit for the available data.

Close as I remember, no, it started in 2005 or so. It started to go downhill rapidly in 2019.

I see no facts or evidence to blame them for Google's decline on Trump or Trumpers.
Many other things, yes. Just not Google's enshittifcation.

The best and the brightest know what a woman is. Those universities that don't know can be refunded with no loss. Ukraine, the most corrupt country in Europe with Nazis? Hard pass. We gave them so much and they still lost. Losers. Antisemitic bastards.

CD players were standard until 2019, when luxury brands started to phase them out.

The last manufacturer to have them standard was Subaru, through 2023.

You must be a lessee?

My truck never had a CD player. I replaced the head unit with a cassette player with a $30 Walmart bluetooth unit a few years ago, and it's legit the fastest bluetooth connection I own. About a second after it gets power it's linked to the phone.

It's good to own multiple paid-for vehicles.

ThriftBooks has great deals on DVD's and CD's.

fuck off, Biden voter

Ukraine war is a scam. A US installed neo-nazi government was murdering ethnic Russians and Roma. Sure Russia is evil so is the Zelenkski government that continues to hold power without election

Of course you design your policies and procedures to protect against rogue employees, particularly in IT and especially with admins who have greater levels of access.

Suggesting otherwise exposes your own ignorance as to how IT security operates in companies ( or how it's supposed to ). Everywhere I've worked, suspended employees were treated as terminated as far as their access to resources were concerned ( up to and including email ). Most places would ask you to tell them if you were traveling out of country, and would suspend your credentials as a precaution if you were ( predominantly in IT and finance, oftentimes HR as well ).

It's a question of minimizing risk. Admins have enough access to shutdown operations for extended periods of time, so of course you would disable their access when the situation warrants it. You wouldn't trust them not to interfere with millions of dollars of productivity/day, and as an admin I wouldn't want them to.

But hey! I'm not sure why I'm wasting so much time trying to educate you on this; the less you know and the more you spread your "knowledge", the more work I get.

so you only hear wallkicking sounds, people like that

That is how companies see suspensions, at least competent ones. And here, with this story, we see WHY.

But by all means, continue to believe otherwise in the face of contrary evidence. My contracting rates are very reasonable ( considering the alternative of course ), so it's in my best interest that more companies think as you do instead of following my advice.

The way they used the "Crowdstrike Outage" to hide crimes was to reboot into a WinPE environment and 'do recovery' while wiping evidence.

I haven't used a Mac in a while but it used to be booting from external media was easy.

I can imagine ways to require keys from secure boot and hardware to decrypt the main drive but I haven't seen those deployed myself.

So, reboot from external, copy data, reboot normally.

Somebody can tell me if Apple already provides a way to avoid this.

We don't have Patriots or THAAD near most US cities.

Our role, per DC, is to pay for the defense of other countries, not our own.

If Trump were worried about China he wouldn't have renewed the visas of 300,000 Chinese students in the past week or so.

China hardly has the money, population, or inclination to go to war. They do have the "excess male problem" but their population crash due to OCPF is so large they need them all to keep the economy running.

But the hypersonics are a good deterrent to war-mad nations where the legislators are all bought off by their military industry.

Suspension means the employee isn't performing their job duties; hence they don't need access to the system. Same thing applies, admittedly to a lesser extent, to when admins go on vacations.

On top of that, suspensions are not done with the assumption that the employee is coming back; it's more of a "get the person out of here NOW while we build our termination case" type of thing. Suspensions are almost always for ethical reasons, which is precisely the type of person who shouldn't have access, and therefore usually lead to terminations.

As we can see here, disabling his credentials was clearly called for, so between yours and my perspectives, which would you say is more correct?

Nah, actually religion gives our lives meaning and gives us a greater understanding of the world and our place in it.

The Church Fathers were men of exceptional wisdom and their writings are still relevant today.

Thomas Aquinas would take any fedora-tipping breadtube atheist debater to the woodshed.

USA innovates.

China duplicates.

Europe regulates.

Since when were the fascist AmerIKKKans not a lost cause? This didn't start with Trump. Jim Crow, Slavery, genocide, it goes way back.

...doesn't negate the question; why wasn't his account disabled? A suspended employee has no reason to access secure systems, this should be the default.

I'm having a hard time imaging a reason for suspension that wouldn't necessitate the need to disable his credentials.

Dunno about you, but I'm perfectly happy waiting for any movie to be released to streaming before watching it. Hell, most are trash anyway, but even the few I'm interested in seeing I can wait on.

Of course, we aren't talking about what *kinda* of streaming is the best.
