Sci-fi and musical doesn't mix well, that episode was an abomination. It's called "jumping the shark". It was every bit as bad as Fonzie water skiing and jumping over a shark. Just not good writing, not a good idea, not good anything. Leave the musicals to the kids in theater class. Star Trek used to be good Sci-Fi, but that musical episode was anything but. If there were no better story lines available, I'd be very surprised. But the franchise was pandering to who?? Not people who are actually interested in Sci-Fi, that's for sure, it alienated them.

It could have been worse, it could have been the Doom Patrol musical episode...

If you have fTPM on an AMD BIOS or IPTT on an Intel BIOS that is Firmware TPM 2.0 and can simply be enabled. Discrete TPM 2.0 adapters are available for some boards. However of course these onerous requirements are going to contribute to landfill as you also need 2nd gen Ryzen or an 8th gen Intel CPU. The leaked Windows 11 beta can be tricked into installing by deleting some dll from the ISO, but I doubt that will hold true for the release.

QuickBooks Cloud Hosting Firm iNSYNQ Hit In Ransomware Attack (krebsonsecurity.com) 30

Posted by BeauHD from the thanks-for-the-heads-up dept.
Cloud hosting provider iNSYNQ says it was hit with a ransomware attack that shut down its network and left customers unable to access their accounting data for the past three days. "Unfortunately for iNSYNQ, the company appears to be turning a deaf ear to the increasingly anxious cries from its users for more information about the incident," reports Krebs On Security." From the report: Gig Harbor, Wash.-based iNSYNQ specializes in providing cloud-based QuickBooks accounting software and services. In a statement posted to its status page, iNSYNQ said it experienced a ransomware attack on July 16, and took its network offline in a bid to contain the spread of the malware. "The attack impacted data belonging to certain iNSYNQ clients, rendering such data inaccessible,"; the company said. "As soon as iNSYNQ discovered the attack, iNSYNQ took steps to contain it. This included turning off some servers in the iNSYNQ environment." iNSYNQ said it has engaged outside cybersecurity assistance and to determine whether any customer data was accessed without authorization, but that so far it has no estimate for when those files might be available again to customers.
