The conspiracy theories in this person's thread really detract from his message.

Masking is putting on a face to _hide_ symptoms from others to appear more 'normal'. It's f-ing exhausting. The symptoms never go away.

Should keep you occupied for a few hours. Mostly approachable.

Squarespace’s CMO asks Gen-Z to violate the Federal Labor Standards Act
> Under the FLSA, employees may not volunteer services to for-profit private sector employers.
Can you cite something? This is HN, not reddit.
> Also keep in mind 8.5 million is likely the count of machines fully impacted and are not counting the machines impacted but were able to be automatically recovered.
Do you have evidence of this? Please bring sources with you.
[SQL] Slammer spread incredibly quickly, even though the vulnerability was patched in the prior year.
> As it began spreading throughout the Internet, it doubled in size every 8.5 seconds. It infected more than 90 percent of vulnerable hosts within 10 minutes.
Worms are not technically viruses, but they can have similar impacts/perform similar tasks on an infected host.
That's the poor assumption being made.
Does the same hold true of today? Or have we simply learned to live with systemd? Slackware is one of the last "major" (or maybe just "oldest") distros to leverage SysVinit, as far as I'm aware.
You don't.
And due to CFR 21 Part 11, what you ask would be a non-starter.

"New Technology", if you want to search the transcript. Per Dave, marketing did not want to use "NT" for "New Technology" because they thought no one would buy new technology.
Hospitals also have limited resources in terms of IT staff. It's not a Azure army of operations staff that can rush out to every endpoint and click buttons.
When I was in helpdesk eons ago, I was "responsible" for roughly 300 - 400 endpoints, plus a handful of servers. As were all of the other helldesk techs. If something like this happened, there's simply not enough hands to go around as fast as everyone would like.
Failed hardware is different, but hospitals likely have very few computers just 'lying around'. Especially the highly regulated machines, such as those which are attached to MRIs and the like.
CFR 21 Part 11 was the bane of my existence. Software that can be installed and configured in a matter of minutes? That's a six month project, at least. Sure, backups are great, but then you've got a significant process to get it back up and running.
These aren't early-2000 logging operations.
I see you'll never be convinced, but this is how modern operations work. Being a hospital (or other industry with heavy government regulations) make operations that much worse.
It's all on a network for a reason. If it's on a network, it has to comply with all regulations that govern the service.
The vendor who makes the software has always written for Windows (or in reality, wrote for either DOS or OS/2 then transitioned to NT4). History, momentum, familiarity, cost, and ease of support all are factors (among others, I'm sure).
Security is a process, not a product.
And yes, distros require frequent updates, though more to your point, you can limit the scope of installed software. I'm sure airport displays don't need MPEG2, VP1 and so on codecs, for instance.
It's also important to remember that there is a lot of 'garageware' out there with these specialized systems. Want SAML/OIDC support? We only support LDAP over cleartext, or Active Directory at best. Want the latest and greatest version of Apache Tomcat? Sorry, the vendor doesn't know how to troubleshoot either, so they only "support" a three year old vulnerable version.
Ran into that more than a few times.
Given the hypothesis of what caused the BSOD with Crowdstrike (NUL pointer), using a safe language would have been appropriate -- it's fairly easy in this case to lay the blame with CS.
Microsoft supplies the shotgun. It's the vendors responsibility to point it away from themselves.
> 8. NOTE ON JAVA SUPPORT. THE SOFTWARE PRODUCT CONTAINS SUPPORT FOR PROGRAMS WRITTEN IN JAVA. JAVA TECHNOLOGY IS NOT FAULT TOLERANT AND IS NOT DESIGNED, MANUFACTURED, OR INTENDED FOR USE OR RESALE AS ON-LINE CONTROL EQUIPMENT IN HAZARDOUS ENVIRONMENTS REQUIRING FAIL-SAFE PERFORMANCE, SUCH AS IN THE OPERATION OF NUCLEAR FACILITIES, AIRCRAFT NAVIGATION OR COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS, AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL, DIRECT LIFE SUPPORT MACHINES, OR WEAPONS SYSTEMS, IN WHICH THE FAILURE OF JAVA TECHNOLOGY COULD LEAD DIRECTLY TO DEATH, PERSONAL INJURY, OR SEVERE PHYSICAL OR ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE.
Again, from what I've seen, infusions are not just "throw it in an IV bag and wait".

Is this a propaganda piece to tell the rubes why Social Security won't be necessary?
