Microsoft didn't blame the European Commission for the outage (thats a ridiculous headline), they said they can't close off the Kernel due to agreements made with the European Commission. The original soruce macrumors is quoting i

'Analysis' of the null pointer is completely missing the point. The simple fact of the matter is they didnt do anywhere near enough testing before pushing the files out. Auto update comes with big responsibility, this was crimina

I can't wait to see the reasoning employed by CrowdStrike management to try and justify their continued existence after a lack of testing caused them to trigger the very same global IT meltdown that they are supposed to prevent

Microsoft are going to be pissed that this is widely being discussed as a Microsoft outage. Do AV vendors like Crowdstrike need a license or something from Microsoft to push these kernal driver based things? Or is it just like anyone can ma

Note this is the lowest spec Surface Pro 4, it had a low power Intel Core m3-6Y30 so that it could run without any active cooling, making it a 'true' tablet. Most of the 'proper' Surface Pro 4s had an i5 or i7 processor

Humans 'see' by tightly packed rods and cones in the retina sending signals up the optic nerve. Not as tidy as a mathematical array but nonetheless not all that different. Ultimately what comes to the brain from the retina can be

Players pay for a trainer, no?

A career of a trainer is still likely more attractive than a menial unqualified job So its like a slow-burning pyramid scheme powered by youthful optimism?

Holy crap, you're right, about 1h45m in the video (about T+1hr04m mission time): camera is nearly out but you can see engines relight and flap moving at Starship goes below 1km altitude. It got through re-entry and did a soft-ish landi

Classic RFC9562 GUIDs were often represented as hex like {550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000} and so were case insensitive
