If they actually consulted a lawyer, I’d be fine with the decision.
They did not. They make rash, uninformed decisions, based on feelings not reality, as a knee jerk reaction to other unrelated events.
So it’s not very understandable. They could have consulted a lawyer for less than a month of their hosting costs.
Plenty familiar with qubes, just not familiar with any current consoles.
I think they are saying he can’t afford to retire, but your guess is as good as mine here.
From the GoFundMe (not hard to find):
Hi, My name is Seryna. The man in that video is my father. He has worked at his job for 27 years and yes, he has never missed a day of work. He originally began working at this job as a single father when he gained custody of me and my older sister 27 years ago. Then as our family grew and he remarried, he continued to work there because of the amazing health insurance that was provided through this employer because it was unionized. This got all four of his daughters through high school and college with full healthcare coverage.
My dad continues to work there, because though he does look young, he is coming up on retirement age and leaving would cost him his retirement. In no way are we asking for money or is he expecting any money but if anyone feels like blessing him he would love to visit his grandchildren.
That’s gaming services, so I guess it’s windows only then, you’re right. Like I said, no idea regarding anything about current consoles for me. Haven’t played on a console since the 360.
I’ll be totally candid, I have no idea what version of Xbox is current these days.
But didn’t they have a CVE a few months ago they previously claimed wasn’t an issue?
Edit: Found it. https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2024-28916
… Just watch it again.
(For that “just tape them up” energy)
There is nothing Microsoft I would consider “top tier” when it comes to security.
Defender does a great job for many AV tasks. Crowdstrike does more, and protection isn’t tied to windows updates.
This isn’t a situation where companies just chose not to use the free item, the free item has other costs (management overhead) and is missing some features.
The best answer, of course, is to not use windows for anything that needs to be secure.
Edit: For those who think I’m wrong, cool. I’m not but you are welcome to disagree.
There is a difference between the free defender and paid for defender. If you’re a home user, check out defenderui.com to get (many, not all) features that are normally limited to intune/gpo.
A full and proper deployed defender stack is very good, but in terms of management… The approach to different os’s is practically cobbled together, the webui is horrific, and it lacks some basic functionality. A problem to manage a system like this is a problem to deploy a system like this.
If you’re on the free Defender level, you are not getting anywhere near the same features as falcon, there is absolutely zero question about that.
Kind of easier said than done for many though
Lucy Lawless is an absolute treasure of a human being.
When your fan club has a week dedicated to being charitable, you’re deserving of those fans.
There is no way the studio didn’t push for that.
I’d say the / should be a > but agreed.
I’m not an expert on them or anything, but feel free
No idea. I’ve only got 4 seeders popping up, and they are slow. Like, active for 29 hours now and I’ve got like… Half a gig downloaded.
No, but the appeal is.
Already grabbing it. Not exactly a fast torrent, but once I’ve got it, it will stay up.
Now that I would watch.
Hell, give me a Reiser documentary over a movie about Jobs.
The most credit I’ll give him is on understanding design, at least for the idea of making things look nice for marketing purposes. I hear what you’re saying though.
I do think Woz, who is just impressive, would have done well regardless. But I agree, likely not to the same extent of being a name many people know.
Who, of course, was getting dicked over by Jobs before Apple was even a thing, because Jobs was a thief in so many ways. But I digress.
It’s a shame so many idolize that garbage.
Well that sucks. Vince McMahon is a piece of shit.
