They're losing customers due to pricing and data caps.
Problem: They're losing customers
Contributing factor to problem: Pricing & Data Caps

Solution: Fix prices and remove data caps.

EXCEPT THAT THEY DOING IT FOR NEW CUSTOMERS ONLY
Do you want to get on the phone with one of the worst customer service companies on the planet to 'negotiate' the new deal .... or do you want to just say cancel after listening to stupid songs and repeating yourself 12 times talking to a moron? I bet 75% of the people that would be interested in the new deal will end up frustrated and just cancel.

Because they don't get it. You apply the fix action to the problem. You don't sell the fix to future problems.

So...yeah spoofed request IP...

Your garbage data was probably 5% of the attack.

Report Writers, Slashdot editors, and all you other nice people,

With stories like these, that specifically include broad ranging attacks with IOT and compromised devices in a bot net, please clearly mark the dates and times. I see a single cloudflare visual that shows 7.5Tb/s starting at 21:55:36 and going until 21:56:20. One could assume it is GMT, but it isn't listed for sure. One could also guess at the day, but it isn't clearly listed with the data.

If I knew which day to look at, and for sure what time frame, I could take a peek and make sure that I don't have some otherwise unidentified problem on my end. I'm moderately positive I am not involved, but if I am serving to give bad actors an extra IP to work from, I'd like to know.

These are shitty marketing fluff pieces. Oh look at how cool we are we detected it, we kept our client up, etc.
Alternatively these end up being philosophical shit pieces about ooooh look what could happen, look how far we've come.

No. I want a simple day and time. I want to know if the equipment in my enclave is involved. Start your goddamn reporting with that. Old newspaper style - yankees win 10-3 on friday night.
Not "oh you'll never believe what happened ...."

I would love to hook my high functioning ADHD wife up to one of these things and have them be completely baffled that anything resembling reason occurs with zero orchestral organization amongst the theta waves.

Every single sports fan would purchase normal legal streaming if it wasn't such an unholy pain in the ass or wildly overpriced.

I'm a very simple example. I want to watch the NFL Vikings game in america. I'm not in the 'home zone' because I'm not a damned pleb that can't leave their home town. It isn't on free broadcast tv. Spending over $600 for approximately 9 games that I'll end up watching? Naw...I can find better things to do with my money.

You give me a simple option for $20 to watch the single game I want to watch? Sure. I'll probably do that every single time.

I'm curious if the politicians that want to pass this have ever watched a french film themselves. Pretty positive every time I (english speaker) watch a foreign film with subtitles, I spend the next several months getting things suggested to me like "Korean Dark Romance Violent Revenge Films".
I've discovered some quite excellent items over the years ... never based on "french" or "german" or "russian" .... there is more to categorize than that...and I'm betting the politicians have watched nothing but american english films so that is all the algorithms are feeding them.

FYSA -
T-34 - fantastic WWII Russian perspective tank film; watched at least 3 times
Fighter - giggly Indian version of top gun
Parasite - korean?? definitely watchable
Catalan?? - Spain made me giggle but miss enough I had to watch it twice

It really was starting to look a little better, but here comes the app-for-that idea-fairy that needs a Kasdf application developed because it either:
1) Wasn't made by us
2) Doesn't have a big enough K

It really is a good idea. Just wtf with the Ks.
And the article reads about GNOME and using boxes to spin up VMs....
No. Not everybody does that. There are already existing programs for that, and they work just fine. Stop with the ecosystem creating bullshit - this should always be a cross platform function not tied to your desktop environment decisions.

Falcon is no mere 2000s style antivirus. I wish it were that easy. Each of these massive clusterfuck IDPS/SIEM/EDR systems that use the word cloud in their marketing probably do reach criminal negligence level ... but nobody can prove that in court. The cure really does seem worse than the illness sometimes. The closer you look, the worse it becomes.

The only people winning here are the lawyers.
They get fat fee, from Delta.

Delta - will end up publicly admitting that their ultra important daily driver of their entire business can be ruined by some random outside trusted agent over a direct internet connection. This is most certainly not in their risk management plan this way, and clearly wasn't a part of their recovery plan either.
The gross negligent party is whoever let their core traffic servers pull this shit down without testing first, or at least non-critical systems first.

Sure crowdstrike messed up, but that is exactly what insurance is for. The only people hurt will be the normies that pay for cyber and other insurance tools.

This is the best scenario I can think of for doing stupid things with your TV. Be glad it wasn't a malicious intent 3rd party taking over your TV's software and simply making it hard to watch.

Honestly...buy the extra disposible stick/streambar whatever. If it gets compromised or no longer works you throw it away. If you hook your damn TV to the internet...it really is just a matter of time and then your entire TV becomes useless (best case) or one of many in a giant botnet (most likely case).

Do we really need amazing hardware for linux, or is the question more properly: When will we stop loading linux on our crappy old used shit?

You know you're out there, you dipped a toe into linux with an old laptop or desktop you didn't really need anymore.

Dell has made passable business hardware for years, but trashed alienware. HP made decent workstations for a while that were a bit overpriced but at least nice.

Go buy yourself a system76 if you want decent hardware.

He only got caught because of the rolls.

People gonna notice that man.

I'm not sure what makes me more upset:
  - Calling it "Remote Desktop App"
  - Calling it "Windows 365"
  - Saying it supports multimonitor and dynamic resolution changes...This is required behavior including keyboard and mouse input.
  - Remote Desktop App "will be blocked ... the Microsoft Store" ...wtf do I need to go to the online store for a basic function?
  - Lack of words like 'system', 'endpoint', real actual product names like Windows Server 20XX, and 'boxen'
  - The idea of "Azure Virtual Desktop" that delivers a full desktop experience... no...no it doesn't...Its just a VM. Which is vastly superior to most physical installs...don't try to fluff it up.
  - The idea of "Microsoft Dev Box" ... ffs just make a development boxen ... and you don't need a special RDP thng to do this.

Mods: Parent is not flamebait.

Does it look and is it actually corrupt? Probably.

Does starlink actually offer service to people in the middle of nowhere ... already ... unlike the jackasses that have been taking billions and not laying cable?

Yeah. Yeah they do offer service. This is 100% legitimate monetary award for the intended service.

I know this is going to get modded as flamebait ... but there are still pilots out there that remember how to fly without satellite data. This isn't lost knowledge that needs to be dug up by an archeologist.

There are perfectly serviceable land based navigation aids, and looking out windows....

We don't need new tech to do this.
