You have not established who the fuck this person is, what they fuck they've done, or why the fuck I should care. I'm going to assume it's some egotistical rich busybody that has achieved nothing of significance by their own hand and is looking for some more ego stroking.
It's news because the OS / filesystem cares is incompatible with a storage device because it has flash cache baked in.
WTF kind of sense does that make? The OS / filesystem shouldn't know or care!
In the PC world, hybrid drives, or "SSHD"s, are completely abstracted away. They're just another fucking storage device and the firmware tries to speed some shit up on its own.
Apparently for the Mac world, this isn't the case.
On my phone, Chrome and the built-in Chrome-lite that other apps can load default to Google search and I don't have any decent ad blocking options without resorting to root (which I had on my prior phone but is a pain to manage because of fucking Safety Net).
The Google search "experience" in a Google browser on a Google platform with Google ads is fucking intolerable. The location-based ads (and notifications for them) are particularly egregious. I don't give a shit if Google is abusing their power in terms of who gets those ad slots. They're abusing their power by having so many fucking intrusive ads tied into the Android platform so closely.
Google need to be broken up far more than MS ever did.
Nobody working in a bank would flush EUR notes. They would know that they will clog up the pipes because they do not dissolve, as banknotes are made from cotton, not paper. Also, shredding them would be easy, but not effective, because you still get the serials from the micro-writing on them. Incidentally, a large bank would have a document incinerator and that is reliable.
Best guess would be somebody with significant money but mental problems. That would also explain the Spanish lawyer paying for the repairs.
Uh, if people didn't flush things that they knew would clog the pipes then there would be far fewer plumbers in the world. They've probably been at this for a long time, and since the shredded bits didn't clog the pipes the first time, or the second time, or the third, they kept doing it.
This was illicit, so note destruction and disposal wasn't carried out via the normal means. And disposal was the more important aspect.
The Swiss know a LOT of the shit they handle is illegal, fraudulent, tied to warlords, drug lords, slavers, etc. They don't care until they might get caught.
My guess is this Swiss bank had a ton of counterfeit 500 Euro notes and they knew it, and a few key people had been shredding and flushing them for ages.
By that logic people would be terrified to take a taxi or an Uber. And you really don't have control if some drunk in the oncoming lane swerves into yours; your fate is up to pure luck.
The notion of "control" I think is just rationalizing familiarity bias.
Many people ARE too afraid to take a taxi (or an Uber). And it's much easier to back out of a taxi or Uber ride after you see the vehicle and driver. In most cases, you don't even get to see the cockpit or the pilots anymore. And I already mentioned other idiots on the road. You as a driver aren't entirely at their mercy. You can pay attention and avoid them in all but the most extreme circumstances.
I bag my groceries better than most supermarket employees.
There is a reason that they work at a supermarket, and not a job that actually pays decently. Similarly, there is a reason why I have a mentally challenging job
Hatch doors... which would be separate failure points along the way for the pressure difference to be changed.
Assume perfect seals and no malicious or accidental misuse of even a single hatch door. A tech team is sent out to to assist the passengers in getting out. You can't just open the hatch, you've 14.7 lbs of pressure per square inch trying to keep that door closed, assuming it swings out. Now you've got to pressurize either the entire system (so largely shutting it down), or the particular leg you are on. How long does this take? Now how long does it take to undo these steps?
Short of a 9/11, when there is an airplane crash, even an entire airport (or state) is shut down due to weather, the rest of the system keeps going.
This also aside from all of the issues related to thermal expansion & contraction of the materials, making the sealing even more difficult.
Uh, airlock?
If the car can still move, have it drive up to the nearest egress room and line up the doors. If the car can't move, send 2 men in with spacesuits and an umbilical tube.
Connect the egress room door / umbilical tube to the car. Pressurize the egress room, people walk out.
For evacuation, you only have to pressurize a section of the tube if the car is upside down and off the tracks or whatever. For planned maintenance, you'll have to have some sort of method for pressurizing sections individually anyway.
Engineers tend to think statistically -- which is a good thing. But it can produce judgments which are contrary to common intuition. That's because intuition is, from an engineering standpoint, crap.
Take automobiles. Three thousand Americans die annually in cars -- that's like a 9/11 attack every year. Plus car accidents produce a bountiful annual crop of disfigurations and crippling injuries. Yet nobody is concerned about getting in a car. Planes on the other hand are much safer. Now as an engineer trained to use numbers as your yardstick, the natural way of thinking is this: "Since cars are acceptably safe to the public, if I can get the deaths/mile figures for airplanes down to the same level my job is done." Except that plane failures are often spectacularly horrific. People are naturally terrified of them. It's common sense to be afraid of something that moves at hundreds of mile per hour thousands of feet in the air.
So people demand very high levels of safety for aviation, which drives the cost of air travel up. OK, then; that means rationally they should also want the same deal for automobiles, which are by every measure much more dangerous. Except no, every time someone proposes making safety improvements people resist the cost, even though on a dollar per life saved basis the make much more sense than trying to make airliners even safer.
Conclusion: the natural human emotional response to risk and cost is hopelessly borked.
Now the Hyperloop is a novel form of transportation, and our bias against novelty when it comes to fear means that people will demand it be designed to be much safer than air travel even. And by design it probably is. But given the physical nature of the thing, lurking out on the tail end of the probability curve there are no doubt potential events of spectacular carnage. But they are so unlikely that given the number of people who are expected to ride the system it makes no sense.
I don't know specifically what those scenarios are; I'm not a Hyperloop engineer. But if they do exist it may be that I'm literally better off knowing.
It has nothing to do with statistics or common sense.
It has to do with control. Getting into a car meaning you or the person you trust to drive you has a great deal of control over the situation, from driving to knowing the reliability of the vehicle to avoiding external threats from other idiots on the road. Getting into the plane means you have no control and have to trust a stranger for everything.
Because even if it derails it has enough momentum to still reach its destination. Granted it might bring a long a few unintended payload items, such as some cars and city buses.
Assuming it doesn't need to turn or increase elevation to reach its destination, sure.
Ol' Muksy would tweet about it, regurgitating a report from the actual engineers as if he understood it, while promising to fix it in the future as if he did any fucking work on it, regardless of what company it happened to or whether or not he was involved in the project.
Dropping and readding is the easiest way, and is nondestructive to anything the user cares about. The second easiest is running some powershell cmdlets. So what? It takes about a minute.
The admin password is set to a random password during the imaging process.
If anything bad happens on the box, we nuke and pave. The boxes are disposable by policy. If forensics/legal issues come up, it's generally not our problem. They get a copy of the drive and do with it what they will.
Boxes that aren't disposable, or that are used by privileged users DO have long, random admin passwords which are recorded. Domain trust breaking is a sign we're doing it wrong, yes - by giving in and deploying Windows 10. Windows Updates fuck shit up nearly every fucking month for Windows 10.
Repo manager posts a publickey in the repo. User is prompted to trust or distrust that public key when adding the repo, or whenever the repo's public key changes.
Repo manager signs everything they add with the corresponding private key. Users automatically verify everything they download with a stored copy of public key.
Someone who takes over the repo can't fuck users over without also getting the private key or convincing users to trust the new public key.
Better question: Why would you sign up with a cell phone carrier that doesn't operate where you live, especially one whose only good point is the supposed strength of their network. Verizon's certainly not known for great value, and as this article shows, customer service-wise they suck, too.
I mean, if these people were on roaming using all this data, obviously there is somebody with towers up where they live.
Best question: Why would you sell service in an area you don't service and to people you don't want to service?
The goal is for no one to know the local admin password and no one to ever need it. If Windows 10 and its updates keep breaking the SC between machines and their domain, we'd likely resort to setting the admin passwords after imaging and then storing them in KeePass. No Windows/Domain/Network-based attack or Windows vulnerability is going to expose that, nor will a domain fuck up cause them to be inaccessible.
Not sure what this has to do with Mimikatz, exactly. Cached credentials and NTLM hashes? I believe MS patched that out for 2012 R2 and alter functional levels.
We're now seeing Windows 10 machines losing their trust relationship with the DC. The only way to fix it is to drop and rejoin, but you need a local admin account (or one specifically privileged for those domain operations) on the machine to be able to do that.
And our imaging process sets a random password for the admin account and disables it. Because these are domain machines only and we want them to be secure.
So now we have to hope we've got cached domain admin credentials on these boxes (since we started Windows 10 deployments only recently, it seems like we do so far), unplug from the network, login with cached credentials, create an admin account, drop and rejoin, kill off the admin account, etc.
Fucking Windows 10 every fucking time. FUCK YOU MS!
