It does mention that those posts were from 2015. Though that still would have been about a decade after Adobe took over.

ETA: Clicking on the post they are referencing, the original author called it Adobe Flash, so not sure why it was changed for this article.

Actually yes. The attack actually happened during the first week of the new director being there.

No, there is no indication that the old director had anything to do with it.

If I remember correctly, we were able to restore folders from the shadow copies. I certainly didn’t go file by file. I might have used a tool to do it. But as you pointed out, it’s not a proper backup so we had to do quite a bit of reconciliation to make sure we restored everything and document anything we couldn’t restore.

Yeah, shadow copies on Windows servers are snapshots of files. They allow users to see previous versions of a file.

It’s not really intended as a backup solution on its own, but some backup software does use the volume shadow copy service (VSS) to perform backups on Windows servers.

I was basically restoring files from this prompt in Windows.

Once I had to restore an entire organization from shadow copies because the IT director didn’t believe in off-site backups or using endpoint protection. The whole network got a ransomware that included the backups, but did not include the shadow copies on the main file server.

At least I got to help them build a disaster recovery procedure, and pick out a new EDR.

We are literally just posting ads here now?

SD - Secure Digital (memory card you’d use for most things)

FTP - File Transfer Protocol (a way to upload files to a server)

RTSP - Real Time Streaming Protocol (a way to stream video)

NVR - Network Video Recorder (a device that records video)

Reolink doorbell cameras don’t need to be connected to the cloud. They can record to an SD card or upload to an FTP server. You can connect to them with RTSP and run your own NVR if you want too.

How comfortable are you using the terminal to install and update your apps? EndevourOS and (I think) CachyOS do not have a GUI software store to pick your apps from. You typically install software using pacman or yay. They are great options if you’re comfortable with it. But if you’re new to Linux or just want to stick with GUI tools, then I’d stay with PopOS or Bazzite or Linux Mint or something like that.

To be fair, auld and old mean the same thing.

I’m an American living in Canada. Black Friday happens here and it’s really weird to me. In the USA, it happens the day after Thanksgiving, which always falls on a Thursday. So Black Friday makes sense because many people have Friday off (or take it off) and so they have a day to shop for the upcoming holiday season.

In Canada, Thanksgiving does not happen on the same day as in the USA. It happens on a Monday in October. But Black Friday still happens the day after American thanksgiving, which is basically just a random Friday in November for Canadians.

The only thing I will mention is that I don’t know of any Canadian who lines up outside stores for them to open so they can snatch a crappy deal on a TV. I’m sure it happens, but I think most Canadians just need to go to work.

Or this car was just turned on and the photo was taken during the car starting up where all the lights come on at the same time.

Could the Play Store changelog contain a link to the official changelog then?

Way back when, I had a Palm Pixie, which ran WebOS. While it wasn’t FOSS, if you turned on developer mode, you would have full terminal access to the Linux system it was running.

I think HP eventually made it open source and now LG uses it for their TVs. But that phone’s OS was one of the best ones I had seen at the time.

A dipole doesn’t have a ground plane like some other antennas. A dipole is a balanced antenna and both sides work off of each other equally.

With that said, this one is probably used for receiving and if one end is connected to the electrical ground (different thing from antenna ground plane) then it’s going to be the left side with the uninsulated wire most likely.

I think some of the biggest complaints about Vista were its poor driver support and over-active UAC. You couldn’t hardly do anything on the computer without UAC bugging you for permission when Vista first came out.

Windows 2000 sold as both a server OS and a workstation OS, but there was no home edition of 2000. There was also no professional version of Me. It would probably be more accurate to say there were two separate paths of evolution that converged with XP.

NT -> 2000 -> XP
98 -> ME -> XP

Though, XP is built off of the NT kernel, so you could also argue that the 9X line ended with ME.

EndevourOS is a great app for creating a new app that is easy to use and easy to use for your business and business needs.
