yes, its true, manually going to the safe boot menu and deleting that hex and registry entry is only solution, since no one can automate rebooting the system

- Many businesses face days or weeks to recover from Friday's massive computing outage caused by a faulty software update from CrowdStrike.
- The update to CrowdStrike's Falcon software led to widespread disruption, affecting Windows PCs, servers, airlines, hospitals, and broadcasters globally.
- Experts highlight the unprecedented nature of a security agent causing such extensive damage, requiring manual fixes for millions of computers.
- CrowdStrike's large customer base, including over half of the Fortune 500, exacerbates the impact, raising concerns about the interconnectivity and concentration risk in the market.
- Security researchers warn of potential phishing scams exploiting the chaos, while the incident underscores the trade-off between rapid security updates and system resilience.

What's the craziest reason someone got fired?

Here's mine at my previous job. A collegue of mine was fired for smoking weed in the bathroom. He got back to his laptop and he was high as fuck, I am pretty sure he didn't even understand why he was getting fired.

Hey everyone,
Hope it's going well. 

What this post is: a place to hang around and chat just about anything - without having a specific topic to discuss.  
Think of it like the watercooler at your office.  
 
Look forward to hearing from you all :)

Atlassian revoked offer for 2024 graduating batch 💀

Operations Manager

Sometimes our company exaggerates basic perks, Are any such good perks applicable in your current company? 

Razorpay: MacBook For Evryone 
Meesho: Work from Anywhere 

Also, Pet sick leave etc

Perks that makes sense

Product Manager

I understand that companies want to start new year with new energy. But doing it in the last working week of this year is just nuts. 

Let folks enjoy the year. Do it in Jan first/ second week. 

By doing now, you’re literally spoiling this year and the next. 

To founders out there: grow some spine, tell your investors you won’t do it now. I don’t think it’ll hurt your company much (I mean you’ve not done enough, and that’s the reason you’re in this mess, probably suck it up and wait for few more weeks) 

To the folks out there, who got impacted, my heart goes out to you all. Good luck. Market is tough, but I know you guys will make it.

[rant]- What’s up with startups? Sudden layoffs in literally last working week of this year

They  opt for dec, because its quarter ending. The books will appear cleaner from Jan and that  quarter will look better when it ends.

It has nothing to do with new energy from new year.  Its like they clean the old shit to prepare for new shit.

Roughly 2.5% of the workforce. Are there any details on teams and geographies impacted?

I am just speechless. Can't believe that this can happen.

Got fired for using betting apps and trading on company laptop...

Everyone knows you are not supposed to use company laptop for anything personal. This startup I used to work part-time for during college had some monitoring software on their laptops.

Somehow intimate moments were leaked of someone on the team, she slammed such a case on these fuckers that the entire startup almost got wiped out in legal fees.
