It’s also the most profitable.

I used to find it had something to do with the explorer thumbnailer finishing up but sort of not letting go. It would happen if I had pictures or videos on the USB drive, and if I got the error I could go to another folder like my documents, drag a picture into another folder, go look at the pretty new thumbnail, then I could remove the USB drive because the thumbnailer was ‘parked’ back on the C drive. Sounds like I’m making it up but I swear it worked.

EA did 9/11

on Microsoft’s cloud platform, Azure

Let’s be really clear here, this wasn’t Microsoft Azure. By Microsofts own admission like a month ago, this was a custom product based on Azure that Microsoft specifically tailored for Israel’s Genocide operations. Fuck their attempt at distancing themselves now.

This has been a constant stream of terrible reporting on this story. It’s shocking. I guarantee the geriatric fuck that wrote this article didn’t bother to ask a single nerd what they think. He actually called it stealthy. ITS A FUCKING CELL SIGNAL. they triangulate that shit for fun. They actually keep saying this could DDOS cell towers - do they think NYC has low pop density? that city creates more organic traffic from a baseball game than these devices could pump out, and they’re so close to eachother they’d interfere with themselves WAY before they started to affect everyone else’s access to that cell tower.

The reporting on this has been absolute shit. There’s an endless stream of these types of cell services out there, they’re definitely shady, this one got caught up facilitating prank calls to members of congress and they rightfully got raided. But the rest reeks of the capt crunch whistling into a phone to set off a nuke bullshit

At least the US government was trying to fix it back then.
