True for all systems, but AV updates are exempt from such policies. When there is a 0day you want those updates landing everywhere asap. Things like zscaler, cs, s1 are updating all the time, nearly everywhere they run.

I'd attempt an answer. 1/ imagine running >1000 legacy applications, some never updated in 20 years 2/ imagine a byzantine mix of local data centers, VPCs in aws/gcp/azure 3/ imagine a IT departament run by

We are a major CS client, with 50k windows-based endpoints or so. All down. There exists a workaround but CS does not make it clear whether this means running without protection or not. (The workaround does get the windows boxes unstuck fro

It does, but it is not clear whether the thing still works. The machines we treated to this workaround boot and work ok, but appear as 'offline' in the CS host management console. The updates from CS are very vague at this point.

We had a few machines come out of the boot loop - only to re-enter it 20 mins later. I am sure CS pulled the patch from their CDNs but ...maybe some cached versions still linger?

We have outages across whole APAC and most EMEA. Despite being a very big client of CS, we do not have an official resolution yet, an hour into the incident.

We have ~50 thousand laptops in reboot loop and ~1.5k servers as well. No resolution yet.

Same here, but adoptoion is a challenge. People tend to stop using it after the first instance of a bullshit answer - they lose trust completely. Which is, seemingly, inevitable.

That. Plus, with the AI act in the EU it will soon be illegal to do things like matching people to jobs fully automatically unless the toolkit offers top to bottom explainability and bias mitigation. In my industry there are tons of sexy de

The price of errors is too high, I'd imagine. I see this everywhere in my own domain - AI stuff is super easy to demo and prototype, but running in production in scenarios where errors are not cheap is a recipe for disasters. We are cu

Also, this assumes the checks are actually performed - which is a compute intensive operation for a human (names in various languages, etc). I once accidentally swapped passports with my wife, and we both boarded without questions. We don

Thats not universally true, probably not even mostly true. I must have taken a few hundred flights from Schiphol with KLM and was never id-checked on flights within Schengen. There are airports when checks are performed but far from all o

Depends on the country, airport, airline. Horrible airlines like ryanair and wizzair id check because they monetize typos (made a typo? Real risk of refused boarding, and changing the name costs money). I usually fly KLM/AF and I get i

I'd propose the following line of reasoning: - people tend to use company devices for private stuff, even when its explicitly prohibited, - draconian policing leads to employee dissatisfaction; you won't be able to fire that great

I wonder who would actually do that. The only reason I watch tv is to socialize with my family. I think if we were just sitting on the couch all wearing VR googles it would ruin the entire use case for watching stuff together. Surely, some

It'll be a flop. Noone with a pretty face would be caught dead wearing this, and fashion trends are set by pretty people. Its creepy.

Dunno if thats true. Assume mid range 200w gpu. Assume 20 eurocents per kWh (I live in the northern europe and pay about as much on a flexible contract). Assume a decent PSU. A year of gaming (assume, very optimistically, 365hrs) is circa 1

Well, until now it was also quite OK to just be intelligent and maybe hard working. I'd venture a guess that most of this site is doing well by the virtue of being born with efficient brains - and that would offset not being pretty or

Maybe. Or maybe the price of passing the cost of internal bloat to the customer is coming to an end? Look at their gross vs net margin. Where is the money spent? How much engineers vs. non engineers do they employ? Did they acquire naming r

The expected value of a leading AI company is probably in hundreds of billions, if not trillions in the foreseeable future. He could be burning billions per month and he'd still be doing great.

In fact, I was waiting for years for them to add a min instances option. But otherwise, agree, been running large and small production workloads since it launched and its been great.

Can you elaborate? I rented a few rooms with Regus (in Europe), and it worked just fine.
