      A joke or not, once "Disneyfied" it will lose some luster.

      Just wondering - Is anyone seeing a patch for 2019 with a reference to the KB article?
      Checked yesterday, last night and this morning. No update that I can see.

      Currently performing the workaround.

      Thanks. Forgot about the update catalog.

      @stacksofplates Sorry about that - feel free to leave the website off that field and then mention it in your cover letter if it's important for the application.

      Oh it's fine. Just figured I'd mention it.

      @JaredBusch my bet is the NSA was using it, but now some other nation state has found it and is using it. Which is why NSA now wants us all to patch it.

      Yeah this was my point earlier. This tracks with their behavior with EternalBlue.

      I'd be willing to bet that this university had the students setup their network without any oversight or understanding of how it was setup.

      "For today's class we'll be setting up AD 2003 and getting the entire school to use it - You get an A!" and they just let it run and run and run.

      I'm just taking a guess at the AD version, wasn't listed

      @marcinozga said in Equifax claims process is now open:

      I'm getting the cash. 10 years of credit monitoring is worthless, same with their insurance. It won't prevent identity or credit card theft. And their reaction time is piss poor, you'd get a notice 1-3 months later of someone opens new account in your name, and by that time crook will probably charge thousands. Credit freeze is the only option and they don't offer that. Discover bank offers credit monitoring for free to anyone: https://csp.discover.com/free-credit-score/index.html

      Who doesn't offer Credit Freeze? All three of the credit agencies offer credit freezes now - for free. It was a law passed a shortish while ago.

      I managed to freeze Experian and Equifax 2 years ago.. but had issue getting into Transunion... well, in that time, it's become free and all three have made it much easier (though still not brain dead easy) to freeze unfreeze your credit). As of this morning I have all three frozen.

      What I meant was they didn't list that as an option in settlement, instead they offered some useless services. If you don't know about credit freeze in first place, you won't get it. And even if you do, you have to do all the work, and you have to contact all 4 credit bureaus.

      You're absolutely right - and as Scott will undoubtly say/agree with - of course they won't do that, that is counter to their business, against their shareholders, etc.

      Thanks, Nic! Hello all. Appreciate the warm welcome.

      You're very welcome around here! @Nic used to send us all bottles of single malt scotch! In another thread he said that budget has only gone up and you'll be a popular man around here.

      And he never sent us that 12 year old crap, only 30+ years! Nic knew how to get people drunk.

      Scholar and a gentleman that @Nic. Proper generous with the liquid bribery.

      This is exactly what the original Surface was. A Windows only piece of hardware. ARM based, Secure Boot locked Windows only computer. I have no problem with that, while not blatantly obvious, anyone reading the specs would realize this.
