Escaping from the customer VM into the management backplane and then going from there into random customers’ VMs is probably not something that should be possible, but in the rare occasion that an exploit is found, the company’s internal monitoring should have picked it up. -

Whatever changed about drivers in #Microsoft_Windows 11 requires the device manufacturer to issue updated drivers, and it appears that they have not done so.
Nice to know this, but I’m not going to bother trying to find a solution until and unless I actually have to deal with the problem. -

He “retired” 2-3 years ago and thinks that just avoiding the workplace environment at $EMPLOYER will add years to his life. He encouraged me to hurry up and pull the plug instead of waiting for an assignment to open up. -

(I think they used cooperative mutlitasking.) I hope that transit agency doesn’t allow those systems to have contact (even indirectly) with the Internet 🛜. It could be really bad if $STATE_OWNED_RANSOMWARE_GANG was to gain a foothold. -

#NE legislaure mulls bill to make public electric utility board elections partisan.
That's a mistake. They should ban outside money instead of allowing political parties to affect the utilities.In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink Attachments

It is an irregularly shaped rock, about 35 meters across and the view was from a ground telescope in #Italy. Therefore, the view was a white dot that got brighter or dimmer (even briefly disappeared) depending on which side was facing us.
The soon to be five year old had a good time, but wasn't able to articulate what he saw.In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink -

If I'm working in #SoCal and I send e-mail to someone in Washington DC, three hours ahead, I need to send it before noon my time or I may miss the person.

It went on repeat for close to an hour. Then I listened to a few other songs, culminating in the “I’m not gonna pee pee my bed tonight” song.
(I think that if you tried to make your child sing this in public today, social services would probably show up and take the child away. Mad props to the youngster for his poise. Maybe because he’s so young. By school age, this would be humiliating.)In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink Attachments

But this is the same doctor who recommended not getting the #COVID-19 shots until they’ve been out at least five years, so maybe he got his license out of a Cracker Jack box.In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink -

But it sounds like they were popular in Germany at least. The 1980s? Definitely 1990s, so maybe some years before and after also. In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink -

I had found the Kelly Family a few years before and listened to several of their songs, but once the “Pee Pee” song hit US television, a YouTube search would only bring up zillions of poorly recompressed uploads of this song.
That was a few years ago and now finally, it is possible to find their music again.In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink Attachments

If they were worsening, I know he would have called. He did tell me that the doctor believes that all three boys and their mom caught #RSV and that the pneumonia that #GS4 and #GS5 got is a residual from that.
Unfortunately, the doctor didn’t do any tests because he said the primary cause was over and done with. (I had asked whether the doctor had tested for any of the diseases that are filling emergency rooms right now: #COVID-19 / #2019-nCoV, RSV, #influenza / #flu )In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink -
