Microsoft CodeCop does not mess about but in fairness he was using identical names for local and global variables.

They have become more an Ad-verb in recent years.

I would be less worried about being on the receiving end of a Nelson “Ha Ha” from the entire IT world, and more worried that Microsoft will ban the side load pattern into the kernel area CrowdStrike depends on for updating their software but also the potential of a major exploit through their software. They have essentially recreated a similar pattern that had Microsoft introduce DEP but for the Kernel. There would be individuals and groups now trying to work out how to exploit knowing there are at least 8 million machines vulnerable and access to the kernel became slightly easier. Hopefully they at least have some cryptographic protection on code that is side loaded so someone can’t just dump a file in the right location.

Harry looked up at Ron and Hermione in despair and then back down at the Nokia phone that had bested countless spells and attacks. They had one final spell left that Dumbledore had shared with them along with the warning that it was a last resort. The spell guaranteed death but each death was gruesome and unique to the victim.

Harry pointed his wand at the phone and shouted, “AcquirusByMicrosoftus!”. The phone began to spin wildly and its screen flashed random patterns until it came to a dead stop. A beam of light shot into the sky from the phone creating a slow moving death eater snake that slowly moved across the sky in a perfectly straight line.

Ron raced forward and scooped the phone up from the ground. “I’ve got this.” He then proceeded to play the most perfect game of snake ever seen in the wizarding world. As he neared the final move both the snake in the sky and the phone began to pulse in and out of existence until finally as the snakes head reached its terminal destination, the snake head let out a final ring tone cry to the tune of Gran Vals as the phone disappeared forever.

“Do do do do .. do do do do … do do doo doo dooooooo”.

Later that evening at the local tavern.

“So then when it fails for the third time, he drinks a cup of acid, tips his hat to the crowd, and then collapses.”

“Haha! That’s gold!”

The tavern falls silent.

“When I first came here, this was all swamp. Everyone said I was daft to build a castle on a swamp, but I built it all the same, just to show them. It sank into the swamp. So I built a second one. That sank into the swamp. So I built a third. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp. But the fourth one stayed up. And that's what you're going to get, Lad, the strongest castle in all of ~~England~~ the Kāpiti Coast.”

I would take both the fluoro tube out and the starter and just go to Bunnings with them and get them to help pick the right replacements. They stock these in multiple sizes.

Well he is wearing a plague mask.

“The clouds covered the sky, and the sun was choked off permanently. Solar power was but a memory, and an advanced society had depleted most other fuel sources. Surely now the machines would surrender.”

“Bio-electric, thermal, kinetic. All could be harnessed. Everything about the human body was built to extrude power, and they could be grown so easily.”

Didn’t think I would live long enough to see the Matrix become a plausible future.

“You're gonna need a bigger manger.”
