Originally posted by aldra this is a video of Hez killing two Merkavas with ATGMs, couldn't embed because of the extension. the first one was idle but the second one was on the move so it looks like the TROPHY APS isn't effective against the ATGMs used (KORNETs I think).
interesting video relating to APS - this missile is an ALMAS, which is an Iranian clone of israel's own SPIKE (which itself is based on the US JAVELIN).
you can clearly see in the video that the TROPHY APS picks up the missile and pops off the covers on the countermeasures but detects it too late to actually fire them off before the missile impacts.
I've been wondering for a while now how the TROPHY APS is being defeated; this video would imply that it has a hard time detecting a moving target, and it's only effective against short range projectiles (like the RPG9s Hamas likes to use) where it can detect the launch/fire of the projectile - detecting a missile in flight rather than the initial firing of the jet seems to be more difficult. -

Originally posted by Kingoftoes Or is the consumer's knowledge of maintenance/repair expenses generally lacking compared to their knowledge of initial expenses?
I don't care much for economics but people in general are far more willing to eat ongoing costs than upfront costs, like those ridiculous no credit check 20% interest used car lots that are all over the poorer parts of the US. "that's not my problem, that's next week Jamal's problem"
if you can make a product more appealing with the same upfront cost people are going to be more willing to buy it even if the ongoing costs are higher -
2024-07-20 at 6:10 AM UTC in (Aldra Pls Answer)What are some important Maritime Choke Points?choke points in what context? because some of those could be closed without significantly impacting shipping but would incur extra travel time/costs, like how Yemen has effectively shut down the Strait of Hormuz for some ships, creating a significant imbalance in costs for friendly/unfriendly shipping without fully stopping traffic.
the Sea of Japan/East China sea near Japan and South Korea isn't really a chokepoint per se but it's one of the most important regions of control for current global shipping routes; it's a large part of why the US insists on maintaining bases there. -

Originally posted by RIPtotse I agree with all this but why doesn't everyone see that this secured trumps election and was a positive for him?
HTS and MMQ pointed it out on the first page lol
thing is I just don't see enough evidence to suggest anything about it is fake over the SS/local police just being retarded.
if it was fake it'd be insanely risky considering he was an inch or two from a headshot, unless you buy the story that the shooter was a patsy that was just firing blanks and got tricked into a self-execution, and Trump himself was in on it and intentionally slashed up his ear. -

Originally posted by the man who put it in my hood windows drivers are pretty funky. As a lifelong windows user I just press the buttons and expect it to work. I only ever hear about them when it comes to stuff about malware or innocent things like fax drivers. I've never had an interest until recently
Are windows drivers the big bucks?
for hacks sure, windows drivers effectively bypass the standard memory protection and run as SYSTEM -

Originally posted by the man who put it in my hood I don't see how AI adds much value to network security. Isn't there some giant global computer data sharing thing that actively monitors the internet for malware trends and has existed since like 2005 and all the people involved share all the data? Which is basically almost AI itself at that point, and then adding another layer of AI on top of that seems kinda redundant
they try to shoehorn AI into everything to build hype now, but the idea in this context is that the antivirus tracks how applications behave on your computer and sends that information back to their head office.
the AI there analyses terabytes of this data to try to determine what activity is suspicious in order to detect malware-related behaviour early. before AI it'd be done manually; people would be paid to analyse this information, but AI can do it faster and cheaper (if not as accurately). -

if this is right, they went to the trouble of building these 'secure' driver modules and signing them with microsoft only to load unsigned, unprotected data (maybe code, not sure) into them

Originally posted by ner vegas might see if I can take one of the sys files apart
ok, it's not the driver module itself that's failing, they pushed 'channel' files which are like config updates for the driver modules, and the updates were being generated with invalid formatting. that would explain why they're different; it's not the actual modules themselves that are being updated, they just don't bother to check the config updates.
the channel files are only like 1kb -

Originally posted by Dirtbag It's affected the NHS.
Took down our entire emergency department as we were treating a heart attack. 911 down for our state too. Nowhere for people to be diverted to because the other nearby hospitals are down. Hard to imagine how many millions of not billions of dollars this one bad update caused.
they have a huge number of contracts, and they charge $100-200USD per year per machine.
LOL. -

2024-07-19 at 4:21 PM UTC in Crowdstrike anti-malware breaking Windows PCs this morningthe issue is with Falcon Sensor, which as best I can tell is a module that feeds application data back to Crowdstrike's AI for heuristics training, so I don't understand why that particular service would even need a kernel module in the first place.
they've disabled updates so it shouldn't brick any new machines but the whole thing is confusingly opaque, even in their own documentation -
2024-07-19 at 4:17 PM UTC in Crowdstrike anti-malware breaking Windows PCs this morningCrowdstrike spent over a $1m USD over the last 3 years trying to lobby the government to make their software mandatory on secure government hardware.
they had a very similar issue 3 months back, the same module (Falcon Sensor) where it bricked Debian machines (same thing - faulty driver/kernel modules would stop machines from booting), but few people/companies use Debian + Crowdstrike so nobody really cared a lot. -
