    Question becomes... How much in treasuries do they have to dump? And it does sound like a "You only have so many bullets in that magazine there chief..." scenario.

    So from the "There's no way they're STILL pissed about that" file... Last night was the first night Luka played against the Mavs in Dallas. They made a big deal out of it, handed out T-shirts with something on them in Slovenian (couldn't use Luka's name or number because he's on another team...

    OK, So I wrapped up the "reseal the travertine shower" project. Question I have now is how long to let the new sealer cure before use. Bottle says 24-72 hours for a complete cure, but "Can be used in 8 hours". I could see 8 hours for something which would have minimal water contact like a...

    I think if we have solid to good inflation numbers tomorrow and Trump makes real headway in getting China to bend the knee this will have legs.

    I have friends who work at Crowdstrike.... I'm starting to worry and think I might need to do some welfare checks on them. They can't be doing well right now.

    Another option to take exists. I'm not sure if it exists in Crowdstrike as it's been a hot minute since I was working through their UI and options but... In most modern EDR/NGAV tools I have worked with there are options for "Auto-update, but delay X days before applying it". Which then...

    As mentioned, the TLDR of it all is : If you pay extra each month make sure it's going towards principal. Some banks will call it "pre-paying" the next months interest, some will consider it an extra payment into the escrow account, etc. Most banks apply it to principal by default, but make sure.

    I'd say if you know you're going to be able to easily pay it off at either term look for the term with the lowest interest rate. If that's the 30, you go that way and just overpay each month applying it to principal. And yeah, for the most part the posted rates they show on sites are always...

    The default "best practice" that all companies in this space tend to default to is "allow automatic updates so you always have the latest protections". What most large organizations then change that to is a "Dev/Test/Prod" approach. New content updates for EDR/AV start in "Test", you deploy to...

    I didn't even go really into how it balances in the end... Sales, in many cases, is a life of feast and famine. In my area of sales and with the customers I have it's often 2-3 quarters of "survive" and then one quarter of "blow it out and all hail accelerators!" Companies either have to...

    It actually ends up balancing out..... You pull something forward to make Q2 look better, that means Q3 just took a hit... So then you need to pull Q4 stuff to fill Q3 for things you pulled into Q2.. it's kinda silly, but it's the way of things. OTOH, I have been in situations where my company...

    This is definitely affecting some areas, but I would say consulting/planning and such will be the most resistant so long as people want/need human input. In my world, you're dead on right. This movement was starting around 2017-2018. It used to be that we would sell to the security teams at...

    My theory... (full disclosure, I work in sales in cybersecurity, but not for Crowdstrike). They run one month offset, meaning that July is the end of their Fiscal Q2. It is very common practice in cybersecurity companies to pile a lot of deals in the last week of the quarter (and even moreso...

    Having a bad Blue Screen morning on 7/19/2024? Crowdstrike pushed out a bad update. (fix in thread)

    I will have to admit that to run the fix in an environment with Bitlocker you essentially have to have your IT department read you off a 64 character string and you have to enter it to boot into safe mode is some serious Chef's Kiss level of hurt locker pain.
