One quite convenient thing is that Windows Installer packages can be installed via Group Policy, making deployment for new nodes work like a charm. How is a sysadmin supposed do this with scripts?
Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I am missing the old Microsoft these days. How did we end up in the world where technologies like Windows Installer are replaced with PowerShell scripts that downloads software from the Internet?
As far I remember NAND/NOR memory (used for SSD) is very slow to *erase*. The erase operation can be performed only by big chunks, requires higher voltage etc.
SSD vendors circumvent this by adding several layers of write buffers to achieve good test results.
I think there is relatively cheap way to reduce such scams: make it mandatory for banks etc to perform “training” of the clients. Regularly make a call to clients asking for sensitive data. Then block account if client provides this data.
