Old saying in is: In Internet men are men, women are men and children are FBI officers.

Edit: 4chan rules of the Internet:

Rule 29: On the internet men are men, women are also men, and kids are undercover FBI agents.

Oh man, we use windows servers at work, so I see this 20x day.

Well, if the MFA device is not available, reset is the only way. If user would be able to bypass the lost device, the whole thing would be vulnerable.

Whole MFA is of course really f stupid, but it is best we got against phishing.

There are always some bottle necks on the network, but the frequency is same on all mainland Europe. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continental_Europe_Synchronous_Area

It is possible that this bottle neck saved the whole European grid coming down.

Electricity network requires that production and consumption are always equal. If there is too little production, the frequency (Hz) goes down and if too little consumption, the frequency goes up. If frequency goes too far every electric device pretty much breaks.

This is why there is automation in the network that tries to balance the network (reserve production and consumption). BUT if shit hits the fan, and frequency goes too bad, it automatically takes load off or production off the network. This often causes domino effect, you take load off, which causes over production, and again you take production off and loop is ready. In minutes the whole network falls like domino blocks, one by one.

There was lots of luck (and probably skill and preparation) that they were able to stop it. Main land Europe from Portugal to Turkey is one big network.

Cold starting whole Europe would have taken week. You need to start small islands, and connect them together slowly. Balancing load and production.

Happy hardcore version is better than original

These things have been illegal in Europe for quite some time. US brands need to use different dyes in candies/sodas in Europe as on US.

I meant that the administration (i.e. Trump) is incompetent for selling the country for pennies.

Million dollar is practically nothing for this kind of company, they will net billions from this.

Even their corruption is incompetent.

Yeah if you put it:

100 - (100 x 0,1) = 90

90 + (90 x 0,1) = 99

It comes quite obvious. And I know the brackets are redundant, but my coder mind forces brackets to all math formulas for readability.

Was it on purpose, maybe.

They are trying to explain "this was the plan all along". Bullshit, they just are flipflopping and have no idea how to run the show.
