Try using a USB boot stick to boot into Linux and just save whatever you need from the machine and then reformat it. Since this way the machine won't automatically connect to Wi-Fi and potentially cause more issues.
That's the quickest, simplest way without needing to try to diagnose and dig into the system to see what is affected and trying to fix it.
Also what is the computer doing when it boots up? There's not really enough information being given to be able to provide any other advice.
Mustard, yes!
I love some good mustard potato salad.
I absolutely agree. Mental evaluations or other processes or restrictions would be welcomed. I by no means feel that we should just leave things exactly as they are. However too many people just scream about banning weapons with no forethought into the subject.
Because, as a country that already has so many guns, it's not so simple to just say, "fuck it, no more guns". Just three days ago my neighbor lost his marbles and decided to shoot up his apartment at 2am. I share a wall with this psycho.
The cops didn't even bother to come out even though I had video proof of the incident.
I own a weapon for this exact reason. I have a family to protect and if I can't even depend on the resources that are supposed to be there to protect us from this, then I will continue to own a weapon.
I lived in Japan for almost a decade, guns are almost non-existent there. It was awesome.
I wish it could be like that here in the US but there would need to be a radical shift in public perception of the police and each other for that to ever happen.
Edit: corrected spelling from weapoon to weapon lol.
I have been arrested for looking like someone else.
The cop proceeded to take me to an older woman's house to ID me, she proceeded to tell the cop that her grandson had brown (mine was bleach blonde) hair, no piercings (me: eyebrow, nose, lip, both ears, tongue), and was about 10 years younger than me. For reference I am mixed but basically white. But the same shit happened and it was absolutely ridiculous.
Don't trust the police to do the right thing ever.
I absolutely agree with you, I dislike the way they are going about it completely.
I don't use zoom, and probably never will, but as article points out, this is not a new concept, it happens every day.
Without federal protections this is and will be our future and our rights will continuously be eroded away. Humans are income streams that are going to be exploited at every opportunity.
Zoom has already backtracked on this. This article even points out that it is opt out, provided after they received huge backlash.
Doesn't make what they did right, but please read the article before you post saying the opposite of what the article says.
Because your 0$ per month after dropping them doesn't hurt their bottom line.
Corporations generally weigh the risks and the benefit often wins out and they make more money because there are enough people that either reluctantly cave into the fee increase, forgot about their subscription or just don't care that it's going up.
It's fairly seldom (but seems to be increasing over the years) to see so much backlash that a company walks back on what they were planning to do.
バービ sounds more correct to me or バールビ (ba- ru bi) if you want the r sound but if you look it up it is shown as バービー in Japan. Strange that they would elongate the ビー.
I lived in Japan for almost 10 years, so I'm somewhat confident about that. Translations, especially phonetic ones can be a little weird sometimes.
That's some deep fried history right there.
Hopping on a live USB to recover files is your safest option.
It will also give you an opportunity to scan files (with something like clam av) while running from a system other than Windows, so you're less likely to encounter any further infections. Not that Linux can't be infected, it's just much less likely and you'd be running from a flash drive and off network anyway so it's about as safe as you can get.
You would need to connect the live USB to the Internet to install clam av on the USB stick or something similar, but that can be done while using a separate machine before actually plugging into the affected machine.
I can't really offer any advice on using any software for scanning as I keep personal things on separate drives segregated from the network so if something ever did happen I'd just wipe and start over.
May be a good idea to take though. Get him a USB drive that he can store files on and disconnect when he doesn't need it.
Just some thoughts from someone that works in desktop support and has been tinkering for a little over 20 years.
Good luck!
