In January, Microsoft disclosed that it had been breached again,
this time by Russian state-sponsored hacking group Midnight Blizzard.
The group was able "to compromise a legacy non-production test tenant account" to gain access to Microsoft's systems for "as long as two months."
All of this culminated in a report from the US Cyber Safety Review Board, which castigated Microsoft for its "inadequate" security culture, its "inaccurate pub…

N.Y.P.D. Often Ignores Parking-Permit Abuse, Report Says
Failing to ticket illegally parked cars with officially issued permits is “a form of corruption that erodes the public trust,” the Department of Investigation said.

I'm failing trying mitxela's trick of wrapping a wire around an ironbit for SMD soldering, any one got any ideas? This is a traditional 25W Antex iron it's wrapped on, but it's not getting hot enough on the wire, it boils off flux, melts low-melting point paste but doesn't do anything to existing components:

and five and a half hours later, I think I am running exactly what I'd intended! I /can/ have Dolphin drag and drop to add archival files (it's slow) or use rsync as www-data from the #Nextcloud machine, and a BIG caution to members using desktop apps to un-check 'Shared' unless they want a few terabytes of surprise on their laptop!

the other thing is like, while it might possibly improve surgical outcome, reversers for that part of it don't exist for each drug? and the time to wear off is unpredictable per patient apparently?
and reversing it is very much a US thing vs an EU one?
rocuronium being reversed by sugammadex, for example.
no reversal for propofol because of quick metabolism
Flumazenil reverses benzodiazepines like midazolam (but midazolam has a higher half life) - this is also similar to how Naloxone reverses opiates... although due to the trauma of surgery I don't think you'd want to undo the fentanyl... lol
sev actually prolongs neuromuscular inhibition where propofol doesn't.
aparently sevoflurane doesn't have a reverser either so you time it for end of surgery and it's around... 10-ish minutes typically because anesthesiologists like to stick the landing
