The lowdown on carbon removal

 

Climate interventions. To help combat climate change, scientists are exploring technologies to manipulate the environment, such as preventing some solar radiation from reaching Earth and adding iron to oceans to move carbon dioxide to the seabed faster, although uncertainties remain about effectiveness and safety. In Iceland and Texas, massive machines aim to extract carbon from the air and store it undergroundโ€”and many more such facilities are plannedโ€”the New York Times reports. [NYT]

Angry admins share the CrowdStrike outage experience

 

IT administrators are struggling to deal with the ongoing fallout from the faulty CrowdStrike file update. One spoke to The Register to share what it is like at the coalface.

 

Speaking on condition of anonymity, the administrator, who is responsible for a fleet of devices, many of which are used within warehouses, told us: "It is very disturbing that a single AV update can take down more machines than a global denial of service attack. I know some businesses that have hundreds of machines down. For me, it was about 25 percent of our PCs and 10 percent of servers."

 

He isn't alone. An administrator on Reddit said 40 percent of servers were affected, along with 70 percent of client computers stuck in a bootloop, or approximately 1,000 endpoints.

 

Other administrators reported having 250,000 clients and servers all over the world to deal with.
