https://www.forbes.com/sites/daveywinder/2024/05/31/nsa-warns-iphone--android-users-to-turn-it-off-and-on-again/?sh=6b10c53e7c75
"Users can mitigate the threat of spear-phishing, which can lead
to the installation of yet more malware and spyware, by the same
simple action. However, the NSA document does warn that the
turn it off and on again advice will only sometimes prevent
these attacks from being successful.
"
I wasn't feeling very safe today, but now, after a few simple
ritual sacrifices, everything is OK again.
I'm glad this was explained so ordinary users can follow the logic.
I thought we only went "spear-phishing" on dive trip.
*******
For those users at home, wishing to ritual sacrifice, the steps are:
1) Select "Shutdown" from the power menu in your OS.
2) When the fans stop, switch off at the back. If the machine
has no switch, you could unplug the power cable leading to the
ATX supply.
3) Wait at least 60 seconds (inrush limiter cools off etc...) .
4) Plug in, turn on power switch at the back.
5) Push the button on the front and do a normal bootup sequence
like you do every morning or whatever.
Have the evil spirits left the room ?
I would need a psi meter to check.
Maybe a little cleansing with DISM and SFC would help.
Or a Repair Install. I did a Repair Install on my laptop yesterday,
and as a bonus, the thing put my WinRE on the wrong partition :-)
(I had to hunt around to verify that, as I couldn't believe what
I was seeing, but it really was on the wrong partition.)
Then 5034441 installed itself without a fuss (still on the wrong partition
of course). It ignored the partition I provided for it.
That's proof I enjoy a ritual just as much as the next user.
