Thread by @LetheForgot to @SwiftOnSecurity on Thread Reader App – Windows boot recovery

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/09/23

[Wayback/Archive] Thread by @LetheForgot on Thread Reader App:

What we did was use the advanced restart options to launch the command prompt, skip the bitlocker key ask which then brought us to drive X and ran “bcdedit /set {default} safeboot minimal“which let us boot into safemode and delete the sys file causing the bsod.

Not scalable at all but let us get vital systems running while we try to solve the bootloop en masse

Don’t forget to renable normal booting afterwards by doing the same but running “bcdedit /deletevalue {default} safeboot“

Just in case another event like the 2024 Crowdstrike debacle happens.

A long time ago I asked about the manual for a Daryis ST-977 weather station, but got no response from the manufacturer or anyone else.

So about 9 months later the topic came back up and I did get some responses, most suggesting to use the SET button which I already tried earlier.

I retried and found out the button was both bouncing and needed to be held for a really long time (15+ seconds!) to even switch to “edit” mode.

With 4 AA batteries in the base it at least should survive a power outage and hopefully by now we have switched away from using daylight saving time in Europe so no time changes are needed in the future.

Later I found out the FCC was on the external sensor and could find back a manual of a similar model:
