I think house alarms are limited to 20 minutes anyway aren’t they? anecdotally but I don't think that will work few years back as part of our kitchen install they upgraded our fuse board to a LCD one (regulations) that night the fuse box kept tripping , followed by the alarm going off shortly after , i had to enter the code and all was good in the world for about 4 minutes until the alarm went off again .. repeat this for the next 3 hours whilst I waited for ADT to come out ( i basically sat next to the alarm panel so I could deactivate the second it went off and not wake the neighbours ... the alarm guy arrived he had to go up the ladder and disable the alarm from there until we could find what was causing the problem the alarm was doing exactly what it was supposed to do , i.e. if any would be burglar cut the juice to the alarm it sees that as a potential threat ( the fuse tripping turned out to be a dodgy wire in the house , not an issue for the old wire fuse boards , but it seems RCD ones throw a wobbler over it ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then remove the front of the man unit to reveal the backup battery pack, remove that, bobs your mums brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good work Crowdstrike I could understand companies being caught out by azure being fubared, but you're having to roll out emergency fixes to your own systems? If this is so fundamentally broken how did it get rolled out in the first place? It can't be that niche a bug if it's having this impact? It's been a good decade since I worked in desktop systems but when I did, we used to at least do some smoke tests of core applications before pushing windows updates or security updates out, and we'd initially pick a small cohort. It seems it just gets done on faith in a lot of places? Edited July 19 by Davkaus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know my alarm quite well as it went a bit mental last year and so I had to isolate it, open it up and swap the pcb out with a replacement I bought on eBay. it’s not the kind of thing that can be easily done if you aren’t familiar (so in short, it was a stupid suggestion by me ) Edited July 19 by Genie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
