The company I must recently worked at would turn a zero day around essentially overnight as well. But we didn't like it, because something else got pushed aside for it. This will be somewhat more than a typical zero day because it will affect every class of device, whereas most zero days only affect certain classes or versions of devices. The original point was that you don't want to turn something like this into a last minute emergency by passing legislation that doesn't allow industry time to deal with it.

I should have added an /s tag. It’s a post-ban, fully-auto, large capacity, patrol-assault rifle if we want to add all the MA qualifiers.

I have no recollection of a specific model/caliber ever mentioned in any article I read or posted,i posted myself the theft original article,the safe recovery follow up article and this mornings teens arrested article.I have no recollection.

I believe you ,the M4 Carbine is a shoter barreled lighter weight version in the .223/5.6mm caliber that is the same as the M16/AR-15

If one was keeping a rifle in their car they'd want the light weight carbine model.

I might be opening Pandora's Box here... but could you elaborate?

The weapon stolen was an M4, they mentioned it very early on when it first happened.

Yep, I'm one of those people who works in said environments. I can say, with confidence, that with automation available at the orgs you mention (Commonly MECM, Intune, or GPO for Windows and Ansible for Linux/anything else SSH) this change would be pretty dang trivial.

Windows Registry example (likely delivered through GPO, MECM, or Intune) - This would cover most use-cases for the environments you mention.

To add, I also work in one of those "regulated industries" (government/defense). There are specific processes for stuff like this that requires quick action and to bypass normal CCBs. An example for the gov/mil side is when 0-days are discovered (think SolarWinds and Log4J). Do they want to spend months testing and approving? Hell no! While flipping a time-zone config isn't exactly the same as remediating a vulnerability, fixing it would be important to business continuity to justify some expedited changes.

> The actual change might only take a couple days to roll out, but it's not like companies have people sitting around waiting to do this, they have day to day business to take care of as well.

Most of the companies you mentioned in regulated industries do have folks that spend their work day doing this. People like ISSOs/ISSMs, change/config managers, automation engineers just to name a few. It is their business to stay abreast of upcoming changes and respond.

Yes by by 4:30 or so you get a sunrise in late and daylight til almost 9:30pm ,we have almost a Nordic midnight sun effect.

Been all over the news for about a week now

If Market Basket opened in the Pioneer Valley (Hamp, Holyoke, Hadley) it would make a Gadzillion dollars. All we have is overpriced Big Y and totally inept Stop & Shop.

Yes. Because by late June Eastern Mass has decent daylight by 4:30am. Push that to 5:30.

Funny how we all notice that about every article on the topic, but the media themselves doesn't seem to notice.

2nd this, these are some great towns to live in, but can be pricey. Also recommend looking in the Bridgewater area, lots of college students around so more rentals available than in other Massachusetts suburbs. Plus closer to Boston and access to commuter rail.

I understand how ntp and timezone files work. I know most people won't have an issue, or maybe their lights won't come on at the right time because their automation hub didn't update, but no big deal. In commercial environments, often with thousands of devices, automatic updates are often disabled. Updates are tested in a lab, then a QA environment, then rolled out to production servers in phases. In regulated industries like healthcare and finance, there is typically more process. Every change is documented, scheduled, authorized and verified. The actual change might only take a couple days to roll out, but it's not like companies have people sitting around waiting to do this, they have day to day business to take care of as well.

There some very nice homes in Assonet in the Assonet Bay Area

I’m in Ware and I would give up every Big Y for a single Market Basket

That's what I thought

Lol. And here’s the problem with people in our state. No one even knows what an AR is but they want to ban it. The current AWB is clearly written by someone with no understanding of guns.

We are so much farther East than most of the East Coast. At the very least, we should be in the Atlantic time zone
