Star is part of a command to delete any file matching a wildcard `C-00000291*.sys` meaning "starts with 'C-00000291', has any kind of text after that and ends with '.sys'". Actual files appear to differ for every machine

> I've obtained copies of the .sys driver files Crowdstrike customers have. They're garbage. Each customer appears to have a different one.

> The .sys files causing the issue are channel update files, they cause the top level CS driver to crash as they're invalidly formatted. It's unclear how/why Crowdstrike delivered the files and I'd pause all Crowdstrikes updates temporarily until they can explain.

The source for the news is a clickbait farm with low quality rage-baiting content and no information about its sources (overclockers ru). The Sun but about games, phones and computers
According to user reports, most bans are not due to vpn itself, but cheating in games (mostly cs2), fraud (vpn + stolen card) and bots (I dunno about this one)
So no, it’s not because of helldivers Sony made a stupid decision, can’t deny this part tho
> The inability for most docks to support the Switch 2 may not be malicious from Nintendo. It might just be a poor or lazy implementation of the USB-C specification
From the verge [0], 2 months ago:
> When I analyze the conversation between the Nintendo Switch 2 and its dock, I can see the two devices begin speaking in Nintendo’s own flavor of “vendor defined” language early in the conversation, before they sign off on any video output. And then, seemingly before the dock confirms that it’s engaged video-out, they send over 30 proprietary “unstructured” messages to one another.
> […]
> According to Antank, which says it checked with its chip supplier, that hexadecimal string “is indeed the current key being used by Nintendo.” My other sources are less sure.
I'm pretty sure lttl's conclusion is plain wrong. It is not JUST lazy USB-C implementation, but a purposefully designed special proprietary protocol on top of USB-C
