I was totally psyched to see the blood moon tonight, aaand it clouds over an hour before it starts.

Cloudy here as well, Flame. I feel your pain...

But if it's any consolation, it appears that there'll be another total lunar eclipse on October 8 of this year.

I don't know what the hell happened, my family has less than 3 months to move out of here. We were supposed to have more time (at least by the end of this year) to fix the other house and this [parasitic bomb] happens?!

For some reason my Tab shutted itself off and it won't turn on again, and I know it wasn't because I ran out of battery.

Family drama again.

If you read my previous posts, It finally happened.

If not, then go read those because I don't feel like saying anything else. I'm just sort of... confused.

Correct.

And how did I find out about this?

A text. I mean I wasn't at home since I was at my other grandparents after seeing Cap 2. But still... a text.

I'm fine, honestly.

Sort of conflicted, I'm not really sad since I knew it was going to happen eventually, but I'm not like... feeling nothing towards the situation.

Its sort of... uncomfortable, I guess? Hard to really grasp since this is basically the first death in the family that I've experienced that wasn't a pet.

It's expected, though I never experienced a death in the family of someone I really know, just extended family that were pretty old or at least in The 50-60 range.  Most of them was because they got some sort of cancer or stroke and most of those were because they smoked. 

However I know I'm going to see some worse things with my Abuelo having Alzheimers himself, my own father and his crap with meds and his mental problems, and my uncle who was a vet that came back from Nam and is having some nasty issues from being exposed to Agent Orange.   That's going to suck.

Finding out about it through text, though.  It's so impersonal.  I'm sorry you had to find out that way.

Again, its to be expected. I was out of the house and my mother probably assumed I was sleeping so she just texted me to let me know.

Better than keeping me out of the loop but its not perfect.

Yeah that's kind of hard too I would have rather at least have a phone call, though I do appreciate knowing quickly and even then I would understand since the person might be crying and make it hard to understand.  It's not ideal, but at least you found out one way or another.

My Parent's laptop caught a Cryptolocker.

I got rid of it... But now they are both very upset because mom told dad tons of times, for years now, to move all the photos from the PC to external storage, and he always put it off, so now, there's a whole slew of pictures which are encrypted and will never be seen again.

What the serious [tornado fang]. Can't believe those bastards got to your family's laptop. Sorry to hear that your photos are forever lost. Did the laptop had any sort of anti-virus/malware when this happened? I had to install secretly avast!, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, and Adblock Plus on their Firefox to try and prevent something like that from happening.

The problem with ransomware is that it doesn't show itself until it's finished. Usually it's too late when it becomes detected.

I guess all I can really say is it isn't exactly what I'd expect out of a $4.4M game

It doesn't even have mouth animations

It was the stupidest thing. They got a bogus Amazon email with an attachment. yet despite establishing it was shady and fake, they still decided to download "Report.zip"

I thought they knew better.

As for antivirus, they had Verizon Security Suite, which means they might as well have had nothing since it's powered by McAfee. Dad gets touchy when I tell him he shouldn't pay for it since it's [parasitic bomb], so i leave him be, but looks like it took an actual threat to install avast and malwarebytes on the laptop.

That sucks about the photos though.

My biggest problem with computers is that the older generation is generally really stubborn when it comes to technology. It shouldn't have taken that much effort to get him to install an actual virus scan.

I think I remember trying to install Malwarebytes onto my computer but it wouldn't let me.  Maybe I should try again once my Norton runs out. 

And I probably just invited myself to get yelled at but at least I never installed McAfee even with my college using it.
