Can't; the project manager ate all the crayons
Why is it bad to do on a Friday? Based on your last paragraph, I would have thought Friday is probably the best week day to do it.
Most companies, mine included, try to roll out updates during the middle or start of a week. That way if there are issues the full team is available to address them.
And hence the term read-only Friday.
Or someone selected "env2" instead of "env1" (#cattleNotPets names) and tested in prod by mistake.
Look, it's a gaffe and someone's fired. But it doesn't mean fuck ups are endemic.
Was it not possible for MS to design their safe mode to still “work” when Bitlocker was enabled? Seems strange.
I'm not sure what you'd expect to be able to do in a safe mode with no disk access.
