Lol, this is their website:

Your business can be brought down even faster than 62 minutes if you let Crowdstrike help!!!

[Lob12]

Well if all servers are down, can’t get your data stolen, right?

[Jam]

Damn it!

I can’t adjust the temperature in the pool this morning using the Hayward App.

What am I supposed to do now???

Must I walk out back to the pool panel and make manual adjustments?

It was a CRS update patch that caused this.

If it burns down social media. Trump won’t let that happen. He needs to piper his sheep

It’s pretty staggering in retrospect that all these big companies with all this critical infrastructure just lets some third party yahoos push (self-evidentally) untested code directly to their devices without so much as testing the impact themselves first.

There’s stories over on Hacker News about Crowdstrike being responsible for the same thing in March of this year of except that time was Debian servers affected, only brought down a handful of obscure services, so didn’t it get any press.

luckily for crowdstrike, with all the outages, its harder to short their stock … 9d chess.

Maybe don’t use Microsoft for critical infrastructure? The world has gone crazy.

Jurassic Park used Unix. And everyone died.

It's a Unix system

Let’s also not forget how much work Microsoft has done with Linux over the past decade. If i’m not mistaken they’re in the top 5 commiters to the Linux kernel. I may be recalling the article wrong but under Balmer’s leadership, Microsoft was trying to kill Linux. Under Nadella though, they shifted to adoption and cooperation.

A decision that has been good for everyone fwiw.

A bit bitter about that Christmas meltdown beating I see.

But I do love the Texan no fucks given when it comes out.

Microsoft Recommends Rebooting Your Computer 15 Times as Blue Screen of Death Strikes Worldwide

As the world is still reeling from a massive IT outage triggered by an antivirus update, Microsoft recommends rebooting up to 15 times.

[A Former User]

Reboot 15 times? That’s like, what, 3 windows updates? No problem.

(I just booted up windows for the first time in months tonight and got a truckload of updates. Fuck that shit is primitive.)
