    Have they tried turning it off and on again? ffs tell me they at least did that.

    Cheers to the employees that found out they where getting laid off and put a bad line of code in the update.

    The secret service couldn’t get into their email 😑
  • @viviorko
    To be fair, Spirit Airlines are used to that happening

    This a MAJOR snafu. Sounds like Crowdstrike did not fully test out their patch before they posted it online to be downloaded. (And by the way it not just airlines, banks, emergency services which are being impacted. So are supermarkets, at least some of which are unable to process credit care transactions and are therefore requiring their clientele to use cash only.) If this has a financial impact on impacted companies, expect lawsuits down the track.

    Linux > Microsoft , my Linux system is running great.

    LESSON LEARNED: Don't send software research/development/testing to India.
  • I use Windows and there's not a scratch on mine, as I do not use CrowdStrike, rather McAfee.

    We just have too big a reliance on Microsoft and its partners.
  • @Bigleybig
    Sad thing is we cant really believe the cause they state is even true
  • @user-rv7zz2to8w
    The amount of people who have no idea what crowdstrike really is will have no clue what is going on. Those that know, know.🤭
