    I’m sure CrowdStrike is absolutely prepared to admit they fucked up. What’s the point of this?

    Will we be bringing in every CTO/CIO that decided to implement CrowdStrike for a congressional hearing as well?

    How about every CEO or board member that voted to hire the CTO that decided to implement CrowdStrike…?

      There is no point. They drag the social media CEOs in front of congress regularly, give them a stern talking-to, and then it’s back to business as usual.

    Okay, so just a sec, yes, the crowdstrike thing was a BIG fucking deal… But what is wild to me is how it’s seemingly being unmentioned that the world crashed bc… Windows crashed… So maybe it’s a wake up call that ONE fucking OS shouldn’t be the GLOBAL standard. I dunno tho.

      It wasn’t the whole world. Our business went on just fine without any issues and we were running Windows too. And the thing about that is you have a lot of people pushing for a homogeneous culture on Linux, not realizing that 1) crowdstrike was crashing Linux systems a couple months ago and 2) if it were to become the dominant system we could see things happen that way too.

      So I’m kinda curious, what would you suggest?

        Running windows with crowdstrike? Or just running windows in general? Kind of a big distinction since we are talking about a kernel level flaw. Also one personal experience doesn’t invalidate how wide spread the issue was.

        I haven’t had time to come up with a solution my dude. I don’t. Even have a suggestion. I’m just putting it out there.

      I simultaneously hear from people that the Internet runs on Linux and also everything in the world runs on windows
