Seeing Linus doing TechLinked is like hearing "We interrupt this broadcast"

[notenoughmonkeys]

Crowdstrike: "Don't worry, wasn't a Cyber Attack, just incompetence, you can still trust us with your security"... Great, where do I sign up?

Cybercriminals: *attempt to hijack and take down computers around the world*
CrowdStrike: hold my virtual beer

I was at tractor supply and the computer ringing me up blue screened, there were no employees nearby so I just hit restart then watched it happen again. Then I googled and realised the world was on fire lmaoo

"Let's give remote kernel level access to our critical systems to one proprietary non-transparent company as our security"
- the entire world apparently 🤦🏻‍♂️

Don't push code to production on Fridays, RIP techies needing to manually fix each and every computer.

This is practically what people in the year 1999 thought Y2K was

[A_ARAFAT]

Crowdstrike sure lived up to their name.

[donloder]

telling people not to worry just cuz it wasn't a cyber attack is peak corporate bros undermine

[JoeNasr]

This is what happens when corporations become too large and control 90% of their markets.

[MakeWeirdMusic]

Malware hackers are jealous of Crowdstrike’s official channels.

9 years ago I made an oopsie that resulted in 800 people twiddling their thumbs for a whole morning. I still dream about that.

Centralizing everything is convenient until something goes wrong

I died at "Linux users feeling empathy for Windows users." 😂

I work in finance IT. I had customers asking if we were affected by the M365/Azure outage that happened in real time. Turns out its all Crowdstrike related as even Microsoft uses them. It scares me more what a bad software update can do because all the chaos can lead to bad actors getting in while the world is most vulnerable. It goes to show that Crowdstrike is too big for our own good and too many companies rely on them. This outage will cause many companies to change threat prevention companies. Will Crowdstrike survive this? Not sure, considering they caused the world to almost pause for a day.

I work overnights in a Data Center in Downtown LA. I came in last night and everything was on fire. Even our NOC Laptops and Compute Sticks that run the TVs with the Network Monitoring were Bluescreening.

Fun night 😅

[PendragonDaGreat]

I wish the headlines would put proper blame on Crowdstrike, almost all of tehm paint it as a "Microsoft/Windows did this" and not "Crowdstrike brought down Windows Machines through incompetence"

[ventilate]

Holy crap, I forgot Linus used to do techlinked. I don't think we've seen him here in nearly 19 months?

[strangegamerc]

I flew across the US today. Singlehandedly the most dystopian thing I have ever seen. Hundreds of people sleeping in the airport all day, waiting for their flight that takes off in the next days. I am very grateful to be home only 6 hours late.
