  1. "Crowdstrike confirmed! ETA 10 seconds" xD

  2. Some do!

  3. Now it is! xD

  4. Do you have something from Crowdstrike installed? I think not ;-)

  5. That's partially true. Having most devices connected to the Internet is pretty dangerous but that disaster could be avoided on so many levels: * Developers of that antivirus SHOULD have a better testing environment. They would catch that bug before millions of PC got that update! * Developers of that antivirus could roll out (upload) that update to some of the clients and not to all of them at the same time. * Companies should not use Windows but Linux. It's more secure by default (but experienced administrator is still a must have!).

  7.  @kelvariw  xD

  8. Or maybe just do snapshots once per week? ;-)

  9. I don't think that ANY Russian company uses (or ever used!) something from CrowdStrike ;-)

  11. Do you have something from Crowdstrike installed? ;-)

  12. Except that wasn't a Windows Update ;-)
    1
  13.  @addydiesel6627  Wasn't it a kernel driver provided by Crowdstrike for their antivirus product? ;-)
    1
  14. Yep! That's VERY strange
    1
  15. A few percent would ;-)
    1
  16. Any Windows machine with antivirus from Crowdstrike. So enterprise ones ;-)
    1
  17. True! On Linux you could unload broken module tho ;-)

  18. Do you have something from Crowdstrike installed? I think no ;-)
    1
  19. It's not for individuals but for big companies ;-)
    1
  20. Except that wasn't a Windows Update at all ;-)
    1
  21. Or worked as intended? ;-)
    1
  22. Is that a real problem or the fact that they didn't tested the update? ;-)
    1
  23. Google "Apple's walled garden" ;-)
    1
  24. Not exactly. Not having anyone with reasonable IT knowledge in a company is bad ;-)
    1
  25. Why your friends use Crowdstrike software? It's VERY expensive for a single user xD
    1
  26. Do you have something from Crowdstrike installed? I don't think so ;-)
    1
  27. Good luck finding cracked Crowdstrike software xD
    1
  28. Yep! I thing it's about familiarity and... lobbying ;-)
    1
  29. Do you have Crowdstrike kernel level driver? ;-)
    1
  30. Do you have something from Crowdstrike installed? I think not ;-)
    1
  31. Microsoft Azure uses Linux tho ;-)
    1
  32. Convenience and... lobbying ;-)
    1
  33. Nah! It's much faster this way! xD
    1
  34. That happened July 19 2024

  35.  @lemonke5341  To have this problem you should have enterprise antivirus from Crowdstrike. Most likely you don't have it ;-)
    1
  36. Do you have something from Crowdstrike installed? I don't think so ;-)
    1
  37.  @SamyarSamyarj  You are most likely don't have that: it's for enterprise and pretty costly ;-)
    1
  38. It's REALLY useful if it's done right ;-)
    1
  39. Do you have Crowdstrike software installed? I think you don't ;-)
    1
  40.  @jamescopeland6802  Yep! A little clickbaity ;-)
    1
  41. Who let that QA in? ;-)
    1
  42. Nope - just delete the broken kernel driver. That's annoying but not that hard
    1
  43. Some do test themselves but most don't. That's additional cost.
    1
  44. Nope ;-) What was QA doing? Did they even test their updates?
    1
  45. He isn't right tho?
    1
  46. Crossing ONE finger will brake it in few places at once ;-)
    1
  47. Not a smart idea for antivirus ;-)
    1
  48. If that was on Linux, that broken kernel module could be easily unloaded.
    1
  49. Cost efficiency. They don't care about anything else.
    1
  50.  @BobbyGeneric145  True! Suits just hope that this would never happen! Until it does! xD
    1
  51. Fair point! The thing is: if that was Linux - you could just disable bugged module and fix the problem pretty fast!
    1
  52. Do you have something from Crowdstrike installed? I don't think so ;-)
    1
  53. Do you have something from Crowdstrike installed? I don't think so ;-)
    1
  54. That wouldn't help in any way - that was an Antivirus update.
    1
  55.  @professormikeoxlong  Windows is not a great system for sure. But that was a Crowdstrike problem, mostly
    1
  56.  @professormikeoxlong  Fair point!
    1
  57. Because you don't have anything from Crowdstrike installed ;-)
    1
  58. True. But on Linux machine you could just unload bricked kernel module ;-)
    1
  59.  @RunePonyRamblings  True!
    1
  60. Google "Windows Update Minitool" - it let's you tweak how and what updates you want to get ;-)
    1
  61. I just don't eat or drink while I'm watching anything ;-)
    1
  62. Yep!
    1
  63. Do you have something from Crowdstrike installed? I don't think so ;-)
    1
  64. Convenience ;-)
    1
  65. Because you don't have anything from Crowdstrike installed ;-)
    1
  66. Those PCs had Antivirus from Crowdstrike installed and it has automated updates.
    1
  67. Good question ;-)
    1
  68. They will get sued and many companies will stop using their software. Most likely.
    1
  69. Sadly, it will not
