Skynet is aware now 💀

Oh, please. The software update wasn't tested fully before release, and that's due to CrowdStrike's incompetence.
-
Cashless society ? Hell no !
-
And they are constantly pushing for a cashless society? Yeah, good one!

Dude’s there nervously smiling while “explaining” the world literally crashing 😂

Crowdstrike is the kind of bloated monolithic software that is a magnet for BSODs. On Linux, software like this is split into multiple dependencies and packages that are installed separately, but all at once. Linux should be the operating system for government and enterprise.
-
This is CrowdStrike, not Microsoft. CrowdStrike runs a new Generative AI Based cybersecurity system called Falcon. This is the first Global incident of how AI can and will completely control us.

The expert is not very expert.... only systems that run CrowdStrike Falcon were affected. There are plenty of MicroSoft systems that don't run CrowdStrike Falcon and so were unaffected. Also, there are many non MicroSoft systems out there - which were not affected. Thus, we are not reliant on one system. However, that said, there does appear to be many systems running CrowdStrike Falcon... my company has only recently moved over to it - we used to have Kaspersky but, well, you know....
-
Crowdstrike has not followed good IT practice by not deploying a phased or staggered update. This is all by design....
-
Its OK guys. Just put all your faith in these systems and all of your personal data online. Nothing can go wrong.

I got a feeling that Apple stock go up and the Microsoft stock would go down

"Now been dubbed" as an IT professional I find this hilarious😅

I read half an article and can explain it better than their expert. This crowstrike antivirus installs a driver on the machine so that it has kernel level privilages. This driver got updated to a faulty one. Unlike regular applications which if they crash it's only themselves that suffer, drivers that crash take down the whole operating system. To fix the issue you need to boot to safemode where only the essential drivers load, and delete the problematic driver file

Linux are us. Never seen a blue screen that wasn't Arch wallpaper.
-
Did they try turning it off and on again?
-
Crowdstrike is dead now. They will have to pay compensation. It will be in billions.
-
Microsoft should compensate affected companies, airports and hospitals around the world. As for whether it is CrowdSteike's problem, that is a problem between the two companies.

Corporate workers Right now: 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Might want to change the title before Microsoft sues for slander and defamation !
-
I am a Systems Engineer and I know how important it is to TEST software before release. Did CrowdStrike test this software before they released it on the WORLD? NO, and now the WORLD is testing the software for them!
