I occasionally write long posts but you should assume I'm talking out of my ass until proved otherwise. I do like writing shit sometimes.
50/50 chance of suit pictures end up here or on the Art Directory account. Good luck.
Be 18+ or be gone you kids act fuckin' weird.

So getting close to 24 hours in now and, wow, this really is the biggest computer related outage ever, isn't it? We've never really had things fail at this scale before huh? Impressive!
Also I would be amazed if microsoft does not sue the shit out of crowdstrike for, basically, making them look bad. A lot of people just assume microsoft fucked something up (for good reason).
Unprecedented times
It (windows) has been put in a lot of places it really maybe shouldn't be, and is on an ancient filesystem with no snapshotting support for say, auto rolling back horrible updates. It also lets people write terrible drivers and just fuck the kernel up for fun and profit.
But, as much as I love to trash on windows, crowdstrike did do the fucky wucky here. They even did this with Linux a few months back, I've learned, except it was linux so the fix was easier and also no one listened to the Linux users complaining about it.

It's not even surprising that this is a repeat problem from them. I've been hearing "move fast and break things" parroted by every tech PM of every startup I've either worked for or had to listen to at a conference. Sometimes it feels like the industry forgot that "breaking things" is bad and has consequences
news outlets reporting this as a Windows problem/outage is really fucking annoying because it means I have to cape for Micro$haft
