    Small corrections: Most antivirus programs have kernel access, but running (allegedly) untested code at this level is not common.
    CrowdStrike Falcon Sensor is mostly business software, but can be used for those who work from home with company issued devices.

  2. I barely knew this was happening as I was on a vacation trip, on July 22 I saw a Display in a shopping center in germany that showed that windows couldn't be loaded correctly in german, I laughed about it but didnt know that crowdstrike was likely the cause of it

  3. You're dabbling in the area you don't fully understand. I am sorry to inform you, but you completely misunderstood what "over the air updates" mean, as opposed to non-over the air. There are more very questionable and weird phrases you used, such as "operates at binary level". Try not to go so far beyond your area of expertese.

  4. Yah,no… Y2K was fake money grab. I work in IT probably longer than the host walk the Earth 🤷‍♂️
    Worst case scenario it would cause minor Inconveniences, it won't make airplanes fall of the sky or trains to crash like it was portrayed. On the other hand, bunch of companies have made a fortune on the Y2K scare… Most computers in the 90's were already Y2K compliant 🤷‍♂️

  5. if we as a species survive the water wars i hope generations from now we will have much more robust internet infrastructure. the house of cards is a solvable problem, i hope we get there

  6. Microsoft wanted to lockdown access to kernel a while back but symantec and Macafee filed anti-trust against Microsoft… and now we have this issue!!!

    Microsoft wants make Windows more secure but the anti-trust crap is preventing it!

  7. imagine going to the hospital saying they cant operate on you, and your like, my linux or USB (so can delete the file) is all the way at home i diddent know had to bring that!

  8. that is why automattic FORCED updates are TERRABLE. im glad i used the wired blocker thing but would like to know how to maily install updates i want, forced updates are for CONTROL they DO NOT care! and yes i seen windows ITSELF brick itself on forced updates not just the cloud strike.

  9. just because something has a certificate doesn't mean it's safe. They pay for a certificate, there is not much testing.
    What happened to the days, where people were aware of rootkits and didn't install stuff, which run on the kernel level?

  10. I work for a public utility with over 14000 employees. Since I am nothing more than a truck mechanic for the company, I am about as low on the totum pole as a person can get. Even after 38 years of working there, few know I even exist. Most of my IT equipment that I use for ordering parts and scheduling maintenance on the trucks is so outdated, hell I still have a fax machine in my office. I kind of like this low key job. They can't lay me off if they don't know me.

    Guess whose computer was NOT affected by this global outage? When I came to work that morning it was business as usual for me😂
