Na, nothing. Did an update today. Nothing bad happened at al, Because why would it?
still read “unattended updates” as “unintended updates” …
Windows does both
It doesn’t. It will require you to reboot for every god-damned line of code that has changed.
I swear I heard my PC wake up in the middle of the night on its own several times, back when I used to run W10 on bare metal - god knows what it was doing
Mine would wake up and go into my kitchen and eat my Cheetos and drink half of my vodka.
God, I love Read-only Friday where nothing bad ever happens before the weekend.
Speak for yourself. I am preparing for a high school camp on Monday and all our sound system isn’t working. Stupid proprietary crappy sound boards.

This has happened and taken a bunch of services down around the world.
What a garbage.
Just use Linux, SELinux, strong sandboxing, repositories, nonexecutable home directories, strong access control, offline backups.
How about a testing environment separate from production
and phased rollouts …
Best I can do is push it worldwide on a Friday morning
But how do I integrate everything into Microsoft 365 with that snazzy OneDrive feature? /s
And log monitoring with off machine collections
The SAMBA is sounding real quiet today…
Nothing much, just getting far fewer client emails for some reason…
Just another boring day on Linux huh
Time to go to BSD!!
I’ve found it funny how many people think they need to defend windows by saying " this could’ve happened to Linux too!!"
Okay, sure. Yeah you’re right about Linux being just as insecure as windows too 😉
Something similar did happen on Linux clients with CrowdStrike installed not too long ago lol
To those many Linux users who took a look at their circumstances and said “I definitely need antivirus software!”
CrowdStrike does more than anti-virus and yes enterprise Linux installations need a lot of security controls that average Linux users don’t need.
Ok fine simps, Linux is exactly as shitty as windows this was totally only a coincidence
I think people are missing the point here. The biggest problem was not that the update was bricking the machines, that could’ve happened to Linux/macOS/BSD etc. The problem is that the solution to the problem is to MANUALLY access the machine, get into safe mode and type some commands. This is insane. And you should be able to EASILY disable automatic updates for apps like that on Windows Server.
Yeah but 14th Gen Intel CPUs are still failing regardless of your OS.
Just kind of pondering my key combinations in tmux, vim, etc. I’ve started using “layers” and “combo keys” in my keyboard layout and it’s really showing me what’s possible
Powerful combo, mastering shortcut keys opens up a whole realm of relaxed posture. Mouse is effective but weak in comparison to efficiency of the keyboard at least when editing text files.
