CrowdStrike effectively bricked windows, Mac and Linux today.
Windows machines won’t boot, and Mac and Linux work is abandoned because all their users are on twitter making memes.
Incredible work.

Incredible work.
It was a kernel module, there’s nothing Microsoft could have done
Except not make an OS so shitty and vulnerable that it needs millions of hours and billions of dollars pumped into keeping it from being hacked in a split second. But yes nothing besides that one minor thing.
Companies use the same software on Linux and Mac systems, and it’s a kernel module there as well; this could have happened to any OS that companies are using it on, it just happened to happen on Windows.
Giving kernel access to outside software is always a risk; these companies chose to take that risk
They make plastic pocket protectors too but that doesn’t mean we need to use them. Sounds you missed my point
