And next time facebook hosts a summit about data privacy.

Or the UN allowing Saudi Arabia to lead the Woman’s Rights forum
The funny part is people still believe the UN represents peace and freedom, instead of the financial interests of the wealthiest countries and oligarchs.
I don’t think you need the slash s there. It’s confusing.
Less concerned about Crowdstrike since it’s not their product.
More concerned about Copilot:

That seems a bit of a non-story given that its prefaced on “once the attacker has access to your work email”. Yes once they have that they can do very good spear phishing attacks using copilot, but they could easily do them without copilot too.
This 3rd party software company fucked up and M$oft get the pressure, so they act like they are responsible.
Even the customers fucked up by using a vital piece of software where they cannot test the updates before rollout.
Right? I wish they’d respond like this when they themselves fuck up.
A third party vendor whose entire business model is predicated on the fact that security is such an afterthought at Microsoft that enterprise customers need to resort to this kind of crap for a bare minimum of security.
🙄 because FOSS never has any serious cve and malicious code.
Never said it didn’t. Doesn’t change the fact that Microsoft is notoriously worse by every metric and because of its position in the market is far more potentially damaging. Almost like if you sell an OS as something that can be trusted to run mission critical applications, you probably shouldn’t phone it in when it comes to securing that OS.
🙄👌👍
Definitely just not easier to use even you don’t want to fuck around in the terminal.
lol tell me you’ve never used linux without telling me you’ve never used linux
Contributor to TF and several CNCF projects. You use my code every day. Different tools different jobs twat.
This is also MS’s fault because they never provided a proper API for security products like MacOS, so they end up having to run them all inside the kernel.
The reason for this omission was to give a competitive advantage to their own security products while also being cheaper.
Didn’t 5h3y just release an update that bricked dual boot installs. Something tells me someone else should be organising this. Someone that actually cares.
Your PC ran into a problem that Microsoft couldn’t handle.
Do as I say, not as I do.
Microsoft didn’t cause the “disaster” though.
They just made the poor decisions that made CrowdStrike required in the first place.
It exists on OSX and Linux too, they just don’t do the thing that took down Windows so they weren’t impacted.
Existing and being necessary are two different things. Linux and MacOS are operating systems. Windows is an ad delivery system that masquerades as an operating system.
Care to specify?
If Windows had better security and update practices, software like CrowdStrike wouldn’t be a necessity.
If windows were absolutely perfect with no flaws whatsoever, CrowdStrike wouldn’t be a necessity. I agree with that.
Unfortunately we live in the real world and no OS is perfect so software like CrowdStrike exists on lots of operating systems.
Btw, Crowdstrike isn’t necessary but it’s very nice to have for companies. You don’t need real time protection like that on a normal client you use at home.
Don’t they have an easily hacked screenshot collecting bit of Bloat/Spyware they’re desperately trying to get everyone to use?
Sounds like something they should talk about in some kind of summit about security
