A similar issue was reported in 2010 when a defective update from McAfee, known as "DAT" file version 5958, triggered a worldwide shutdown of Windows XP PCs.

George Kurtz, co-founder and CEO of CrowdStrike, who is at the center of this current issue, was also the CTO of McAfee during its notorious 2010 glitch with Windows XP.
This connection further intensifies concerns over the recurring nature of such critical technical failures under his leadership.

Elon has the solution - remove CrowdStrike software from all computers.
It's rubbish.

You don't know what you're talking about Bobby, and what Elon does or doesn't do is irrelevant.

This isn't his area of expertise either.

Just look at what he's done to twitter.

I read about it last night.
CrowdStrike sends out 2 to 3 automatic updates every day.
It's obvious they don't test their software updates properly.
Elon is right - find a better software package.

You're not an expert, even an armchair expert, because you read something last night.

We need more information before making any claims, especially as ignorant as yours.

It really doesn't show. Most of your technology takes are horseshit.

Like what?

I'm so old that the first coding I did was in Fortran.
The next was Basic using a desktop back in the late 1970s.
The micro I learnt was the Intel 8085 - at Uni - I passed well -
I still have my SDK8085 development kit from then.
I did many applications and wrote my own assembly language.
I was one of the first people to go on the internet with an 80286 back in the early 90s.
It would take 5 minutes to load the home page of CNN so I didn't bother with it.
I must have done 1000s of firmware upgrades in my life.

My only failing is that I haven't worked with servers except to reboot them -
so I'm not an IT professional.

You think that having Windows OS and Norton anti-virus on your home computer is a good idea.

90% of the world uses Windows and - Norton is the most powerful anti-virus software.
