How did that work out on Friday afternoon?

Very bad if you had Windows and the 3rd party app from CrowdStrike loaded. Embarrassed

Windows is junk.

CrowdStrike caused it - not Windows. Roll Eyes

Windows is highly susceptible to things like that, and viruses.

It's junk.

I'll keep using my Chrome OS, with a smug look on my face (and no viruses).

No operating system you can buy is bullet proof -
there is no redundancy.

The same happened when Optus went down -
they had no redundancy either.
Was Optus using Windows?

Crowdstrike has also taken out Linux servers in the past and it has nothing to do with your fanboi ChromeOS fixation, servers don't run on ChromeOS.

You show the same fanboi fanatacism with IT as you do with politics. Not a good look.

Stay smug now, y'hear! Roll Eyes

Yes - I don't have server knowledge.

That's why we need you.

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.

Indeed.

And it just keeps getting worse.

Quote:

Now that multi-hyphenate billionaire Elon Musk has fully outed himself as a Trump fanboy, it didn't take long for his online echo chamber X-formerly-Twitter to turn into a MAGA-infested enclave.

In a new and beyond-parody move, the social media network has now added unremovable Trump 2024 hashtags on top of the trending list, campaign ads on the Explore tab, and cascading American flags when you click one of the hashtags.

Quote:

Instead of trying to provide a "digital town square" for all, as Musk promised prior to his acquisition of Twitter in 2022, he's now fully leaned into using the platform to promote his own polarizing worldview.

In short, Musk has given up on impartiality — and the latest move bookends his years-long descent into right-wing nutcase conspiracy theories, racist tendencies, and generalized bigotry, all of which have found a place to flourish on the platform once known as Twitter.

Even though I post "Tweets" or "X's" quite often - especially in the Coronavirus section, I'm glad I don't have an X account... and I plan on NEVER having one. Especially while Elon Musk owns it.

I have a twitter account, it is fine in the area I concentrate on. Have not noticed any of that idiotic Trump mania.

I facebook friended some girl that claimed to be from the same town as I. When I checked her friends list, I noticed that it was almost exclusively males. I unfriended her straight away. I noticed that my computer was struggling to work for a while until I did an antivirus scan. It was just a minor malware problem.

It turned out that the lady was a real person from my town. But, people had hijacked her profile and used it against the locals, to... dox... people.
