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.

    This is very popular software.

    if that’s a “good” argument for you, then i’ve already heared that, and it nearly never really fits. here is another one for you that is an argument as generic as yours: “maybe try eating poo, trillions of flies cannot be wrong, poo is VERY popular food, much more popular than any human food !!! (as in mass per day as well as in its number of consumers)”

      I wasn’t making a case for adopting this software. Just pointing out that it is widely used, which is why it had such a wide effect.

      I think you’ll find most corporations would jump off a bridge if they saw their competitors jump.

        and yes, every company running an alltime-ever-in-news-due-to-critical-exploitable-bugs-in-the-mailclient already IS in freefall after that said jump.
