You can starve someone to near death, and they can still technically be alive. IT doesn't make it a good idea.

Unfortunately I have one of those bosses that has internalized the 'do more with less' doctrine from leadership and it's becoming an issue. You don't do more with less, you just do less.

Bravo!

I sure hope Starliner's Crowdstrike update went well

The Twitter #Crowdstrike tag is full of people blaming this on their DEI initiatives and the fact they're VC funded by a company that featured the Trump gunman. What the *hell* happened to that place.

I really hate SM generally, but on a really shit day I have to say the Fedi has been great.

The Riker Googling account brings me so much simple joy, it is just so on-target every time.

For all the talk of AI replacing everything, today proves the value of a solid technical support person that can leg it around the building getting things done. The least fashionable role in IT was the most important. The worker.

Oh and the behavior of Bitlocker FDE is absolutely delightful in this scenario #crowdstrike

I would add to what @GossiTheDog said about some professional responses to what happened today. "De-enterprising" is not a useful or helpful sentiment. Many of us simply do not live in that world. There are many reasons from insurance to legal liability that obligate proprietary solutions. It's not ideal, but neither is the world generally. Windows is a professional reality, so is EPDR. They're not going anywhere, we just have to learn what we can.

The worst thing about today is having to spend so much time in Windows and if you know me at all you know how much I hate it. It's just not my strong suit, but there's too few of us for me to be picky.

Monday will bring the memes, Tuesday will bring the lawsuits #Crowdstrike
