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

Enjoy your Friday folks, what's left of it, wherever you are.

Well that has been a very trying day. It started with an all hands call at 0700 and did not stop

Perhaps we should try changing SCE to Aux

Days like this I have ideas about just buying a boat

There is another quite insidious side to things like #Crowdstrike. Faith in their effectiveness tends to lead to complacency. We've already seen one example of this.

In a development of sheer brilliance, people can't create tickets from their work issued laptops because they're fucked #Crowdstrike

If a stay puft marshmallow man puts in an appearance on Fifth today that would round off this month nicely

When Clive Owen's character in The Bourne Identity dies he says "LOOK WHAT THEY MAKE YOU GIVE" and I feel like that every time I get fucked by proprietary software
