Paying bills is over rated.

Wonder how crowdstrike is going to recover from this mistake ?
I'm pretty sure there are still ways to prevent Windows updates from happening automatically, either with update settings or more extreme ways such as changing a setting in the registry, disabling a service, etc..
Paying bills is over rated.most of it is up now [on my end], so i hope they get paid.

Glad personal machine is linux. Unfortunately, crowdstrike has their
hands everywhere. We have been by problems with falcon sensor on linux
vms before.

Maybe they'll blame it on Trump???
My company certainly prevents it on their little putrid PC box that I am forced to use until they are ready to push it to me...
But I would not wish THAT OS image on anybody...

I'm sure they will. I can't see why they wouldn't get paid.
I was trying to schedule a block of time to install Crowdstrike on 100+ linux hosts at the behest of our infosec department. I think now I can truthfully say I'm waiting upon further review before proceeding.

What I find odd is that I see a lot of people saying the issue yesterday was a Windows problem, when from what I've heard, the issue was with the CrowdStrike software.

Unless you are an admin on your work PC, keeping it turned off (or unplugging the network cable) may be your only way of preventing auto updates.

I did have a weird thing where i went to mcdonalds weeks ago.
this morning at 4am i got like 10+ charges on my citibank card but it
was all dropped.
then i see someone online complaining about a vending machine charging them 300 bucks on that night.

oh now i have past due warnings for 2 cards that i scheduled payments
for. and the live chat says they can't pull up my informaton and i
should call instead.
Maybe your bank caught it and automaticaly reversed charges? I've
had that happen. During covid I got gas at a station I don't normally use and thenext day the bank called me to ask if I was currently traveling.
All charges were reversed after my gas purchase which I verified as being me.

Why's that? Did they customize it some way?
It's probably not cut n dry just a crowdstrike cause.
The issue was Microsoft Windows granting CrowdStrike software privileges enough to crash your stuff.But thats not Microsoft granting CrowdStrike the privilege, its the IT deparements who installed CrowdStrike on their PCs.
i just got off online chat and they said to ignore it.

Or do you want Microsoft to decide what boot-start drivers people should
be allowed to install, and thus Microsoft to dictate what you can and cant do with your PC?
the CS Falcon issue only affected Windows hosts.

See? Probably all a part of the amazon downtime and or
the whozitwhatzit upgrade thingie. ;)
You can argue how important the CS boot-start is, however the
reality is that it is *not* important enough to prevent booting
into the OS. Maybe it should revert to safe mode with CS
sandboxed or whatever, but life needs to continue so that the
issue can be addressed. MS handling of this fault most
certainly is *not* optimal. CS is only one of many "important"
services in these systems.

Ugh. Moving sucks, I don't know anyone who likes that. Hope the
problems piss off and you can get moved smooth man. No one
deserves a bad move.

Get the extra insurance and be like Sienfield.

So, do you just not understand how to quote some context from the

In this case I am pretty sure he means the Crowdstrike issue.
I am not certain that it was a test run but I am sure it gave some bad actors some bad ideas, if they didn't already have them.
they make you get insurance or they fine you to infinity if their
piece of shit truck is damaged or if you have problems.

I remember years ago my Daughter was moving and asked me
to rent the truck and add someone else as the driver as I was
going to be out of town. She was so mad at me when I said
I would do it but she had to pay for the extra insurance.
Two days later she phoned me to let me know they returned
the truck and the other guy had in fact backed it into a tree.
That was the day she decided I wasn't a complete idiot and
thanked me for making her pay for insurance.
(At the time she didn't have a drivers license or credit card
which is why I had to rent it for them and add a secondary
driver)
well it's sort of a scam. rental cars and uhauls are already insured by the company. they then tack on extra fees and say you need to buy insurance.

That sucks, but then a lot of renters are scumbags themselves who deserve the distrust they get from the companies.
Here they tipically make you leave a deposit and pay in advance before you get the vehicle, but last times I have asked for a rental vehicle they just told me to not bother with the deposit because "it is not worth it with regular people." :-P

i'm already paying a LOT in rental fees.

Very low. I think around 300-500 EUR when renting a 14m¡ van.

so since you say deposit, do they get it back?
or is that the rental cost.
