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.

    The reason Windows gets attacked so much to begin with is because of its market share, not necessarily how vulnerable it is. If you want to cast as wide a net as possible while wasting as little effort as possible, why the fuck would you target the lesser used OSes? In the same vein, why would you invest so much in protecting OSes that aren’t as big of targets as Windows? Your comment sounds as ill informed as those people that think Macs can’t get viruses.

      It’s well known that windows is chocked full of security issues and ALWAYS has been. Never once implied other OSes are perfect, just better. You sound ill informed yourself, and simping for a corporation

          My guess would be you have instincts opposite reality

          Given that I’m not even close to that, and it has zero relationship to talking about how shitty windows is.
