Na, nothing. Did an update today. Nothing bad happened at al, Because why would it?
still read “unattended updates” as “unintended updates” …
Windows does both
It doesn't. It will require you to reboot for every god-damned line of code that has changed.
Only when you actually want it to reboot on its own
When you don't want that, need it to wait for some reason, that's when it remembers how to reboot on its own
I swear I heard my PC wake up in the middle of the night on its own several times, back when I used to run W10 on bare metal - god knows what it was doing
Mine would wake up and go into my kitchen and eat my Cheetos and drink half of my vodka.
Firefox kept crashing because of explicit sync. Nothing new for an nvidia user such as myself. Still never going back to xorg.
God, I love Read-only Friday where nothing bad ever happens before the weekend.
Speak for yourself. I am preparing for a high school camp on Monday and all our sound system isn't working. Stupid proprietary crappy sound boards.
Bless your heart.
Just another boring day on Linux huh
Time to go to BSD!!
Someone should create a distro called FreeBSOD
FreeOfBSOD
I've found it funny how many people think they need to defend windows by saying " this could've happened to Linux too!!"
Okay, sure. Yeah you're right about Linux being just as insecure as windows too 😉
Something similar did happen on Linux clients with CrowdStrike installed not too long ago lol
Sounds a bit like its a bad idea to install CrowdStrike regardless of the system 🙃
lol yeah that’s a glowing review.
“Oh, we can fuck other shit up too!”
checkbox compliance – companies are required to have something in place that checks the box so they can pass the audit
To those many Linux users who took a look at their circumstances and said "I definitely need antivirus software!"
CrowdStrike does more than anti-virus and yes enterprise Linux installations need a lot of security controls that average Linux users don't need.
I think people are missing the point here. The biggest problem was not that the update was bricking the machines, that could've happened to Linux/macOS/BSD etc. The problem is that the solution to the problem is to MANUALLY access the machine, get into safe mode and type some commands. This is insane. And you should be able to EASILY disable automatic updates for apps like that on Windows Server.
I dunno, I'd say them deploying an update that bricked machines at the scale they did shows they didn't test it very well at smaller scales. They could have even still used their users as beta testers, just needed to do a subset of them first.
Yeah but 14th Gen Intel CPUs are still failing regardless of your OS.
Nothing much, just getting far fewer client emails for some reason...
The SAMBA is sounding real quiet today...

This has happened and taken a bunch of services down around the world.
What a garbage.
Just use Linux, SELinux, strong sandboxing, repositories, nonexecutable home directories, strong access control, offline backups.
How about a testing environment separate from production
and phased rollouts …
And my axe
I watched a ocean of computers go dead on the floor because I couldn't convince the sysadmin to do exactly that when pushing a major change.
Best I can do is push it worldwide on a Friday morning
But how do I integrate everything into Microsoft 365 with that snazzy OneDrive feature? /s
Pretty sure it's happened in Linux before, but because it's much less users, obviously it won't have same global outage like what happens now
I’ve been driving Linux as my main for just about a month now and I didn’t think anything of it until I booted into Windows and had to deal with forced updates. Almost Done? JFC.
Not the official account, but still funny.
Just kind of pondering my key combinations in tmux, vim, etc. I've started using "layers" and "combo keys" in my keyboard layout and it's really showing me what's possible
Hint: :q!
