      Pretty fucking annoying I had to come halfway down the responses to see this.

      Lemmy is becoming like what reddit turned into in 2016, no more top level actual discussion, just memes and shitposts burying the real info.

    I get that legacy support sucks and nobody wants to do it, but the new product is just an ad serving platform under the guise of being an OS. Maybe try to release a good Windows platform before asking people zo switch to that, just a thought I had.

        I don’t understand how so many people are taking “Program with level 0 access shipped faulty code that caused the OS to refuse to boot until a single file is removed” as “Windows bad lmao”. Not that I disagree with Windows bad, just the over liberal application and acting like this is some sort of Linux win.

        Give me kernel level access and I can make anything refuse to boot

      Believe it or not, CrowdStrike’s model forces updates and people pay a lot of money for it to “handle things” for them. I had to deploy it at a previous employer about 8 years ago. It was stupid.

      No one forces you to update. People simply choose to run an OS where automatic updates are the default.
      And that OS also lets you permanently disable automatic updates. It just doesn’t give you a straight-forward GUI option for it.

      Forced updates of an optional corporate anti-virus designed to immediately detect and distribute information on threats should be illegal?

      Or is this just an unrelated comment?

        You really don’t understand how many millions of hours of human effort force updates have destroyed.

        Yes, there should always be, ESPECIALLY IN CORPORATE ENVIRONMENTS, a point where the client can vet and approve the update.

        This recent Crowdstrike problem is proof of it. You LITERALLY witnessed proof as 1/4 of the world basically shut down for the day. This would have been avoided in many cases if the update was vetted by the local IT teams.

          So CrowdStrike shouldn’t allow real time threat protection? That’s what caused the issue. It needs to update its threat library to do deal with any day 1 attacks. It’s one of the main reasons it’s used
