A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Microsoft is an insecure monopolistic grift. Hopefully it takes down capitalism with it.

I don't disagree, but today the blame lies with CrowdStrike, not Windows. As much as I hate defending Windows.

I've seen a weird number of people blaming Microsoft for this today, and an even weirder number of people making fun of people saying this isn't on Microsoft

Microsoft chose to work with these people and accepted their faulty input. How is it not Microsoft's fault?
