Didn’t it fuck up Linux in an Enterprise env as well though?
This would’ve been me if I didn’t work in IT
Does windows not have any reliable filesystem snapshot capabilities? Because as soon as I learned about this whole thing my first thought was just that it would be easy to fix just rollback to the snapshot before the update
Not to mention the patch being applied was being applied at boot, so rollback > patch > crash; repeat
Wait did they not stop serving the broken release to clients even after they realized the problem? I guess I wouldn’t be surprised but wow that’s worse than I expected
AFAIK it already did happen to Linux, it’s just not as widespread (both Crowdstrike on Linux, and desktop Linux).
It’s only funny because it’s a blue screen(a very windows thing). Imagine what this will be like when a game inevitably pushes a bad kernel level anti cheat update.
When such day comes, I hope prolitariat gamers will unite and push back against kernel-level bullshit
I think a lot of people will have a bad day. Some will swear off PC gaming altogether and switch to console, others might look towards Linux thanks to a friend or a helpful individual online, and a small minority will understand the problem and actively avoid the companies that caused the problem.
It probably won’t affect sales of the company involved too much sadly unless everyone point their fingers at the company in the news.
When the gamers rose up they elected Trump, I wouldn’t hold out hopes for anti-capitalist action.
