Just look at what has happened in the last week, some company backed by sources unknown massively shorts the stock of Trump’s media company the day before he was shot and only by the grace of God was not killed.
Today the company at the center of the DNC Hillary Clinton Email server hack in 2016 which was blamed on the Russians is now in 2024 being blamed for rolling out bad software that has created massive IT problems worldwide.
I don’t know about anyone else, but I don’t believe in coincidences.
But let’s just move everything to THUH CLOUD, it’ll be cheaper and faster and better!
My employer is hellbent on the bandwagon to cloud everything that isn’t nailed down, with Amazon Web Services and Microsoft. I’ll have to check my email now that I’m up and see if anything’s broken. Heh.

Maybe it is time for politicians to demand to “claw back” all the ill gotten gains of both Crowdstrike and Microsoft and use that money to fix their buggy software. Think of it as a jobs creation tax package. They can rehire all of the American programmers that were laid off (fired) and replaced by foreigners.
I was reading this while my son was splaining me about it. Weird.
Anyone not in compliance will not be allowed to vote.
Found over at ZeroHedge:
HAIKU
Windows 10 has crashed.
I am the blue screen of death.
No one hears your screams.
Everyone needs to check their System 32 files for Crowdstrike.
This is Y2K if Y2K had actually been Y2K
Same here. Never thought I’d ever see that.
ABSOLUTELY. The very day after Trump accepts the nomination? I’m wondering if this is a dry run as to what might happen on Election Day…..
It almost seems like if one way of keeping Trump out of the White House doesn’t work, they have a list of options. I think we are going to find out just how vulnerable we truly are.
and imagine what’s to come in their ALL ELECTRIC future....if we allow them.
Naw, the rats can cheat, regardless.
“Interesting that BlackRock and Vanguard top off the list of institutional investors of Crowdstrike.”
Not even slightly interesting. Because of the popularity of index funds, the companies that provide the most popular index funds, Vanguard, Blackrock, and State Street are the largest institutional share holders in almost all publicly traded companies.
Here is an update and a solution for those impacted: https://medium.com/asecuritysite-when-bob-met-alice/so-much-for-cloud-resilience-018f09b49c3f
For now, it means the DSC watched last nights 92 minute speech, and are gonna make sure DJT does not return to the Oval office.
I haven’t used this thing in almost a week.
FWIW, this is not a cloud issue. This is a Crowdstrike issue. Crowdstrike is an XDR (AKA antivirus/antimalware). Their code patch/upgrade is causing this.
Microsoft quickly traced the problem to a code update to the CrowdStrike servers. There is a workaround by turning off the loading of Crowdstrike code, but it’s not a job for neophyte computer users.
Yep, didn’t know exactly how it would unfold, thought it might proceed openly and obviously in earnest many times over the last 3 years. Have known all along that it MUST be.
It’s all good though, Trump/MAGA/Republic does in the end return.
Good to be stocked up! Have a full pantry. Be the support for family and friends.
Gonna get pretty bumpy. NCSWIC.
