The problem isn't Windows. It's a bit of software that was unintentionally malicious (which generally means that guidelines were not followed.)Using windows for anything mission critical? Not me.
And that bit of software runs on windows.The problem isn't Windows. It's a bit of software that was unintentionally malicious (which generally means that guidelines were not followed.)

No, it's like saying planes that don't have a gtn650 aren't affected by the software bug in the gtn650.That’s like saying a plane is broken because the Garmin gtn650 in it has a software bug.

The advent of the Internet and having "everything tied to it" has been a primary driver in global economic growth for about 30 years now. You'd be living in a very different world without it, so be careful what you wish for.The craziest thing is, stuff like this happens and people still think everything should be tied to the internet and computerized even though it's practically impossible to have a working back-up plan for if it all goes down.
As I haven’t worn a pager since high school (thank gawd) I had no clue what was this thread was about. Ah. AA, UA and DL all asked for a ground stop. Ouch. https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/com...haos-with-airline-bank-and-other-disruptions/
Been sitting at a DFW airport hotel since early last night due to this. We are rebooked for an attempt later this morning that’s already had two “delays” communicated to us.… anyone else impacted and get paged at 3am?
The good news is the mandatory BCP exercise that was going to cut my boating short this weekend is now postponed. Yay for Crowdstrike!
This weekend I'll have a bunch of college kids out with me. I know your position on boating with such a crowd. Looks like your only going to get as close as another low passlol funny, I thought you said “our” boating time
The problem isn’t the screen door, the problem is thinking the screen door provides infrastructure supporting securityThe problem isn't Windows. It's a bit of software that was unintentionally malicious (which generally means that guidelines were not followed.)
Pretty much every other gate monitor I’ve seen today.

SMS/Text alerts are doing a good job communicating real time gate info. Gate agents are having to manually resolve some double booked re-bookings; AA is offering some travel credit for those who will pro-actively rebook.
DFW itself is reporting delays, but it’s clear and a million, so weather ain’t the cause if you were wondering.
Sorry, all the taps are down. Bottle service onlyBut are the airport bars open?
I called you as soon as I got your page, man.lol don’t know why I said paged when I got a phone call.
But are the airport bars open?
Not sure any of those are actual computers though. Maybe the second one from the left.My bank isn't affected because we're still running these:

Yeah but when you go in everything is now 2-3 days behind and its YOUR problem to fix it.It’s nice to be off from work when meltdowns like this happen.
Still not my problem in my line of work lolYeah but when you go in everything is now 2-3 days behind and its YOUR problem to fix it.
If Windows wasn't such a hacker's paradise maybe it would not need add-on security software.The problem isn't Windows. It's a bit of software that was unintentionally malicious (which generally means that guidelines were not followed.)
But is it a hacker's paradise precisely due to its massive user base and wide number of variants/versions?If Windows wasn't such a hacker's paradise maybe it would not need add-on security software.
Do public-facing Linux systems not also need add-on security software?there's a difference between a being a hacker's paradise because of the size of the user base (and the naivete/stupidity of said base) and being a hacker's paradise because of the relative ease of penetration.
I recognize that disk drive! I have a platter I show in my intro to computer science class. Also have mag tapes, too. Tossed allthe punch cards years ago.My bank isn't affected because we're still running these:

Not in my experience. In 20+ years I've never had one broken into, either personally or at work - and my workplaces were fairly high profile targets (financial institutions).Do public-facing Linux systems not also need add-on security software?
I don't have any punch cards, but I still have a really old punch tape. Preserved coiled in a 35 mm film canister which is also now utterly ancient.I recognize that disk drive!
