Comment on CrowdStrike Update Causes Global Microsoft Outage Affecting Banks, Airlines And More
CalcProgrammer1@lemmy.ml 3 months agoWho knew that allowing, no, PAYING third parties to inject whatever the fuck they want encrypted proprietary binary blobs into the highest privilege and most dangerous level of your operating system without any user acknowledgement or third party code review could possibly have negative consequences?
This is also why we shouldn’t be allowing kernel anticheat games on our PCs by the way. One day Crowdstrike, the next day it could be Riot Vanguard. Proprietary shitware has no place in your kernel (though in Windows’ case the entire kernel itself is proprietary, maybe do something about that next).

They can take down people’s computer though?
