Comment on An angry admin shares the CrowdStrike outage experience
TonyOstrich@lemmy.world 3 months agoI kinda wish my employer would do something like this for our current applications. Right before I started working there they switched from giving engineers desktops to laptops (work station laptops but still). There are some advantages to having a laptop like being able to work from home or use it in a meeting, but I would much prefer the extra power from a desktop. In mind the best of both worlds would be to have a relatively cheap laptop that basically acts as a thin client so that I can RDP into a dedicated server or workstation for my engineering applications. But what do I know ¯_(ツ)_/¯

It was a pain in the ass more often than not. If the application server was having trouble the entire department was at a standstill.
And getting config files, licence files, log files and the like in and out of the system was a long convoluted process.
We often joked that we were so secure that our hands were tied.
