CrowdStrike issue also with Linux

[Pete]

Ah, speaking of CrowdStrike, too bad that bit about Southwest using Windows 3.1 was actually fake news.

Bottom line is, yes, Southwest use some software that's "just about as old as" Windows 3.1, but more to the point, Southwest simply doesn't use CrowdStrike!!

I mean, let's imagine that some ubiquitous enterprise software, something like McAfee Enterprise, or of course Windows, or even Linux in infrastructure systems, were to distribute a faulty update. Same thing could easily happen.

For all the fuss this created, seems hard to believe that the vulnerabilities were unknown by the Great Unwashed Masses.

The answer is, people with important jobs like that need to be obsessive about their work, confound it.

Screw SouthWest Airlines. I took a flight out one day, and the next day I was unable to return home, because the airport they dropped me off at didn't have a NorthEast Airlines flying out of it! I got so sick of eating pineapples, I swam all the way back... with my golf clubs in my teeth!
