Mouser in the movies
« on: July 25, 2024, 03:09 AM »
Watching "Free Guy" and noticed one of the characters is named Mouser.
I couldn't resist breaking the rust off of my login to comment. 😁😁

I hope everyone is still doing awesome, I love seeing a non Windows section, especially after the crowdstrike fiasco. Yes, I know it wasn't a Windows specific failure. It does speak to the fact that Windows is unfortunately the primary target for development.

So you'd want to see a section with Plan 9 failures? Would be a short list.  :D

Most of my applications are multi-platform-compatible, I (personally) don't see a Windows-specific section here. Which one would that be?
I bet when Cheetahs race and one of them cheats, the other one goes "Man, you're such a Cheetah!" and they laugh & eat a zebra or whatever.

From other news sources I understood that about a month before the current CrowdStrike fiasco, a similar update was pushed by CrowdStrike to Linux servers. With practically the same result (kernel panic instead of a BSOD).

Except it was mostly caught on test systems at companies, not their production servers. And this event was also duly reported back to CrowdStrike. Who apperently didn't learn (enough) from that mistake and did their roll-out to Windows systems too.

The easy path is usually downhill...
