Bloody glad i'm not travelling today.

Just had an email from work... Via Outlook 

Joking aside it's probably a direct response to yesterday's news about stopping their Divisity BS.

If this is the case those responsible should all be sacked. The cost to businesses globally is probably enough to bankrupt Mr Gates.

Not for me it's not

As a guy I used to work with always said " nothing like a rest day in front of the computer with a box of tissues" 😂

Well, it's kept me "amused" for a couple of days

The cost to businesses globally is probably enough to bankrupt Mr Gates.

Not that he has any dealings with the running of Microsoft for about the last 15-20 years .  But, despite what the media may say, very, very clearly its not a fault with anything Microsoft.  I know its trendy to hate them (and they have lost the plot since Gates stood down - much like Apple have without Jobs), but they can't take the blame for:
a) Crap 3rd party code, which obviously doesn't validate inputs very well.
b) Crap methodology - presumably Agile - meaning shit ain't tested properly.

The cost of the impact would still bankrupt Master Gates regardless of blame such is the scale of the (ongoing) effect.

Turns out that Crowdstrike lists Google as one of it's shareholders.

Also turns out, judging by my morning so far, Linux isn't as immune to this as first thought.

This could get quite messy, quite quickly.

As a layman, I have no idea how the inner workings of the internet function. But I do notice a lot more outages and general slowness over the last year or so. Is it full?

There was an article in the paper last year predicting a total outage that will cause enormous problems worldwide, so perhaps this is the start of it . I can't pretend to understand any of it but any system getting overloaded  would obviously fail in the end, better draw some cash out just in case the atms fail completely.

Agile is taking over.  Even the invent of Agile methodology is saying its (the way everybody is using it) shit

Also, the fascination with putting shit into a handful of large clouds, be that Amazon's, Microsoft's or Google's.  So the (frequent) cloud outages - MS' Azure had one Thursday night just before this chaos - have a massive blast radius.  But its Agile and sexy.

I completely understand everything about how the internet works, but Im not telling any of you. 

According to Microsft, the outage was the EU,s fault.

That’s not quite what MS said, and taken out of context, but never let the truth get in the way of an agenda.

It was in a response to a Q about how 3rd party software can bring a modern OS down.
