Imho. We are too laissez faire about our dependence on computers.
Currently doing disaster planning for compliance. What I really want to put in the docs is “If power or internet goes down we are just fucked. No planning needed. “
I mean disaster planning is about finding ways to mitigate things like power or internet going down to minimize or eliminate their impact. That said, accepting the risk of downtime because alternatives are too expensive is a perfectly valid decision as long as it’s an intentional one.
I don’t think a OS should ever be LESS open about what a user can do. It should be on the user to do their due diligence and have high availability systems setup.
Only reason Linux wasn’t affected as much was luck. this could just as easily have happened to Linux systems if the broken update targetted Linux.
We (this community especially) criticize windows for not being more open like Linux, and all of a sudden we’re saying it should’ve been more like Apple?

It depends on the industry. Some industries have very critical systems that can’t go down period.
Yeah, in which case you wouldn’t accept the downtime and would drop the cash on redundant systems.
The more nines you add the more exponential growth you see in cost. This is because you end with lots of idling hardware.
Too cheap to buy UPS, generators and redundant fiber or something?
We are a small medical practice. It would cost approx $15k in batteries to give us about 3 operating hours. Not economically viable.
But do you think something like an airport would have enough diesel capacity to contiune operating in a power out?
If you are taking about human lives it could be important. Many hospitals spends a significant amount to make sure there isn’t any downtime.
UPS should only be sized enough for the generator power to spin up.
Hospitals and airports typically have their own backup generators, yeah. Not entirely sure how long they’re prepared to operate off-grid.
Also currently trying to get NIS2/27001 compliant before the October deadline hits? ^^
What would you suggest to solve this?
Much, much more care should have being taken by all parties.
Microsoft should not have given kernel access to crowdstrike. Crowdstrike should not have being able to push a killing update.

I feel blessed when a user can find the power on button.
Nope, all I am saying is care should scale with adoption.
