ISO releases new C++ language standards on a three-year cadence; now that it's been more than a year since the finalization of C++23, we have a good idea of what features could be adopted for C++26 — although proposals can still be submitted until January 2025. They should be supported by 2032 or so

After that, Microsoft will no longer provide updates for .NET 6. Sad news for all of you still on .NET 2.0

The spokesman, while not quoted verbatim, is said to have told the WSJ that a 2009 deal with the European Commission is the reason why Microsoft can't lock down its operating system more to boost security. "Always remember that when you're pointing your finger at someone, you've got three pointing back at yourself."
CrowdStrike truly is the gift that gives today

A quote not extended enough in the industry

That's Microsoft being lazy. They could produce a user mode API to their security subsystems and force their own security people to use it. This would still comply with the EU agreement.

IT admins now have a quicker way to get machines up and running again after CrowdStrike’s faulty update. Is it a Linux install?
Link to the Apple Store?
A copy of Windows 3.1?

The got the install disks from Southwest.

Southwest is still flying high, unaffected by the outage that’s plaguing the world today, and that’s apparently because it’s using Windows 3.1. Imagine how well they'd be doing if they stuck with DOS

After the Southwest debacle a couple of years ago they need some good news about their technology.
|
|

That pretty much undercuts all of MS's calls to upgrade to the latest version.

Am I correct to assume this only affects machines that have software from CrowdStrike installed?
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

No - it impacts all Windows machines running CrowdStrike Falcon Sensor software. CrowdStrike is used by a lot of companies to provide front end security protection from ransomware and other malware that uses command and control servers.

OK, but I searched for the files named in the article, and they don't exist on my machine. I do not have a "CrowdStrike" folder in Windows\System32\drivers

Are you running CrowdStrike's Falcon Sensor software? If not then your machine isn't impacted by this bug.

Well, that's what I was getting at. It only affects machines that have CrowdStrike software installed.
Thanks for the article.

Who's going to protect those companies from CrowdStrike?

On the bright side, a crashed computer isn't vulnerable to a cyber attack.
