A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

The issuw didn't affect Linux and macOS systems with Crowdstrike Falcon installed, though, only Windows systems.
On Windows, booting into Safe Mode and removing
C:\Windows\System32\Drivers het bestand C-00000291*.systemporarily solves the BSOD issue, as well.The point is that it could have. Or maybe some unknown 0-day gets used by someone out to cause chaos instead of collect random.
That's true
On one hand I hope people are smart enough to run updates to critical systems on a test environment, first. On the other hand I've learned that that is not at all the case yesterday.
Many security products have no test option. One I’m using has a best practice of a 15 minute delay between test and prod and no automation to suspend besides relying on the vendor to pull the update it within 15 mins if it were to go full crowdstrike.
The problem her was that this wasn't a traditional update. It was delivered automatically as a "content" update (like how old av would have definition update). We were given no room to test.
