Crowdstrike issue
- Thread starter dogememe
- Start date
Obligatory:
I liken it more to the electric grid disruptions of the mid to early 1900's
AI will one day properly control things. In my wife's industry, networks are constantly taken down, taken over on a global scale. Companies have to shut operations until either the ransom is paid or they figure it out. AI will one day stay on top of things like this.
AI will maintain a reliable world network, go to battle with adversaries.
We have no clue what AI will be capable of moving into the future. Just like we have no clue what a computer would be capable of right before its early stages. We dont know the future because we are not in it.
Who is to say the domain system will even exist as we know it?
Just my feeling I dont feel anywhere near where we need to go. We are still in the infancy of 5g radios that will one day be part of everything we do, not even close to that yet and I am sure sooner or later 5g will be outdated.

ALL I am saying is each generation in the past throught they were living already in the future and current generations looking back see anything but what they thought was the future. I love electronics and computers but Im bored and waiting for something new, exciting and better. Just the other day in another thread I agreed with someone as far as new cell phones. We have platoed no real reason to upgrade anymore as far as new and exciting. It's just a maintenance upgrade at this point, like the old dial up telephone.
Some genius will invent something for us. Same goes for our Mac Desktops I have a Mac mini with the intel processor and wife with the M1and a MacBook with an M1 ... why do I need to go to the M2 or M3 at this point when nothing new is offered for them to be needed? I'll eventually replace the 2018 version Mac mini with the intel just because I think. My wife has a Dell Workstation provided from her company, same thing now, still newer model doing the same old tasks (mostly)
It will happen, hope I am alive to see it
Im just bored with electronics, same old stuff, same old issues. Give me something new and useful. I have no clue what that can be.

Crowdstrike did what people pay them to prevent.
Skynet is real and it's testing our defenses and response.
My Linux machines are running fine, as they always do.
The Windows machine that my company provides is down because they use Crowdstrike.
Here's one way to fix it:
Part 1: if you use Bitlocker (skip if you don't)
Hold down F8 while booting to get to safe mode
On the blue screen, press F8 once or twice to get to the Bitlocker screen
Enter your bitlocker key (you did save it, didn't you?)
This will take you to the safe mode options screen
Select 4 or F4 to boot to safe mode
Part 2:
If the machine is not already in safe mode, hold down F8 while booting to get to safe mode
At the safe mode login prompt, log in to the local machine
Find this Crowdstrike file: C:\Windows\System32\drivers\CrowdStrike\C-00000291*.sys
(It might be in a slightly different location on each machine)
Rename the file, for example change the extension.
Close all windows and reboot the machine normally.

What a way to exit a company, pretty sure this would criminal level behavior. Aren't updates dry run on virtual machines / sandbox environment with multiple configurations and scenarios to make sure these events don't happen?
Same situation we have now, except amplified. Good guys vs hackers except it will be nation state AI systems (North Korea, China, Russia) vs Western AI defenses. The good guys need to have a lead in AI development (chip production, independent rare earth acquisition, energy availability, best LLMs) at all costs to maintain a lead over adversarial AI systems.
Who ever has the best AI will be able to dominate their enemy. Fortunately it looks like the West has a massive head start now as I can't see anyone reproducing NVidia's chips even if they possessed the blue prints due to embargos on ASMLs photolithography machines. We can't always rely on this lead though, anything can happen. I'm sure there is a Manhattan level effort by our adversaries to build their own photolith machines on par with ASMLs tech.
AI supremacy will prevail but not in the way of artificial sentience I believe, but who ever possesses the best AI will control everything.
Don't worry, the CEO said he is super sorry and that he is keeping Biden and the WH up to date on the situation.
Dry run to test responses before the big one around Oct / Nov.
I don't use Crowdstrike, whatever that is, and I avoid Microsoft software updates until they have been around a few weeks.
There are a bunch of dealers down today because of this and the people on CDK aren't doing well.

Yeah. Bad day for us in IT. 
Hitler is informed about the CrowdStrike IT outage is already up on YouTube.
Linux, Linux, Linux. Have companies not learned? There's a reason one of the States in Germany dropped Microsoft for Linux for all government functions.
global outage, loss easily in the $billions
it's an easy fix that I could implement on my work laptop but they don't want to quickly give admin access to fix the issue...
people who have admin access have been able to fix the issue for themselves by disabling Crowdstrike.
I don't think this was intentional but rather budget cuts because anything you release (in the IT world) needs to be thoroughly tested, and something like this would have easily been caught in testing...
Quick!!! Throw the intern under the bus!
