The Windows Remix is literally the worst remix I have ever heard in my life. I'm probably going to reupload this video without the dumb remix in the background.
@@Orincaby Usually the real answer is the more boring and mundane. They were using an automated system to create the driver (I heard it might even be using AI).
@@Orincaby it wasn't really the driver it self, it was essentially a sort of script file with virus detection methods which was executed by the driver. But that doesn't matter too much. From my experience as a developer, automated build systems sometimes succeed even though there are errors when they really shouldn't be calling the build a success, which can creat files which are very broken, which are now getting automatically pushed to customers. I think that is what happened here probably
I cannot believe that so much important infrastructure relies on Windows 10 with a private security solution that automatically updates installed. Edit: Go read the replies, they're interesting.
I can’t believe so many airports use windows, I would have thought critical 24x7 operations would use Linux but there you go. Perhaps now airports and airlines will be using a mix of operating systems just in case Ind fails you still have some backups available
@@СВАТАЮ_ВАС okay maybe another app like Photoshop but you can CLEARLY see that the sphere is not perfectly spherical in the picture and I've seen this very image in 2023 (way before The Crowdstrike BSOD)
I'm an IT Technician who works at a hospital. Not only did this outage create excessive stress on our team, it also caused patients to be turned away, which is sad.
Just seriously imagine for a second, someones in a critical situation and the life supporting systems show this fucking screen. It’s literally the screen of death for the patient.
having a life support system rely on a singular windows machine that is connected to the internet seems like excessive irresponsibility analysis and statistics sure, but the actual pumps and whatever are dedicated hardware a hospital that has falcon sensor running on all their clients said they stopped starts of all elective surgeries but continue to be ready for all emergencies as they have contingency plans for that still, crowdstrike has a lot to answer for not slowly rolling out updates on a few machines at first to test instead of applying it to all client systems at once and companies need to consider if they want to go back to vetting each of their updated softwares on their own preview, canary, early, production rings
That doesn't happen. Medical devices are licensed as fixed hardware and software. They are not connected to the internet and rarely if ever updated. They may run Windows somewhere underneath, but even then it is a completely frozen version that has been thoroughly tested with that specific hardware. Many hospitals are dependent on Windows, but that's more due to organizational requirements; patient information systems, staff management, supply management, etc.
@@largeroliker That bit is being mentioned in my newest documentary on this IT outage - I instantly knew about this when I saw it during editing, it was coincidentally hilarious! 😆
Linux in the meantime taking note to add DRM-PANIC 😅. (with this statement, I want to say that a blue screen is not something that just says "the operating system sucks", but it will tell you "hey, the operating system saved your PC to prevent any damage caused by sh*tty drivers/softwares") So yeah, the big issue here is just Crowdstrike...
But didn't this update come out for linux and mac machined as well, with only windows machines going crazy? This is obviously CrowdStrike's fault but I'm sure that this also means that there's something wrong with the way windows handles Kernel-level drivers.
You'd honestly be surprised how much Microsoft is integrated into everyday Life.. Now imagine a world of Linux.. as in windows blue screened and then installed Linux..
Lets push an update for a driver that interacts with the OS Kernel to all our millions of customers without testing it first. What is the worst that could happen? - CrowdStrike
Interestingly my Dell Latitude which doesn't even have Crowdstrike on it, decided to randomly join in the fun of Blue Screening, I guess it decided to join in with its comrades on the crashing frenzy.
This. The grocery store in my town runs on windows and had to close down for a day, meanwhile the place i work at's system is using (albeit a very outdated version of) ubuntu linux. And i didnt know about the crowdstrike update until i finished my closing shift.
Fun fact: this could've been avoided entirely if it wasn't for one of the big antivirus brands filing an anti-trust against MS when they had plans to redo how kernel-level drivers interact to prevent stuff like this lol
The scary thing about this is, if there wouldnt have been a work around, if they wouldnt have managed to fix it rather quick, this could have resulted in a partly breakdown of global communication and economy and a lot of problems for the near future
imagine screwing up on such a massive scale that your name becomes known to the entire company as “the guy who accidentally bricked a fuckton of computers worldwide”
That‘s what you get for building your critical infrastructure based on a proprietary operating system. There’s a reason most critical applications are based on linux, which is open source.
Imagine that is 2025 and the BSOD starts and you see the Sphere of Las Vegas and you see the blue screen of death Edit : nah this is a whole new level of BSOD's
There's no reason not to. It's not like there were any features useful for industrial applications added to windows since then, and updating can be really expensive
@@allangibson8494 Yea at home... (and you can change the os is not like a hack or so) But this are tiny tiny PC for just one ore two task. A good Raspberry PI wuold be half the price for just the windows licens. Or do the have a free version?
As someone in comments already said, it's really scary how much infrastructure runs on windows, and how brittle this infrastructure is. Remember CtOS from Watch Dogs?
Because of this incident, 6 computers out of the 15 or so we have at my workplace blue screened. That day was certainly something cause most of us couldn’t do our jobs with the network and computers all toasted like this.
It's amazing, all these signs that have an embedded Windows PC that don't actually do any computing, what a waste of computing resources (even though they probably don't have that much), there has to be a better way.
I know this didn’t just happen in the U.S., but I find it extremely ironic that areas of capitalism rely on a singular security firm. Especially in the air travel field, which I thought 9/11 taught us something.
They don't, if they did rely on a singular security firm then everything everywhere would have went down, but it didn't, only systems that use Crowdstrike went down.
Why would it be? The electronic billboards going outbound from Melbourne Friday night also had these issues, and I would assume American places use a similar technology.
@@quocdathoang8649 ohhh yeah I see that. With the weird black artefacting. Apparently, the spherical image later in this video was confirmed photoshopped, so wouldn’t surprise me if people are making fakes (be it for trolling or trying to make light of the situation) I wonder if anybody got any photos of the outbound road leaving the Melbourne west gate freeway, as *those* certainly were real as I saw them.
