This is why tech and data sovereignty are so important. If you depend on another country for your most crucial software and hardware, you will always be held hostage by them. This time was an accident because CrowdStrike didn't do their due diligence, next time it will be sanctions.
I think Crowd strike was a Democrat operation to clean and wipe everything regarding the assassination plot on Trump. There's even credible information on Austin Private Wealth, an investment firm run by BR, Vanguard, and Trump's stocks were invested into the day before he was expected to"die" the next day. Bush and Cheney also had a hand in it. They're expecting Trump to die the next day and short on those stocks making $$$ off of his "death". Crowdstrike made it harder to document what went on. The timing is also convenient too.
Most comments here do not address the issue but are rather sarcastic. Both Russia and China are doing the right thing in producing and using domestic software. Western software usually has a backdoor, which can be used against other countries.
Passenger and flight info system can be abused to track person-in-interest's international movement, and when they land in certain country, they can be arrested right at the airport. Huawei's CFO is the case in point.
Russia and China are using Linux and are currently being hacked 24/7 LOL. They havent done anything but use all verisons of linux like their ASTRA which is total garbage and already wide open.
they havent produced anything. Russia and China both use a version of red hat linux. Its garbage and has zero days, so NSA dont care. Use linux and make it easier for them to hack you.
@@ranjitkumargouda8970 the whole point of the video is to imply that there are alternatives. China and Russia are self-reliant in technology and developed their own system, that's why their weren't affected, while other countries decided to rely on US technology. It's not about alternatives, it's about dependency.
The United States will pressure or bribe government purchasers, and the CIA usually controls local politics through backdoors and surveillance systems, especially in Europe, South Korea, and Japan.
@@ranjitkumargouda8970for those not looking for alternatives, there will never be any... So thinking you're trapped with CrowdStrike/Windows/etc is the first step into become trapped into them.
Russia and China have learned never to rely on Western technology and software. A great example is the development of the Glonass and BeiDou satellite navigation systems. If the Americans were to deny them access to GPS, as happened to China in 1996, it would have significant military implications. This experience has driven both nations to develop their own independent systems to ensure their technological autonomy and security.
@@randygraham926 Nobody should use Windows. It is a bloated POS. You need a powerful system just to run a little thing when other OS can use the same system and do a lot more. Too bad most software are written for Windows.

There are only three countries in the world that have their own reliable and sustainable "Google": the US, China and Russia. They are the only three countries that have their native IT sector that is their own, and is independent from others.
Using Microsoft is like asking a thief to look after your valuables. If you wish to give them ever last detail of your life, ( Which ever one of us in the West does ) your families and every other person ever connected to you, then go ahead and us it. Sad but true
it's quite simple really. China has the foresight to setup its own sovereign internet, and so is Russia. the world's biggest internet companies are between US and China, 6 for US and 4 or 5 for China. zero for EU. China will gradually migrate all its system to Huawei's Hong Meng OS. Hong Meng OS is all about IoTs. undoubtedly, a small loss for Google Android.
@@ManiKandan-xb2ykSorry to say this but India's human resources are not even very good enough to utilize western resources , they botch a lot of projects that they have to be redone over and over again.
"CrowdStrike" -- the name itself reveals the diabolical connotations. So, when CrowdStrike strikes the crowds, the latter go blue in the face (thanks to Microsoft).
Push out an update without prior testing? Highly suspicious, not for a very very well regarded software company, a cyber security software company! Very fishy!
That's enshitification in a nutshell. They get the monopoly. Then get lazy. Then start milking their products dry. Mass layoffs, overworked professionals etc. The hidden face of capitalism is now showing.
@@andrewfuzh it is a matter of time... as i backpack to many places, i saw a few countries are sharing their skills and knowledge to many countries, so they can become more independent...
Not really irresponsible at all it there are no consequences. A business exists only for it's shareholders and ongoing profits. If it's far less expensive to introduce buggy software, then charge billions in yearly upgrade charges then they are doing their job... which is NOT to care about people or systems that go down.
@@Wandering_Bear No money gain if customers are not buying support. They release crappy products so customers will buy their support service. When something goes wrong, you call their sorry azz up and they will fix it. If you don't buy their crappy support, go luck when sh!t hit the fan like what is happening now.
Unfortunately when companies go woke there is subsequently a trend that it becomes less competent and eventually less effective in its operations and efficiency over time. The risk comes with hiring based on qualities that have little to do with the skills and qualifications and expertise required to run the business properly. This has happened for example in Venezuela when they nationalized their oil companies, replacing most of its engineers and trained staff that had been there for decades, with politicians who had zero experience running an oil company.
Yeah what about the quarter earnings...the proffits? We need to layoff half the workforce and get the other half 4 x more work!! Expand the proffitd forever!!!
We Sheep can do without "performance, productivity, peace of mind". All we really want is a pat on the head from BG, the Chief Wolf. We need the Wolf to "Protect" us from real software and real web-sites that tell the truth about the Wolves.
A company, by mistake or deliberately, can shut down the computer systems globally is not right. Every country should be self sufficient at least for the critical infrastructure

@SyJ-x2c you're delusional, p^lestine has no sov^reignty, its name was just invented by foreigners. It's just a former created province of otto^man and roman emp. The original locals there are canaanites(Israelites), philistines and phoenicians

This is a Windows of a completely different build. In any case, the official has nothing on this PC except his contacts, certainly not technical documentation or any secret documents. Anyone who has more than a certain threshold of access to the internal affairs of the state can transmit data exclusively using domestic developments... That is, this is not even Astra, these are builds of Kaspersky or other trusted companies or state security services... Nothing is transmitted in WhatsApp, except perhaps an offer to go to an expensive restaurant for several hundred thousand rubles...
@gggg-xv7nb 1)"pirate" light versions of windows. 2) each company have system administrator who can adjust system or server. Especially after updates which breaks network printer availability.
Russian airports received and dispatched flights, checked in passengers, and generally performed all their functions. The same applies to rail transport and the work of the banking sector. Not to mention, of course, fast food restaurants, grocery delivery and other orders. In short, they've had everything. And, of course, they did not notice this quiet victory themselves simply because they used to the almost perfect functioning of everything. Any services, businesses and services, no matter what happens.
@justme6275 Yeah good on them 2 but they were forced to do so. If USA wasnt so silly with their sanctions, both countries would probably also have suffered. So another USA sanction backfiring and embarrassing them again.
The test was well taken and passed with a high score for both countries. Confidence is running high for both. One of the major worries for China has been put aside.
Both Russia and China moved a lot of critical infrastructure to Linux, which is not affected by Crowdstrike or other "upgrades" or Windows malware. Probably, too, Sysadmins are more diligent about security. In Thailand, we were not affected.
This current meltdown is only a first outlook to what has to come - while taking the bullshit in the IT sector to ever more im(or de-)pressing heights. I press thumbs that the rest of the world take this event as paragon to how avoid things like that.
Cannot image that the USA'S government's leadership officials would switch to digital payments as in China with these types of glitches..The entire country's will be paralyzed..Nada Dinero for anything😂😅..
@@randygraham926 not to say I'm biased to Linux but I'm really getting bored with windows, because it just too much bloated ware which is privacy concerned to me. I'm a Linux gamer myself ever since proton compatible layer has been created back then, long b4 steam deck light the way to Linux as a gaming os.
China is using OpenKylin, another Linux based OS, on many of their computers. This was developed in China and that's why they had no problems with their airlines, etc. 😜 Android, another open source OS mainly for phones, is also common in China. Although they still use some Windows OS in China -- that will probably be reduced to ZERO in the next couple of years as the U.S. increases whack-a-mole sanctions.😇
No, in China windows is still the mainstream operating system, the reason why China is not too affected in this incident, there are two main reasons: 1. Most Chinese companies do not use security software from foreign companies, especially in the government sector. 2. CrowdStrike took the initiative to ban the sale of CrowdStrike to mainland China.
@@user-or9hw5fn7e its because microsoft not barred in china yet, not because china depend on them, it is because US did not ban selling it to china , though it did to russia
For all nations, this cataclysmic tech glitch teaches a great lesson in vulnerability and forces them in creating their new communication software in order to keep individual reliability in their financial, defense, intelligence and almost total functionality as a country.
What's the fucking difference between running crowdstrike and Kaspersky ? The problems relies on you not having control over your host software updates and Kaspersky does the same thing. The only solution is running away from Microsoft
Getting out of the digital shackes of the West is just as important as getting out of their financial ones. BRICS and especially China and Russia are just about there already, not quite but almost done with that endeavor.
Its not a Microsoft problem or the people who have windows. It's for the people who havs crowdstrike security has the problem. Even I have win10 no problem for me, just that I don't use crowdstrike
Actually, when I read the news about this global incident, I had 2 questions: 1. How did Microsoft's garbage get involved in those industries where everything fell down? 2. How was it allowed to use cloud solutions and even Microsoft solutions in critical applications and services? Therefore, the answer is why neither Russia nor China was affected by this - it is not customary for us to use consumer operating systems in critical areas.
It’s simple, they didn’t place their tech dependency on a third country. That’s the importance of tech sovereignty. By placing your high security softwares in the hands of others, you’ll always be a hostage.
For days the crash was described in the West as worldwide. It occurred to me at the time that at least half the world, Russia and China would not be affected.
It’s a double edged sword. It also meant that China and Russia are not as integrated with the rest of the world. That’s fine if you are a big country with a huge domestic market to be self sufficient. This approach may not work for countries with a small population / small market.
Apparently, OS-security will be another national security threat. If, I said IF, a country who highly relies on windows os, when troubles come, the US government can order their it company to “lock down” the whole country. Or unnecessary for whole country, just the military or police or medical system, by the excuse of “cyber virus” or something. Some countries might have their own os like windows or MacOs, like us and Russia, although normal people use windows or Mac, but like airports, hospitals, fire stations, police departments and other major government departments, we use our own os. I might not very convenient for using, but it’s absolutely ENOUGH and BETTER BETTER.
Are you from China? China is mainly using neoKylin or openKylin domestically on computers? Is that correct? Russia is using Astra Linux now. China should shift away from Windows as soon as possible for the reasons you mentioned.
@@randygraham926 actually, as what I know, you are right, our government departments and public officials are using Linux systems. But we the normal citizens are still using windows home edition or Mac. It’s unnecessary to ban windows or Mac on citizens and daily using, but we need to prepare for the emergency.
Regarding Russia, Crowdstrike does not sell its solutions in Russia, does not support Russian users due to the sanctions imposed by the US. Therefore, it is not surprising that there were no problems in Russia because of them.
Crowdstrike needs to compensate tens of trillions of dollars in business and financial losses by banks, stock markets, airlines, financial institutions, government agencies, the shutdown of hospitals and affecting their patients in critical care, and tens of millions of inconvenienced passengers all over the world. Governments all over the world including the EU, should impose hundreds of billions of dollars in fines on Crowdstrike!
