If you're in the US, you can file a complaint with the DoT At this link here. It was set up recently :)
it's really Delta's job to at least cover the cost of the hotels/rentals for what is (basically) their fuck up. (that fuck up being using clowdstrike/MS.)

You should accept it and say "this wouldn't have happened with Linux".
Sorry for your day. It must have sucked.
This is going to be a class action suit, and it’s going to put them out of business, which is good and proper in this context.
Kind of like what happened with McAfee! Just don't look up
Who was CTO of McAfee when an update bricked millions of computers by deleting svchost.exe
George Kurtz, the CEO and co-founder of Crowdstrike
It’s just so insane to me that c-suites are able to fail upwards after catastrophic failures like that.
Incidentally, the guy who’s in charge of Google’s search division these days is the guy who was in charge of Yahoo’s search division during the period of time when the went from neck and neck for top dog to “I guess only Japan uses us now” 🤭
Or they will be bailed out, like they always are.
Naaahhhh, this isn't JUST a greedy fuck who wandered in to muck and needs a haul out. This is a greedy fuck who got in the way of other greedy fucks stealing their bag.
The other greedy fucks are at least going to make sure to draw a little blood.
All I hear is the South Park empty platitude “Sorry…” (😆)
What should I do?
Please god send Microsoft headquarters a $10 gift card🙏🏼🙏🏼
Sorry we crashed the world go buy (almost) a burger.
Bitch.
Cue the Wendy’s conspiracies saying they did it to sell more burgers.
They are evil
If you went to Romania, you could buy 33 loaves of bread and still have 0.1 USD left(i would have gave the equivalent for a country where bread is cheaper if i knew the price of any)
You probably cant travel to Romania with 0.1 USD(or even with 10 USD) and i dont think the damage that caused was equivalent to 33 loaves of bread, but how could have they known that? Maybe they think everyone can teleport everywhere else for 0.1 USD and think bread is worth more than gold
Can the answer involve teleportation? Just this once? We've been good. We deserve a treat.

Are there any good alternatives to Crowdstrike on the market? They have a monopoly which is why this impacted so many businesses.
Yes, hiring more IT security specialists
IT Security Specialists are the people using this product.
Yes and no. Plenty of security options that actually work. Not necessarily ones that can make all the promises of clownstrike, but only some moronic cto would buy in to marketing hype ...
Better than a poke in the eye I suppose
