  • Please go read up on how this error happened.

    This is not a backwards compatibility thing, or on Microsoft at all, despite the flaws you accurately point out. For that matter the entire architecture of modern PCs is a weird hodgepodge of new systems tacked onto older ones.

    1. Crowdstrike’s signed driver was set to load at boot, edit: by Crowdstrike.
    2. Crowdstrike’s signed driver was running unsigned code at the kernel level and it crashed. It crashed because the code was trying to read a pointer from the corrupt file data, and it had no protection at all against a bad file.

    Just to reiterate: It loaded up a file and read from it at the kernel level without any checks that the file was valid.

    1. As it should, windows treats any crash at the kernel level as a critical issue. and bluescreens the system to protect it.

    The entire fix is to boot into safe mode and delete the corrupt update file crowdstrike sent.






  • It is not random. He has a group of people doing a deceptively good job crafting the message for each region. Just like he did in 2016 with Cambridge Analytica.

    He, himself, is a barely coherent idiot, but I think it allows their message to be received by people who also don’t have that good an education.

    E.G. find one of his speeches from the rust belt. They’re all fairly similar. Will hit notes of corruption, proud people, fight the NYC and California democrats that did this to them, anti-trade and protectionism, etc. Then go find one like this one that was to bible belt extremists. Completely different. Will still hit some common notes(NYC/Cali), but the underlying message and theme are miles apart.

    Edit: to be clear, its all bullshit lies that are telling people exactly what they want to hear.
