Because Trump will solve it?

Bibi and Trump are best buds. If anything, this escalates further if he wins.

He really earned that $44.9 billion, didn't he?

My wife spotted that Diamante was wearing a bandage over her right ear during the lumberjack match.

I really hope that doesn't mean what I think it means.

Just looked it up, she has a legit ear injury. Phew.

That's not correct. Crowdstrike does also work with Mac and Linux, but this particular incident only impacted the Windows sensor.

They actually had a similar issue with the Linux sensor a couple of months ago, which... doesn't speak well of their update process.

Hologram is 100% flippy shit and I love it

They see he's half dead and want to finish the job?

That would be the stupidest move in the history of stupid political moves. Drop old-as-fuck candidate who beat Trump before, replace him with old-as-fuck candidate who lost to Trump.

I don't see Harris energizing progressives. AOC would, but she'd have to overcome the apathy they have for the top of the ticket.

The issue, in this case, is more about Crowdstrike's broad usage than Microsoft's. The update that crippled everything was to the Crowdstrike Falcon Sensor software, not to the OS.

Funnily enough, they had a similar issue with an update to the Linux version of the software a few months ago, that didn't have these broad-reaching consequences largely due to the smaller Linux user base. Which means this is starting to look like a pattern, and there are going to need to be some serious process changes at Crowdstrike to prevent things like this in the future.

Anybody's guess if those changes happen or not.

I think you're understating the power of the Presidency here. For one thing, they have veto power over Congress.

For another, many laws are broad and give a lot of leeway for interpretation, which is why presidents can accomplish a lot by executive order. As long as the Supreme Court doesn't step in anyway.

And third, don't underestimate the power of the bully pulpit. Presidents are looked at as the leaders of their party, and often set the legislative agenda. If a president says they want something done, their party members in Congress will find a way to get it done.
