This is the comment I expected, begging to handover your freedoms to run software to a big carry.

If you replace parts in your BMW, and put in some garbage or incompatible parts, it your fault if it doesn’t run.

You expect to sue your mechanic if he messed up, and for him to cover the full cost. For some reason people do not expect CrowdStrike to pay for their stupidity, which is the root of the problem. And the management that installed crowdstrike without due diligence



Bit it wasn't some garbage parts in a car, it was an app. And apps fail all the time, OS is expected to handle that. Same as car is expected to handle rain for example.


Buggy third-party kernel modules cause kernel panics all the time in Linux. You can easily write a kernel module to make a Linux system explode.


> it was an app. And apps fail all the time

Exactly

The fact that developers do not take their responsibility as seriously as an average car mechanic bring shame on our entire industry
