  • As long is it’s not autogenerated then thats fine. The correct statement would be

    “What Arch user actually like:” --> “What Arch users are actually like:”

    or even “What Arch users actually look like:”

    By leaving it as “what they like” you could be implying that they like these things, as in they enjoy them.

    “Like” has both a verb definition and an adjective. And also a noun, but I’ve never once seen it used that way lol.










  • Why can’t we talk about improperly formatted kernel level drivers? MS is notorious for “oops” accidentally rolling drivers back 8 or more years, and now it’s become a problem.

    And correct me if I’m wrong but the CS update came before the windows update which caused the problems.

    EDIT: I am a bit off the mark

    On 19 July at 04:09 UTC, CrowdStrike distributed a driver update for its Falcon software for Windows PCs and servers. An update to a configuration file that was responsible for screening named pipes, Channel File 291, caused a logic error with the Windows sensor client, causing affected machines to enter the blue screen of death with the stop code PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA, indicating an error caused by a page fault.


  • TBH regardless of windows security, this was clearly the fault of a lack of compatibility. Whether CrowdStrike was made in a way that caused the problem or if the Windows update wasn’t properly screened or tested for this kind of failure, I’m sure we’ll be hearing a lot about very soon, but the jury is out on which one is at fault.
