    This 3rd party software company fucked up and M$oft get the pressure, so they act like they are responsible.

    Even the customers fucked up by using a vital piece of software where they cannot test the updates before rollout.

      A third party vendor whose entire business model is predicated on the fact that security is such an afterthought at Microsoft that enterprise customers need to resort to this kind of crap for a bare minimum of security.

          Never said it didn’t. Doesn’t change the fact that Microsoft is notoriously worse by every metric and because of its position in the market is far more potentially damaging. Almost like if you sell an OS as something that can be trusted to run mission critical applications, you probably shouldn’t phone it in when it comes to securing that OS.

            🙄👌👍

            Definitely just not easier to use even you don’t want to fuck around in the terminal.

                  Apologies, I misread your comment as saying you had to use the terminal to use Linux (I was drunk ngl). I still believe Linux is easier to use than Windows with the caveat that the easiest system to use will always be the one you have the most experience with. I switched from MacOS/Windows to Fedora on my personal machine a few months ago and it’s been smooth sailing for me, though I have always used Linux at least somewhat (I work in cyber security), so that has probably helped.

                  Dismissing Linux as a tool for a different job (ie not personal/business computing) is an odd position to take for someone with your experience.

      This is also MS’s fault because they never provided a proper API for security products like MacOS, so they end up having to run them all inside the kernel.

      The reason for this omission was to give a competitive advantage to their own security products while also being cheaper.

      NO.

      Clowntrike didn’t fuck up. They offered an externally-managed service that people allowed into their network because they didn’t really clue in how monumentally stupid this is. You’re blaming the gas station for blowing up your car or the leopards for eating your face. Customers who actually gave them money - the people who struggle with “that’s hot, so don’t touch it” - are a dime a dozen, and clowntrike was just taking advantage of the stupid. This has been the American way since snake oil salesmen during the gold rush.

      We fucked up by not watching our stupider techbro friends better suited to a ward somewhere than a c-suite job. We should have been ridiculing them mercilessly so their shame would make them choose better.
