The global IT outage on Friday resulted from a sensor configuration update to CrowdStrike’s Falcon platform that caused a Windows logic error. But they were the *right* 8.5 million devices, apparently
I'm curious how they came to that figure, but I'm assuming it's based on the number of BSOD reports they got, plus a factor for the number of people that don't send that home.

The number of machines that stopped sending data back to MS?

Wouldn't they have simply counted ClowdStrike installs?

Based on a survey of nearly 400 software development professionals, the analysis explores the current state of secure software development and underscores the urgent need for formalized industry education and training programs. The null set?
It seems that way lately anyway

"[T]he urgent need for formalized industry education and training programs" strikes me as a self-serving way for some folks to guarantee themselves a mandatory revenue stream. Legal liability can handle it. And where it doesn't, the clueless will go under.

Meta says the European regulatory environment is too ‘unpredictable.’ They're just daring the EU to sue them

If that's true, I am happy for that.
Meta has already been doing what the wanted for long enough.
Sadly I do not think that they are afraid of the EU, it probably has another reason in the background

As new technology transforms workplaces, one CEO says we should hold AI tools to the same standards as human workers. Do they get a parking space?

In that case, they should be fired!

ISO releases new C++ language standards on a three-year cadence; now that it's been more than a year since the finalization of C++23, we have a good idea of what features could be adopted for C++26 — although proposals can still be submitted until January 2025. They should be supported by 2032 or so

The spokesman, while not quoted verbatim, is said to have told the WSJ that a 2009 deal with the European Commission is the reason why Microsoft can't lock down its operating system more to boost security. "Always remember that when you're pointing your finger at someone, you've got three pointing back at yourself."
CrowdStrike truly is the gift that gives today

That's Microsoft being lazy. They could produce a user mode API to their security subsystems and force their own security people to use it. This would still comply with the EU agreement.

IT admins now have a quicker way to get machines up and running again after CrowdStrike’s faulty update. Is it a Linux install?
Link to the Apple Store?
A copy of Windows 3.1?
