    This is why you test on 1 isolated computer, for at least a week, before you update all. Non of these people know, you can reboot to a previous version you had. So no one knows basic computer tech, on maintaining your computer.

    In response, the airlines will now be adding a cabin pressure fee.

    Imagine if the Technology Issue had effected The Grid, which is pretty much all technology based now.
  • @luisasipple9315
    $140 million fee and airplanes are still haveing the same travel problems? Seriously?😢

    The best decision I ever made after decades of Windows failure was to switch to another OS...
  • Massive display of incompetence by CrowdStrike. Like they could not test it before distributing. EVEN WORD PROCESSORS OFFER AN "UNDO".
  • @yattayatta3101
    Heavy dependence on Technology is scary when you rely too much on it.., makes me fear the A.I. even more! One wrong move and it could be back to the stone ages

    These blue screen lock ups and boot hangs have plagued Microsoft systems for decades. If institutions want easier to maintain, lower cost, more secure systems.. Why don't they use Unix, Linux, or BSD (or Mac) operating systems?
  • @JohnOhkumaThiel
    I have zero experience with such dramatic travel problems. One time, a five hour delay due to a strike. I normally fly intercontinental. Americans in general simply expect too much.

    It's nothing personal or discriminatory but there's no solid path for Harris to win as the nominee
  • @DSandy111
    Diversity is a potential help. Half the systems should be windows based and the ither half IOS or Linux based. Half the data circuits one carrier and the other half a different carrier network. Half one anti-virus package and half another different anti-virus package. Update IT workstations first, then mission critical in stages. Etc etc

    Why is this guy cutting Southwest saying their using out of date software. "systems running on software" He is not a smart man.
