Malaysia asks Microsoft, CrowdStrike to consider covering losses from outage
- ListeningPie 2y agoIs it unique that Malaysia is asking? I imagine every business hit is asking, then lawsuits start. Servers have up time contracts to hold.
- commercialnix 2y agoMalaysia has only itself to blame.
- 3m 2y agoYou might need to explain that one.
- bdjsiqoocwk 2y agoVictim blaming.
- commercialnix 2y agoMalaysia isn't a victim. Malaysia consented and chose to run Windows. They got what they asked for.
- bdjsiqoocwk 2y agoJust because your decisions were necessary to lead you to a bad outcome, doesn't mean you're not a victim.
- commercialnix 2y agoThe bad decision wasn't necessarily necessary. I have enough of an IT background that I'm not going to buy into a theory that is something like "choosing Windows" is actually "necessary". Maybe in the early 2000s, sure. But this decade? Bull-fucking-shit. We are in a year where everyone (or in Malaysia at least enough people) 35 years old has grown up around computers. We are far beyond the point where there are any valid excuses.
- mobilemidget 2y agoI'm not a fan of neither but nobody forced people to use microsoft or crowd strike products?
- shmeeed 2y agoMalaysia: Your product is faulty and caused us damages Microsoft: Nobody forced you to use our product
- atoav 2y agoYeah that is no argument. Microsoft is a defacto monopolist and everywhere where e.g. municipalities tried to switch to Linux they lobbied hard against it. If Microsoft wants to keep that cash making machine it should fulfill some minimum guarantees and feel consequences if their choices lead to damages. I'd like to see you driving a car, flying a plane or riding a train that was built with your "no guarantees"-mindset. Aren't the benefits of modern society that we can bite into a piece of food from the supermarket without dying because we didn't research the exact places where it was made? This is only possible with standards and checks.
- ratg13 2y agoIf all of the wheels and engine fell off of your car, would you accept the manufacturer telling you that nobody made you buy it? If rotten food was served to you, is that on you for ordering it? Why would you think like this?
