There are lots of variants of this. Wazuh, Velociraptor, etc. They have several problems. One is that user-mode EDR is just not very efficient and effective, and kernel mode requires Microsoft driver signing. There are some hoops for that,

No. Not in production yet. But that should solve this problem once it's available for any company that uses it (and I believe CrowdStrike is heavily involved with it).

I've never worked for Microsoft so I'm speculating, but I doubt their org structure supports that. The Windows team isn't going to be the same as the EDR team. The EDR team might have more info about Windows internals than Cr

Even if, say, banks and insurance companies could move a couple of hundred thousand Windows endpoints to fully functional zero trust tomorrow, they'd still need something on the endpoint, if only for log aggregation and detection. It i

The Microsoft competitor to CrowdStrike is Microsoft Defender XDR (specifically Defender for Endpoint), an enterprise product that is pretty good (in my opinion) but not one that Microsoft just throws in as a sweetener with Office 365 or wh

Agree, but in addition, the situation that created this problem will soon be resolved when eBPF for Windows goes to prod. It won't be possible to bluescreen a Windows box just because EDR has a bad update. The situation(s) that make ED

Literally exponentially increasing means that if the fee is $2 in year one, it's just over a trillion bucks in year 40. Even with inflation, if a patent is important enough to someone to finance the entire welfare state, I say let them

This is (to me) a strange comment. I assume it refers to the fact that some right-wingers have latched onto Orwell. But that happened long after his death. Orwell was a British Socialist, and the people he's attacking in the books are

Trump's lawyers didn't have the opportunity to read the majority opinion before it was written. We do have the opportunity to read it now. Also, I don't know if you have, but I've noticed that Trump doesn't hire the

Personal preference admittedly, but I much prefer Kagan and so far, Jackson. Sotomayor, like Alito and sometimes Thomas but generally not the rest, strikes me as purely results-oriented. The Chief justice is results-oriented in a different

It's pretty much a truism that one should never rely on a dissent's characterization of what the majority opinion says. Especially if the dissent writer is Sotomayor or Alito, frankly. Murdering political rivals isn't a core

Yes, the U.S. has the concept of public hospitals, but they're unevenly distributed, let's say. Parkland in Dallas, where JFK died, is one. I pay property taxes separately in suburban Dallas / Fort Worth (Tarrant County) to m

This probably won't be popular, but the U.S. Supreme Court isn't really partisan either. A lot of its cases don't involve partisan issues in any case, but a majority of all the cases are decided 9-0, like this one. The percep
