While Windows PCs are rendered unusable, Apple’s indomitable Macs are safe from the global CrowdStrike IT outage

vendredi 19 juillet 2024, 20:02 , par Mac Daily News
While Windows PCs suffer a massive global CrowdStrike IT outage, Macs remain unaffected, CrowdStrike said.
 The debacle, caused by a defective update, halted airlines, hospitals, public transport, and more.

Jordan Hart for Business Insider:


While Windows users suffered from a global IT outage, Mac owners weren’t affected by the defect responsible.
Major airlines, banks, and retailers are experiencing widespread disruptions linked to the outage after Microsoft reported problems with its online services, linked to an issue at cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike.
Many businesses have been held up by the “blue screen of death” on their Microsoft devices since early Friday morning, but it’s business as usual for Mac users, according to CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz.

MacDailyNews Take: The productivity loss surely outweighs whatever was “saved” by standardizing on cheap, crappy Windows PCs.

As we wrote 18 years ago:
Windows is a cancer on personal computing and the choice to “standardize” on Windows was one of the worst mistakes ever made en masse. Thankfully, that mistake can easily be corrected: Get a Mac.
