You can tell their infrastructure is outdated and insecure by the fact they’re using Microsoft.
What was that? I couldn’t hear over the all that Microsoft cloud hacking. But by golly that silence before sunburst was deafening…
Here’s me believing a single fucking thing Micro$oft says
They are not lying though, they fired the guy who was really good with excel years ago and are now too afraid to change the excel file he created containing all bookings ever.
Having seen Excel used creatively, I think it’s an exaggeration. It would make collaboration entirely impossible. I assume they have several smaller ones, with more or less - but not exactly - the same layout as it has been adapted for new use cases, and the only way to transfer records from one to the other is to manually copy and paste the info to the relevant cells, but mind the order you do it in and double check, or the Frankenstein’s Macro running half the logic will crash.
so Delta’s non-Windows machines were the ones that suffered the most from a Windows software malfunction? that makes sense
Having to reset or recalibrate other old systems that were disrupted by newer ones going offline makes sense to me. If servers were providing Network Time Protocol and older clients drifted without it, that could cause them to be unable to rejoin a domain. I’m speculating wildly, but it’s an example of how losing important infra can cause issues even after it’s restored.
It didn’t say “non-windows” it said “served by other providers like IBM”. It could easily be Windows servers in IBM’s cloud and wouldn’t ya’ know…IBM uses Crowdstrike.
That’s strange. Southwest Airline’s ancient IT actually saved them from crowdstrike.

Ironically it debunks it by saying, yes, Southwest has key scheduling applications running on 3.1 and 95.
No it doesn’t, nowhere does it say that.
SkySolver and Crew Web Access, look “historic like they were designed on Windows 95”. The fact that they are also available as mobile applications should further make it clear that no, these applications are not running on Windows 3.1 or Windows 95.
Where does it say that? It says that the source says that they are mobile apps (so obviously NOT Windows) that “look like they were designed for Windows 95”.

It was what crowdstrike themselves told us to do!!! but I get bad faith questions assumptions and exaggerations out of people allegedly in my field here on Lemmy. Bullshit. You clowns belonged back on reddit. You are the worst kind of people.
