Insurers have begun calculating the financial damage caused by last week’s devastating CrowdStrike software glitch that crashed computers, canceled flights and disrupted hospitals all around the globe — and the picture isn’t pretty.
This crowdstrike stuff seems an expensive subscription
I saw a lot of photos of crashed ad screens.
Why the hell are corps paying this much money for windows+cloudstrike for a glorified digital picture frame?? Wouldn’t be 100x cheaper to do it with some embedded stuff instead of having a full desktop computer running a full desktop os???
Yeah, an RPi or similar with a screen would be more than plenty for this, and the Pi Zero is really small. Connect that to a central Linux server with a hot backup or two (through local DNS) and you’ll have a hard time crashing it.
