Biggest Meltdown In History

This is the most common headline today. Makes me chuckle.

What history? Is it the history of "centrally managed, distributed endpoint protection, via third party, autonomous, central repositories"?

That history?

That goes way, way, way back, to 10-15 years.

They make it sound as if this extends all the way to the Aztec Empire.

Amazing though how much of infrastructure was switched to that, over the past 10 years, without having a fail-safe mechanism.

There will be a reckoning. I don't mean getting rid of the technology, but ensuring that there's oversight coupled with software updates, from third parties, or even government agencies.

It's a sickening thought that we're so dependent on technology we the user, not only don't understand.
But have absolutely no control over and are dependent entirely on faceless folks at companies we've never heard of, to solve problems we didn't create.

And some question why some of us are constantly questioning why we have no power of choice in any form of modern technology that we're constantly being told is essential or you're denied access to everything they want you to do online

@Northwest Well, you saw that the man with the answer basically said, "that's my only advice on solving the problem, at this time." lol

If HE doesn't know, your local IT peeps will be equally unhelpful.

@Northwest my son works in IT so when I told him about this in the middle of the night his response was one word, "Fun!".
@Tastyfrzz Lol Yes!

As there should be. It certainly hosed most of my workday.
@Starcrossed Seems you were in a VERY big boat with a LOT of people.
