  • CrowdStrike, Microsoft, and the glitch that rocked the world

    CrowdStrike, Microsoft, and the glitch that rocked the world
    Jul 25 2024

    On Friday, more than 8.5 million Microsoft computers around the world shut down.

    The tech outage threw our most essential systems into chaos. Airlines delayed or canceled flights. Hospitals turned away non-emergency patients. Banks, businesses, courts, government offices – all were faced with blank, inactive computer screens that many cal the “blue screen of death.” The culprit? A software update pushed to Windows devices by cybersecurity company CrowdStrike.

    Host Elahe Izadi speaks with technology reporter Joseph Menn about what happened inside CrowdStrike, and what this incident tells us about the state of the cybersecurity industry.

    Today’s show was produced by Ali Bianco, with help from Sabby Robinson and Trinity Webster-Bass. It was edited by Reena Flores and Ariel Plotnick and mixed by Sean Carter. Thanks to James Graff.

Great Insight

I enjoy hearing in-depth reporting and hearing the story beyond the story reported in the paper.

Being a news-junkie, listening while preparing dinner is a real highlight to my day.

The Sibilance are near torture. Please de-es your vocals.

I miss the Washington Post daily digest. It was discontinued because apparently it was decided that podcasts had made it irrelevant. Podcasts are no substitute in any way shape or form. Its like comparing apples and libraries.

But when the digest was discontinued I was forced to compromise with the post digest.

I like the hosts and they do a good job.

I wish they weren’t posted the day after.

The main issue I have is that the sibilance are near torture. They are so painful especially when wearing headphones which I assume is how most people listen. De-essing is a thing. Please do it. The guests are particularly bad for this, I assume because they are not professionals speaking into professional mics with pop filters at an appropriate distance.

Simply the best news program available!

Martine Powers brings intelligence and a joyous attitude to the daily podcast. She asks interviewees the questions that I haven’t thought of yet and pursues the responses with energy and purpose. Go Martine!!!

I miss the digest

Every morning I knew I could catch up on what was going on in the country and the world AND get world class comments and opinions. Now… I get a short podcast on one subject. They are, in all honesty, well done. I just miss the news summary.

Sad substitute for digest

Pretty lame substitute for what what once the full Washington Post digest.

Lacks breadth and ads are fairly annoying.

my library is full of these but they are transitory in value and context is unclear
