In-reply-to » Some bad code just broke a billion Windows machines - YouTube -- This is a really good accurate and comical take on what happened with this whole Crowdstrike global fuck up.

@prologic@twtxt.net I reckon, it’s just so that they can say: “Oh, whoopsy daisy. Too bad that you fell for our trap. Sorry, it’s entirely your own fault. Go away, leave us alone.”

The bullet point 8.6 continues right away (I forgot the ellipsis in my initial quote, excuse me):

[…] Customer agrees that it is Customer’s responsibility to ensure safe use of an Offering and the CrowdStrike Tools in such applications and installations. CROWDSTRIKE DOES NOT WARRANT ANY THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS OR SERVICES.

And in the one before that:

8.5 No Guarantee. CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES, UNDERSTANDS, AND AGREES THAT CROWDSTRIKE DOES NOT GUARANTEE OR WARRANT THAT IT WILL FIND, LOCATE, OR DISCOVER ALL OF CUSTOMER’S OR ITS AFFILIATES’ SYSTEM THREATS, VULNERABILITIES, MALWARE, AND MALICIOUS SOFTWARE, AND CUSTOMER AND ITS AFFILIATES WILL NOT HOLD CROWDSTRIKE RESPONSIBLE THEREFOR.

In other words: “Just give us your money and hope for the best. It might work. Maybe.” Nope, of course it doesn’t.
