The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I'm starting to see some blame being directed at Crowdstrike for the "IT failure" this morning that canceled flights all around the world.

Yes, they are the ones to blame. They get 100% of it. Completely irresponsible to roll an update like this. My company is a customer and roughly 25% of our internet connected Windows desktops were affected.

That said, I would rather deal with something like this than a ransomware attack. I had all of my machines back on-line within 2 hours.

CRWD cannot afford for something like this to happen again, so my bet is that they will put procedures in place to make sure it can't. If they do not, we will start looking at other vendors.

I was lucky to trim in the 350's as well but I will look to add more after the dust settles. The stock is very expensive so I think we will get a chance to buy it lower.
