It’s impacting the ports too. A few terminals are down because of this bullshit.

Gg Mercedes in Hungary this weekend lol

Edit:

well fk... no wonder server went down yesterday evening. I was planning to get some work done. Woke up early this morning hoping whatever was the issue would be resolved by now... but nope.

whitev70r 07-19-2024 06:44 AM

Airports, planes, banks, healthcare, and many businesses affected. Make it a long weekend folks ... take the day off work.

RabidRat 07-19-2024 06:53 AM

Man. The one time I book Porter instead of Air Canada, it's Porter affected and not AC. They've grounded their flights.

Could be stuck in Montreal tonight! :p

1. Update was pushed on a Friday (or Thursday depending where you lived)
2. Update wasn't tested and pushed directly to production (if update was thoroughly tested, how was it not caught?)
3. Update wasn't staged by geographical location and was released worldwide all at once

There's probably more fuck ups you can add to the list, but those were the major ones that stood out to me.

Yeah one more, they released on Friday. Everyone in tech knows not to do releases on Fridays.

Try the strippers and this restaurant in the old port.

Good atmosphere and meat.

I work at Amazon right now, they don't use Crowdstrike and they don't use Azure(obviously) either and most ppl are on Macs

underscore 07-19-2024 08:48 AM

I imagine any IT department that does staggered updates is feeling pretty smug right now.

PeanutButter 07-19-2024 10:38 AM

What's more crazy to me is that Crowdstrike has a PE ratio of 567 right now...This might be the most overvalued company in the history of companies.

Imagine paying $567 for every $1 of earnings for a company and this is after a -12% day. Who's buying this stock? That is crazy.

CivicBlues 07-19-2024 11:59 AM

Traditional P/E logic doesn't really make sense with tech companies though. And 567 isn't the highest https://www.marketbeat.com/market-data/high-pe-stocks/

Hondaracers stock tip of the day - Nintendo

Used to hold Nintendo a few years back and made a nice little profit, sold my whole position though. I listen to a few gaming podcast that continually review the Nintendo directs etc.

The replacement for the switch will likely be coming in 2025, holiday 2025 would be perfect.

As well, Nintendo is likely to cut the price of all switches for this Christmas, and as a result, may take the crown as the best selling console of all time prior to the next gen being released.

Honestly this feels like as much of a slam dunk for a double digit profit in a 1.5 year period or so as I’ve felt in a while as a totally amateur investor lol. Also investing in companies I use and like seems to always result in a nice pay day.

Luckily when I joined my company several years ago, we were pretty piss poor so the previous IT folks went with Sophos, lol.

Our firewalls are going EOL next year. At one point, I had considered switching the Sophos out with Fortigates + going with Crowdstrike as the EDR.

Will probably reconsider now.

My close friend is a pilot for Porter. He lives in Vancouver but works out of Toronto at the moment (they are opening a Vancouver base in October so that's great for him)

He's worried he won't be able to hop on a flight back to Toronto to start his shift tomorrow.

Told him to start driving his ass cross country.

PSA: I'm pleased to report that the rumours that Chicken Lady of LA Chicken fame is alive and well and working at LA Chicken are real. While she may have put on 20lbs since I last saw her she was spotted working collaboratively with her ex-husband, aka Chicken Man, during the lunch hour service.

In other news, the chicken still rocks and they still don't salt their fries.

Before, we had very basic stuff until we got a new CIO and then a breach happened a week after he was appointed CIO lmao. Emergency deployment of DarkTrace + upgrading our Fortigates, nothing like a good scare to get the money flowing.

DarkTrace seems to be pretty damn cool IMO.

I feel like PE always makes sense, even for tech stocks. At the very least, it'll give you a gauge on the riskiness of the stock. Anyone buying a company with a PE of 567, must really believe in the growth of the company long term.

I get that tech stocks will trade at higher multiples, but if you're above a 100 PE, the company must have some serious growth potential, like 100% quarter over quarter growth for starters.

What a fucking rookie error by CRWD and honestly think the company is amazing, heavily invested in them with avg cost hovering around $90~

After what happened today, I might rebalance a good chunk of my CRWD and take some profits.

whitev70r 07-19-2024 03:32 PM

After today, CRWD might drop to $9 per share.

whitev70r 07-19-2024 07:33 PM

Do you think there will be litigation or class-action against CrowdStrike?

bcrdukes 07-20-2024 07:19 AM

Litigation - yes. Outcomes may likely be settled out of court.

Class-action - unlikely

I’m at Walmart this morning (7am)
https://i.postimg.cc/pr9LRptQ/IMG-9690.jpg

Saw this epic thing for 99 dollars ! That ain’t bad
Even has his iconic helmet painted correctly

Traum 07-20-2024 09:49 AM

I was at Toy R Us the other day and saw this too, but it was definitely selling for over $100.

Gumby 07-20-2024 09:51 AM

TRU often sells LEGO sets at higher than MSRP.

Biggest complaint for that set is the front and rear wheels are the same width... To correct this, hardcore fans have bought 3D printed tires.
