A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I mean any technology solution can suffer the same fate, but you would hope that it wouldnt be an issue at the same time if they're separate tech stacks.
The real solution is to not make anything that’s mission-critical reliant on Windows.
Specifically to make something which is not mission-critical reliant on any underlying software...but that's almost impossible. Not reliant on the base operating system would be a nice start.
I have friends still dealing with all kinds of airline troubles (basically stuck in cities for a week past their return date) and I can’t believe anyone would have so many mission-critical systems using Windows. Their infrastructure must be a mess.
