Microsoft tells admins to patch in three days. Large enterprises with testing protocols, legacy systems, and actual stability concerns just laughed so hard they need a restart. https://www.csoonline.com/article/4200366/microsofts-3-day-patching-directive-comes-with-added-operational-risk.html

@Javvad@infosec.exchange An yes, yet another modern day remake of the July 2010 Steve Jobs smash hit "You're Holding It Wrong"(tm). I'm tired of these shitty reboots. :thisisfine:

@Javvad@infosec.exchange I feel like I just woke up in 1996. Microsoft tells us to reboot Windows NT 3.5.1 every morning? Hahahah who would ever buy this dog shit. Surely they will be out of business soon.

@Javvad@infosec.exchange Why is it the Microsoft 365 director making this statement and not the ACTUAL head of Windows? Also under what actual guidelines/standards is the three day thing coming from? Or is it them just panicking without merit? Also is Microsoft prepared to release immediate fixes for the frequent situation where their patches aren't tested and break more than they fix?)

@Javvad@infosec.exchange @wendynather@infosec.exchange I would suggest something unusual, maybe even strange in our days : what if Microslop produced better code so that we wouldn’t be forced to patch everything every other day and be anxious about « will the server restart for sure because of shitty release that broke everything unrelated to the original matter » ? wouldn’t that be unheard of ? maybe even visionary, who knows 🤷🏼‍♂️
