I was wondering here who all had experienced trouble due to that third party update error.

It has not impacted me personally, it's just all over the news.

Yes, I saw various news stories. It's mucked up all kinds of business processes--including air travel.

And healthcare in some areas. I don't know what Crowdstrike's E&O coverage is like, nor what their contractual obligations to their larger clients may be, but this looks like it might hurt the company a bit. As it should.

I've heard that too about healthcare/hospitals/911.

Mind numbing!

This is the 2017 Freightliner eCascadia, the first EV long-haul tractor. On a level surface and pulling half of a standard shipping container in weight, it can go 160 miles.

I like this meme generator where you can have Kamala Harris hold a variety of LPs by typing in a title. It's certainly not exact, it just pulls the closest album to what you searched for, but I am still having fun as you can see.

Love it!

Particularly the Sibelius one; I know, I'm a little bit partial to Sibelius.

I didn't take it that way. If someone posted a specific Radiohead album cover, perhaps... but it doesn't seem political despite who is in the picture, just like AS's post on the same page.

Note that the two albums I selected could be put into the hands of literally any US politician or other public figure. Imagine Ozzy holding Mickey Mouse Disco. Other albums that could be universally applied:

So, if I posted a picture of a bleeding Trump with the fist raised, surrounded by security agents, with the text "A courageous guy" --- it wouldn't be deleted, right? After all, courage in facing imminent danger is apolitical and commendable, ain't it?

I can answer for this since I started it. To me it's just funny internet memes. It's more about the album cover and suggesting you like that album. So more of an analogy would be if you Photoshop Trump with a defiant raised fist into, like, a boxing ring and Mike Tyson just bit his ear.
