CrowdStrike to vendors: Sorry for the global tech outage. Here’s a $10 Uber Eats voucher | CNN Business
www.cnn.com
When reports came out Wednesday afternoon that CrowdStrike sent out $10 Uber Eats vouchers to partners — i.e. the third-party agents selling CrowdStrike to customers and managing their day-to-day needs — as a token of apology for making their lives miserable during the worst global tech outage in history, there were three main buckets of reactions.

    Which didn’t work because the account was marked as fraudulent.

    I got the crowdstrike email and made a joke on that eddit site in the \systemadmin about it. Not long after and before it blew up I was asked by BBC journalist in a pm to be interviewed by phone about my reaction and provide a copy to them.

    Crazy shit

      About the worthless UberEats voucher? Nah.

      About the worthless kernel-level code and non-existent QA costing customers serious hours of labor? Now we’re talking. Where do I sign?

        Does the EULA say something about warranty or liability?
        I’m curious if it can be challenged during a trial.

    I think for legal reasons these corporations have to offer something so they can point to that when they are sued. If they simply stand pat, and offer nothing, it goes to show absolute contempt, this only shows almost absolute contempt, which in the end will be worth billions in damages.
