That's nasty - but isn't Microsoft to blame there?

This is obviously Microsoft's fault, right?

mariusmg | karma 1780 | avg karma 3.02 · | 2015-06-24 04:08:18

Yes, it's clearly Microsoft's fault here. Geez.....

How’s that Microsoft’s fault?

Exactly how is this Microsoft's fault?

Microsoft is messed up in many ways.

Now you see that it's not only Microsoft problem...

It's like trying to stop a natural disaster. Microsoft products are cursed.

dancemethis | karma 157 | avg karma 0.6 · | 2021-11-17 10:53:21

Microsoft is improper.

Doesn't it makes you wonder why MS created that situation on the first place?

MS have no one to blame except themself and their 'legacy code'.

Looks like a serious problem with Microsoft products and they are shifting the blame as a China problem. Microsoft should put out better software.

In fairness, it sounds like this was Asus, not Microsoft's fault.

GabeIsko | karma 292 | avg karma 2.01 · | 2023-11-20 18:24:40

Yeah it's bad. But it's also why Microsoft can't really roll them over. They actually do something and get payed for it, as horrible as it is.

darthrupert | karma 1063 | avg karma 0.9 · | 2022-06-17 00:07:26

Yep. As I mentioned elsewhere on the pyright/pylance issue: Microsoft are scumbags.

carlivar | karma 1728 | avg karma 3.11 · | 2022-02-17 23:17:21

It was so bad, even Microsoft couldn't make it work properly for themselves!

The user has noticed, and is incorrectly blaming Microsoft for the software’s problems. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27524888

I don't think it was MS that did that, just sloppy third-party developers.

Microsoft has refrained from attributing this incident to nation-state actors just yet.

They can always blame "accidental human error."

This reminds me of the Kayak/Bing Travel issue from July and similar incidents before that. It's easy enough to blame some contractors at a distant outpost but the frequency with which these things happen around Microsoft certainly leads to the conclusion that they are bad actors and poor citizens.

jeanlucas | karma 962 | avg karma 2.17 · | 2022-06-24 06:31:13

I can't believe Microsoft is allowing this fuck up happen
