It's so easy to complain when you get bad service / delivery / etc, I feel it's also important to shout out the opposite.

Today's hat tip is to Axminster Tools. Placed an order for a few bits this evening and not only was the whole ordering/checkout process very simple, I still had the option of free delivery after entering my post code.

Anyone in the north of Scotland knows how rare that is. Highly recommended.

I'm seeing a lot of gloaty Mac / Linux folks around today. It's worth noting that Crowdstrike's Falcon is cross platform - Windows, Mac and Linux. Had the dice landed differently any one of these platforms could have been equally affected.

We had been internally trialling it on all three (including my own personal MacBook), and have for the time being pull it from all test systems.

Strange times we live in when high-end enterprise grade security software can do more harm than the things it's trying to protect you from.
