            If they accepted a refund for the flights, it’s probably too late unfortunately.

            But for next time, airlines are required by law to rebook you in a timely manner. Even if it’s on a competitor’s flight. If they fail to do this, you can get home any way you choose then send them the invoice. If they refuse, small claims will force them to pay. Ideally record any conversations you have with them and keep all receipts.

    This is going to be a class action suit, and it’s going to put them out of business, which is good and proper in this context.

      Kind of like what happened with McAfee! Just don’t look up

      Who was CTO of McAfee when an update bricked millions of computers by deleting svchost.exe

      George Kurtz, the CEO and co-founder of Crowdstrike

        It’s just so insane to me that c-suites are able to fail upwards after catastrophic failures like that.

        Incidentally, the guy who’s in charge of Google’s search division these days is the guy who was in charge of Yahoo’s search division during the period of time when the went from neck and neck for top dog to “I guess only Japan uses us now” 🤭

        Naaahhhh, this isn’t JUST a greedy fuck who wandered in to muck and needs a haul out. This is a greedy fuck who got in the way of other greedy fucks stealing their bag.

        The other greedy fucks are at least going to make sure to draw a little blood.

      If you went to Romania, you could buy 33 loaves of bread and still have 0.1 USD left(i would have gave the equivalent for a country where bread is cheaper if i knew the price of any)

      You probably cant travel to Romania with 0.1 USD(or even with 10 USD) and i dont think the damage that caused was equivalent to 33 loaves of bread, but how could have they known that? Maybe they think everyone can teleport everywhere else for 0.1 USD and think bread is worth more than gold

      Yes and no. Plenty of security options that actually work. Not necessarily ones that can make all the promises of clownstrike, but only some moronic cto would buy in to marketing hype …
