1801: Hate of Speech
Brussels Airport Outage, Collins Aerospace, and OS/2 Warp
A major IT outage at Brussels Airport and other European hubs is attributed to software issues at Collins Aerospace, a defense contractor. The hosts speculate on whether this was a cyberattack or a competitive "hit job." This leads to an anecdote about the 1990s "OS/2 Warp" era and Steve Ballmer's alleged attempts to crash IBM's "crash-proof" operating system.
