      Maybe don’t use Microsoft for critical infrastructure? The world has gone crazy.

        Also, don’t use Texas software in your critical jobs? They are used to turning power off whenever…

          Their inferior electrical grid is how they stick it to the man and let ‘em know that Texas could secede if they wanted to!

              To be honest, I was expecting a worse reaction, but we’ll see when the market opens. I’m not selling, though.

                CrowdStrike Says Global IT Outage Impacting Windows PCs, But Mac and Linux Hosts Not Affected

                CrowdStrike Says Global IT Outage Impacting Windows PCs, But Mac and Linux Hosts Not Affected

                A widespread system failure is currently affecting numerous Windows devices globally, causing critical boot failures across various industries, including banks, rail networks, airlines, retailers, broadcasters, healthcare, and many more sectors.

                The workaround to break the infinite boot cycle on affected Windows machines involves manually booting into safe mode, navigating to the CrowdStrike directory, and deleting the system file that caused the problem.

                They can’t roll out a fix remotely and the place I work has over 10k employees spread across timezones all over the world. What a headache.

                Edit: at least there is a fix. I can’t imagine the size of the lawsuits if they actually bricked all those PCs. The disruption to business would be horrendous.

                    Well now I’m conflicted:

                    several rail networks over the world have ground to a halt.

                              Your business can be brought down even faster than 62 minutes if you let Crowdstrike help!!!

                                  Damn it!

                                  I can’t adjust the temperature in the pool this morning using the Hayward App.

                                  What am I supposed to do now???

                                  Must I walk out back to the pool panel and make manual adjustments?

                                      It was a CRS update patch that caused this.

                                            Just passed in front of my bank and there are employees outside telling people that only the ATM machines are working right now.
