All our servers and company laptops went down at pretty much the same time. Laptops have been bootlooping to blue screen of death. It’s all very exciting, personally, as someone not responsible for fixing it.

Apparently caused by a bad CrowdStrike update.

Edit: now being told we (who almost all generally work from home) need to come into the office Monday as they can only apply the fix in-person. We’ll see if that changes over the weekend…

    While I get your point on the over reliance on Microsoft, some of us are going to be stuck spending the whole day trying to fix this shit. You could show some compassion.

      no. after decades…not anymore. again and again. there is no good excel, apple users are not “educated”. just assholes caring about themselves and avoiding the need to learn. i did not yet hear any valid argument.

      why not show compassion for driving bmw series 5 without a drivers license around kindergard?

      i’m seriously just done with every windows,android,osx user forever. digital trumps. thats all they are. me. me. me.

        So what do I tell the doctors who can’t care for their patients when I start work today? That it’s their fault leadership chose the software they did? Or do I swallow my pride and put the patients before everything else? Personally, I’m going to choose the latter as the patients wellbeing comes before my opinions about my hospitals choice in software.

          for one you could tell them your greed and laziness has led to this. when it was clear (windows3.11) that bill gates is a thief (qdos) and crook (mom make that ibm deal) you chose to stick with “easy”. ask the doctors how chosing that path would impact their work.

          what needs to happen to make you get you off your high horse and ditch close source? and please dont lecture me on " how hard it is to change"…youve shown that already.

          face the consequences of your actions.
