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...

best day ever. the digitards get a wakeup call. how often have been lectured by imbeciles how great whatever dumbo closed source is. "i need photoshop", "windows powershell and i get work done", "azure and onedrive and teams...best shit ever", " go use NT, nobody will use a GNU".

yeah well, i hope every windows user would be kept of the interwebs for a year and mac users just burn in hell right away. lazy scum that justifies shitting on society for their own comfort. while everyone needs a drivers license, dumb fucking parents give tiktok to their kids...idiocracy will have a great election this winter.

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.
