Y2K would have been CRTs. But it's not like kids will know that.
Hey we had flat screens back then, they just took up the whole floor space and it took 2 people to move those projection TVs
Laptops also had LCDs. Just don't move your mouse too fast or the screen can't keep up and it'll disappear
You're thinking of passive matrix displays. Those were the cheaper option but active matrix screens did exist.
They did, but you had to pay a pretty penny to have one of those
Maybe even split-flap displays, or printed advertisements
As someone stuck in DTW, I feel the pain.
Down to win?
Bro do you even lingo? It's obviously Down To Wedgie, that's why he's in pain
No, no, no. It's clearly a city since the photo is flight info boards. Clearly he means Dallas Tort Worth, it's a little tiny place unlike its bigger brother DFW.
Of course mate, and unlike its sibling, it Doesn't Fuck Walruses
You sure it's not DownTon Wrappy?
Is this the Denver airport?
Yeah
Ironically it was more of a hassle than y2k ended up being lol
Y2K24
Also, half the team must be on summer vacation
What happened?
An update to a cybersecurity software suite called CrowdStrike caused Windows machines to BSOD. CrowdStrike was big and monopolistic enough that it took out servees at large organizations worldwide.
How was this not tested by Microsoft in a virtual environment with a large set of test conditions before it was released? Does this not happen?
I don't expect that Microsoft checks CrowdStrike's software before CrowdStrike pushes their updates.
So this wasn't a windows update? Got it
Real men test in prod
Everyone has a test environment but only a few separate prod
And here I am having to deal with 4 environments.
