Not surprising to me that the city government depends so much on proprietary software, but disappointing. Wonder what kind of day that Finnish-American Portlander is having.
Not closely at all; blissfully ignorant here in the peanut gallery :) Just read up a bit:
CrowdStrike says users should boot the computer into Safe Mode or Windows Recovery Environment, navigate to the CrowdStrike directory, and delete the faulty file “C-00000291*.sys.”
I read “users” as “IT support”, and “the computer” as “every affected computer in your organization”. I don’t envy those poor folks in IT. Well I often do actually, but not today!

I don’t know how close you’ve been following it, but CrowdStrike pushed an updated config file that contained 42kb of 0’s.
On reboot, Windows machines BSOD.

Yeah, the alternate solution is to try re-booting 15 times.
If that actually worked tho everything woulda been back up and running in no time lol
