CrowdStrike effectively bricked windows, Mac and Linux today.

Windows machines won’t boot, and Mac and Linux work is abandoned because all their users are on twitter making memes.

Incredible work.

      Could be worse. I was the only member of my entire team who didn’t get stuck in a boot loop, meaning I had to do their work as well as my own… Can’t even blame being on Linux as my work computer is Windows 11, I got ‘lucky’; I just got a couple of BSODs and the system restarted just fine.

        Funny, mine did a couple BSODs then restarted just fine, at first. Then a fist shaped hole appeared in the monitor and it wouldn’t turn on again.

        Weird bug.

            Because it’s within arm’s reach and the developers aren’t.

                You don’t kick the box because it hurts more. If people would only wear the proper steel toe computing shoes more crap computers would get their just desserts.

            Back in the day it was a very think pane of glass that I couldn’t really harm. Now, I do not punch the monitor.

        You’re a much more honest person than I am. I’d have just claimed mine was BSODing too.
