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.

Yep, anything done on Friday can enter the world on a Monday.
I don’t really have any plans most weekends, but I sure as shit don’t plan on spending it fixing Friday’s fuckups.
And honestly, anything that can be done Monday is probably better done on Tuesday. Why start off your week by screwing stuff up?

If things go sideways, we come in on Thu to straighten it out, but that almost never happens.
