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…
Was it actually pushed on Friday, or was it a Thursday night (US central / pacific time) push? The fact that this comment is from 9 hours ago suggests that the problem existed by the time work started on Friday, so I wouldn’t count it as a Friday push. (Still, too many pushes happen at a time that’s still technically Thursday on the US west coast, but is already mid-day Friday in Asia).
I’m in Australia so def Friday. Fu crowdstrike.
Seems like you should be more mad at the International Date Line.
