Live: Global IT outage affecting banks, airlines, media outlets across the world
www.abc.net.au
There are reports of IT outages affecting major institutions in Australia and internationally.

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.

      There’s a shit ton more reasons than that, but in short: I highly doubt anyone suggesting a company just up and leave the MS ecosystem has spent any considerable amount of time in a sysadmin position.

        You’ll find xp in use because they don’t want to pay for a new system

        And Linux/BSD is way more expensive because not as many people are familiar with it
