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.

    I need to run windows software that makes other windows software, that will be run on our customers (who pay us quite well) PCs that also run windows.

    Plus gaming. I’m not switching my primary box to Linux at any point. If I get a mini server, that will probably ruin Linux.

      Mingw, but whatever. Maybe there is somethong mingw can’t do.

      Unless it is Apex and some other worst offenders or you use GPU from the only company actively hostile to linux, gaming is fine.
