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.

    Meh, that’s an easy fix compared to some other BSODs I’ve had to deal with.

    The every device part is daunting but again, at least it’s an easy fix.

      But have those ever been released as an update?

      And with the employee to computer ratio only getting worse, this really highlights a lot of issues in the system

          That’s actually really funny, I’m more of a Linux user so I didn’t realise how down bad things are over there
