Some of these memes are gold.
We're going in September. Think they will have this rebooted by then?![ROFL :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f923.png)

I wasn't affected at all at work. Our non-technical staff is on Windows, but everything that matters is on macOS, Linux or FreeBSD. All websites and network services I needed run just fineGot to work this morning and found that the internet was down for the whole company (world). I couldn't really do my job since I need node npm and that always connects to the internet. Of course I'm using macOS so saying it didn't affect Mac is pretty wrong. Not affected directly but the whole business world runs on Windows (alas).
So what is the smart play: short CrowdStrike and MS, or buy Apple?Moral of the story is not to base critical infrastructure on windows.

The (world) thing was hyperbole but I have to say trying to be a developer in the modern world without internet is quite painful. I don't know what part of the IT infrastructure here uses CrowdStrike (I'm a contractor with my own equipment) but no one had internet. If I had known, I could have brought my iPad and tethered to that but my iPhone tethering is severely throttled.I wasn't affected at all at work.

I tried to search for this and found that the 737 MAX has indeed had problems with windows... its physical window frames, that is.Aren't there some planes that have MS Windows systems controlling them? I though I read that the first issues with the Boeing MAX jets was due to a bug in the MS software.
We are a Windows shop at work and we were unaffected. Then again we don’t use Crowdstrike, and all our important stuff is behind a taclane.I wasn't affected at all at work.

So Windows is okay where there aren’t any good practical alternatives?If I was in charge of a company's IT department, the number of servers running a MS product would be none of them. It just dumbfounds me that professionals would use a MS system in any server when there are good, practical alternatives.
Not even then.So Windows is okay where there aren’t any good practical alternatives?
Wow, is that real?From my travels today.

Yep. Laguardia airport, Terminal C.Wow, is that real?

That would likely qualify as securities fraud, no?security head at crowdstrike sold his stock the day before?
if he knew what was going to happen, then quite possibly.That would likely qualify as securities fraud, no?
