CrowdStrike effectively bricked windows, Mac and Linux today.

Windows machines won’t boot, and Mac and Linux work is abandoned because all their users are on twitter making memes.

Incredible work.

I wish my Windows work machine wouldn’t boot. Everything worked fine for us. :-(

Could be worse. I was the only member of my entire team who didn't get stuck in a boot loop, meaning I had to do their work as well as my own... Can't even blame being on Linux as my work computer is Windows 11, I got 'lucky'; I just got a couple of BSODs and the system restarted just fine.

[-] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 56 points 2 months ago

Funny, mine did a couple BSODs then restarted just fine, at first. Then a fist shaped hole appeared in the monitor and it wouldn't turn on again.

Weird bug.

Lol why is it always the monitor to get beat. It only has one job, just to show you what the computer is outputting lol

why is it always the monitor to get beat

Because it's within arm's reach and the developers aren't.

[-] Gestrid@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 months ago

But the computer is within leg's reach.

You don't kick the box because it hurts more. If people would only wear the proper steel toe computing shoes more crap computers would get their just desserts.

[-] Gestrid@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago

You just have to use the side of your foot (like in soccer) instead of the front.

Back in the day it was a very think pane of glass that I couldn't really harm. Now, I do not punch the monitor.

[-] UltraMagnus0001@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Was the keyboard for my friend.

[-] StupidBrotherInLaw@lemmy.world 21 points 2 months ago

You're a much more honest person than I am. I'd have just claimed mine was BSODing too.

[-] a_wild_mimic_appears@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 months ago

Since it's affidavit@lemm.ee, it would be illegal to be dishonest.

I'll see myself out.
