A service I use at work had an outage, but it made little difference to me.

Not at all. No personal PC problems and none at work that impacted me (if any existed). Edit: and I didn't go anywhere that day that was impacted, although that seems more lucky since I did stop by a McDonalds for the first time in a month or more since it was in the shopping area my wife and I were at and several McD's were impacted in Japan, apparently.

I got to sit around work for like 2ish hours while they got everything back up and running.

crowdstrike? did i miss something?

Somehow it seems to have only affected other people I've heard from on Lemmy.

It only affected our time clock system. So we just used paper timecards for a week while IT worked on getting it back up.

Professionally, not at all. My company doesn't use Crowdstrike. Unlike one of my former employers who had thousands of systems down for days. The Field techs there made a killing in overtime.

Personally: My (54m) oldest kid (17m) was stuck at Laguardia for 10 hours. Fortunately, a great gate agent at LGA got him on a flight that evening, with a first class upgrade, to get him into an airport about 1.5 hour drive from the house. I picked him up at midnight and home by 1:30.

Schadenfreude.

It didn’t at all. I refuse to run Microsoft products at home and in the cloud. At work I learned some Postgres database servers are running inside virtualized Linux on Windows hosts, which is kind of disgusting.
