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.

Edit: now being told we (who almost all generally work from home) need to come into the office Monday as they can only apply the fix in-person. We'll see if that changes over the weekend...

CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. is an American cybersecurity technology company based in Austin, Texas.

Never trust a texan

To be fair Austin is the least Texan of Texas

Is it still at all Austiney though? With all the companies moving to Austin, I wonder how much of the original Austin is left.

That's my point, also same with Salt Lake City Utah
