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...

Irrelevant but I keep reading "crowd strike" as "counter strike" and it's really messing with me

Think of it as ClownStrike, they will be known as a bunch of clowns after this.
