Major IT outage affecting banks, airlines, media outlets across the world - eviltoast

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…

    You hold down Shift while restarting or booting and you get a recovery menu. I don’t know why they changed this behaviour.
