Microsoft cloud outage

I keep telling the wife that if I don’t keep buying firearms & ammo that I won’t be able to be the warlord during the apocalypse.

You should be entirely safe as long as you don't post it on a public foru.....nevermind.

I just want to publicly state that I am currently poor and will still be poor if the apocalypse happens.

My medical software has been out all day as the backend is on MS cloud. Darn, no work.

Eric Erickson reports it was a company called "cloud strike" software update that was bad.

And to think the .gov wants everyone to go digital currency only. I been saying it for years that if you rely on a computer to run things it will collapse at some point and then where will everyone be.

Crowdstrike. It's a security software used by many, many companies. They've said it is NOT a hack or terrorists. A software issue. Haven't seen/read any of the details. FedEx is being impacted.

Details​

• Symptoms include hosts experiencing a bugcheck\blue screen error related to the Falcon Sensor.
• Windows hosts which have not been impacted do not require any action as the problematic channel file has been reverted.
• Windows hosts which are brought online after 0527 UTC will also not be impacted
• Hosts running Windows 7/2008 R2 are not impacted
• This issue is not impacting Mac- or Linux-based hosts
• Channel file "C-00000291*.sys" with timestamp of 0527 UTC or later is the reverted (good) version.
• Channel file "C-00000291*.sys" with timestamp of 0409 UTC is the problematic version.
  • Note: It is normal for multiple "C-00000291*.sys files to be present in the CrowdStrike directory - as long as one of the files in the folder has a timestamp of 0527 UTC or later, that will be the active content.

We should be experiencing runs on the banks shortly.

I've been fighting this all day at work. Those in charge have no idea just how fragile their penny wise, pound foolish, corporate policies have made their companies.
