Now George doesn’t even fill out online paper work, apparently…
He’ll get to it!

Yeah, I can just laugh not cry now, because all of my “when will he just f*ing finish it?!” frustration has been displaced by Patrick Rothfuss (no pressure, Pat, just please please if you care about us at all…
)
Two is one, and one is none.
I should have expected that.
The cause was a pushed update to Crowdstrike, which is a service which runs a daemon on a computer which monitors activity and reports back to a cloud to try and detect anything sufficiently “weird” which might be an attack and need to be shut down.
This update causes MS hosts to bluescreen; as it was pushed out, entire companies watched their PCs and windows servers shut down in front of them in waves.
Linux and Mac are unaffected.
Crowdstrike have issued a workaround and a patch.
Workaround Steps:
- Boot Windows into Safe Mode or the Windows Recovery Environment
- Navigate to the C:\Windows\System32\drivers\CrowdStrike directory
- Locate the file matching “C-00000291*.sys”, and delete it.
- Boot the host normally.
I am glad not to be an IT tech today. Although I was hoping for a quiet work day. Darn these macs.
They pay taxes so I get healthcare.
