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...

Your computer was likely not powered on during the time window between the fucked update pushing out and when they stopped pushing it out.

That makes sense, although I must have just missed it, for people I work with to catch it.
