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...

It's a fair point but I would rather diversify and also use something that is open / less opaque

Some intern is getting their ass beat right now, never release into prod without extensive test.

It's likely not an intern's fault. Likely a C suite not authorizing the testing infrastructures requested by the developers and sysops people.
