Surely unrelated but this crowdstrike outage has been insane. I can only imagine how pissed 90% of companies are with crowdstrike and Microsoft right now.

Great day to be an Apple and Google user tho lol

Crazy too that it was literally one line of code in a small file in the program. I mean - to disable that much of EVERYTHING - couldn't a hacker now just find a way to install that exact file on a computer and BOOM! Disabled.

It's not even a hack, just one line of crap code that could now be used as a hack.

Right! I bought my first Google Chromebook back in 2016, and have never looked back!

However it sounds like if your computer was off at the time, then it may be unaffected.
