Most stuff seems to be working, just a few services impacted. Does demonstrate how forced automatic updates is a bad thing though.

It's a Crowd Strike issue, jsut fixing some servers now with the issue.
Yeah was gonna say, the guys at our place are saying the same thing
Will be interesting to see what happens to their share price.

Apart from travel and medicine.. I'm not sure if the modern world is better tbh.
Oooft. Maybe time to pick up some cheap shares.

Thankfully, we don't use CrowdStrike.

Totally agree.
I genuinely think that computers/phones and the internet have made a lot of things worse.

Same, these are client servers, told them it was a risk having auto update.

Yeah I use technology we all do. But I don't think I'm any happier for it.
Some people live online now. Many friends I cannot get them out of the house at all. I only interact with them online

It certainly owns some people that’s for sure, myself included to an extent.

This issue and the M365 mess, means it's going to be a bad day for some people.

If you can log in.
Things like this are worrying.
I know it's unlikely, but one thing I've often thought about is just how damaging it would be if one of the main free email providers lost everyone's data/emails and access to their email address.
Hundreds of millions of people likely have their entire life's associated with a gmail or outlook account so I feel like it would be pretty cataclysmic if something like that were to happen.

This is why you have a robust and tested DR solution.

Give it a few hours and we’ll all be old enough to know life without internet.

Ah didn't realise that was (probably) a separate issue, had issues with SharePoint and related around 7am when I first became aware of this issue but it mostly seems back up now. Mostly what seems impacted at work, by this issue, it stuff which relies on external systems like payroll.

I suppose this is coupled up with Microsoft 365 issues.

Glad I quit IT. Just got so fed up of dealing with all this **** and nothing ever working/everything always changing every 2 seconds.
Has to be one of the least rewarding jobs ever.
"Oh so you've just finished learning how this thing works, and spent ages getting it to carry out the tasks you need it for? Sorry, it's all changed again now."
**** off.

We're reliant on it because it's made life easier, quicker, cheaper (in general terms), and in many cases better.
There's many times a year you get outages like these. **** happens and then people fix stuff and life goes on.
