One lesson learned: CASH REMAINS KING when systems fail....DIGITAL CURRENCY will always be vulnerable....

Starbucks is down across the U.S. 🎉 just had an apocalyptic shift at work - corporate wanted money so we kept accepting orders, no printers were functioning, payment systems and monitors kept crashing…but yeah, submit your mobile order and be ready to wait 🫶🏽

Be kind to service workers today, we are trying! Flights and hospitals are obviously the most important industries we need back up and running. Get a coffee another time ✨🙌🏽

Nothing to see here. CrowdStrike is conducting another round of global production testing.

Who is to blame you ask ? ... Ask yourself why would you turn on auto update ?

[Lora-G]

Try unplugging it then plugging it in again😂

How come Microsoft is allowing to push the security patch into Production without testing it in their UAT or Canary?

How could the whole world's computers be brought down by ONE companies software ? We are hugely vulnerable to the bad guys !!!

I'm anxious to hear from my son..he's a flight attendant 😞. I'm sure he's very busy. Prayers please for all airline crew and passengers! Thank you!

On a Friday??? Common now Crowdstrike.

[machintelligence]

Nope that Southwest Airlines DIDN'T go down. Their semi-obsolete scheduling software apparently didn't use Crowdstrike.

As a full stack soft developer, this is what is going to happen when companies use A.I.

[danterivers]

AI is making there first of many moves

[terrydwyer]

Did they decide to test it on the world.
.huh....

I just came out of my house to get gas ⛽️ and been told no gas. Went to the next 3 gas stations still the same thing. Finally one guy told me no gas because of software issues and it’s all around the country. When I came to work the same thing happened.
What should Bill Gate say about it.

[InvisibleEnergy-syud]

HEARD MARK.TRIPPED OVER A WIRE AND BILL TRUED CATCH HIM ..DAM WIRES.😅

[rafaeljonathancamiloveraro]

And once again every 20 years people get hit by depending so much from Microsoft.

One day people shall learn a word: Linux 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪

[Lashley-jpbo]

So they decided to do an update on a Friday instead of Tues or wed?! The day many people get paid is Friday they decided to do it on without a test run. This is failed management!

[nickfanzo]

Meanwhile they don’t want you to have cash anymore 🤔

[michaelmerrifield]

Wouldn't they do a limited test before deploying update worldwide?
