Stupid hackers. You missed my work laptop. All my programs still work. I wanted to stay home today 😖

[tres-adames]

I wanna go back to landline phones, cd players, physical calendars, and the ability to ignore work completely when I leave the office.

First You learn about programming, never release an untested software

I experienced this few days ago, now then on the news?

[shaundejwan]

I thought I was the only one having problems last night, I was stressing out!

[enriquetorres]

Updating doesn’t take that long and does no disrupt the system the way it’s doing now this was a cyberattack!!!

[nupe]

Go take a look at the leadership team... what do you notice...

[RobUKTH]

Not surprised, it's MS Windows! 🙄 This is one of the key reasons I and my business switched from Windows decades a go. 😎. Hope they get it sorted!

"does this show us that were maybe too interconnected and dependent on these technologies?"
Ya think? 🤔

My Moms work couldn't logon without the bsod

Crowd strike I don’t believe is the problem. We all have experience problems with Microsoft online updates. Microsoft is trying to save face it. I strongly believe it is Microsoft who has made the big mistake this time.

It's just war games they are the testing the effects of all their moves ..it's a big game of chess slowly progressing to war

Why didn't they tried to rollback to the previous version of software, it's very strange from such tech giant

[jaymorgenthal]

I worked for the old bell system and one of my jobs was doing maintenance on a electronic switching system that connected thousands of calls an hour. From time to time we did software updates in the middle of the night. We would install the update but keep a copy of the previous memory in the event the update failed the system and we could go back to the old software. These idiots did an update last night but didn’t leave themselves a way to go back if it dumped the system which it sure as hell as did.

Bro i was trying to log into my xbox account last night around 6:30 Central Time, thought it was just me

[wcemichael]

HA.. I still use Win 10 and hardly ever update

[fredwu]

No kidding. I have experienced it quite a few times in past couple years. I always thought that it has something to do with my computer. Now I realize its probably due to a software problem. My guess anyway. Recent happenings worldwide could be that the tiny problems I have experienced may have been enlarged significantly to the point of surfacing worldwide. My view anyway. My sympathy for people that their daily work depends on it.

[GH-oijf]

It shows us that updates should not be installed as soon as they arrive. I never want to be the first to install an update.

[ruthieo]

Of course we are too dependent and interconnected.

Is that why my laptop that runs on windows turns on but the screen is black 😭
