CrowdStrike effectively bricked windows, Mac and Linux today.

Windows machines won’t boot, and Mac and Linux work is abandoned because all their users are on twitter making memes.

Incredible work.

Imagine this happening during open heart surgery and all the monitors go blue!

Good lord I would hope critical surgical computers like that aren't networked externally... Somehow I'm guessing I'm wrong.

~~Critical surgery computers may also be running under Windows LTSC, so they might not get the CrowdStrike patch. Maybe...~~

Edit: So the issue is apparently caused by CrowdStrike. So, unless the surgery computers also use CrowdStrike then it would be fine. Unless, of course, if they use CrowdStrike on surgery computers...
