Global Microsoft Outage Creates Massive Chaos with some Banks, Airlines, 911, etc.

CrowdStrike fucked up big time with this one. 

I've been looking into what happened and realized it started last night. I was out with a friend, and the computers at the bar (I was just drinking water) were going through an endless bluescreen cycle.

Legit, though. My health issues prevent me from drinking alcohol now. I also didn't want caffeine that late at night.

It's Central California... there are no nice bars. I'll keep that in mind for the future though.

State of Wyoming Enterprise Technology Systems implemented CrowdStrike 2 weeks ago. I'm guessing that contract is getting tossed after the litany of issues we're having this morning.

There should be a non-performance clause somewhere in that contract, though usually only within the first 30-60 days.

Indiana Fever guard Erica Wheeler will have one crazy story to tell at WNBA All-Star Weekend—if she’s able to make it there on time.

Wheeler, who was chosen as one of five participants for the WNBA Skills Challenge on Friday, recently posted an unfortunate update on her traveling plans. The Fever star’s Delta Airlines flight to Phoenix was canceled last-minute, likely due to a global technology outage that hit Friday afternoon and forced Delta, among other airlines, to delay and cancel flights. 

To make matters worse, there were no available same-day flights for her to make it to the Footprint Center in time for the Skills Challenge, which starts at 6 p.m. ET. 

Wheeler wrote on X:

“UPDATE: FLIGHT CANCELLED So yaaaaaa no airlines have flight leaving out in time to make it to PHX in time for the Skills Challenge! The one friend I have that have a PJ, pilot has maxed out on his hours to fly til Tuesday so wow! WHAT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW !”

Go check out the Cow Track in Oakdale. Best bar in the valley by far. Tell Charlie that “The Saddam Hussein of Shuffleboard” sent ya, he’ll know what and who you’re talking about.

I should be getting an RCA to look at from a friend soon... I’m really curious what went wrong other than it not going through proper QC. What I’ve heard so far is that it had to do with integration with the embedded AV processes.

easy to tell who was running older windows passed systems.

My buddy was flying out of Vegas Saturday.  He said he was able to get out because Southwest run off Windows 92.  I now believe him.

Stuck in Dallas right now. Sprinted through the airport and missed our connection to Doha by 5 mins. They gave us a hotel, but it was 30 mins away from the airport and no way of getting there. Had to pay for a $60 Uber 😕

With all the hotels in and around the airport, they sent you 30 minutes away?
