CrowdStrike outage

Forums:

CrowdStrike outage affects Microsoft systems worldwide.

Seems like a big deal for banks, airlines, big commerce - I'm surprised not to see a thread about it. Anyone here affected by it? Are global outages commonplace now? No, I don't think so.

The net was designed without a center so that it could weather all sorts of difficulties, but when a number of companies all rely on a single vendor, like CrowdStrike, widespread problems like outages become much more likely.

Great name for a company dealing with a global outage 

Usually my guys get their pay deposited at midnight. 7 received by noon. 3 still waiting.

Uggggggggg

Thanks to the federal government's ongoing enjoyment of having a stick up its ass for cannabis banking, I only deal in cash, so hip-hip- hooray for paper currency.  I had to look up CrowdStrike.

Be a great band name opening for Wide Spread Panic.

Delayed a package delivery from fedex. Was supposed to be here yesterday. They said if it does not arrive in 5 days, ask for refund.

I had my flight canceled yesterday.  All rental cars were gone but had my sons car and ended up making the drive home.  It's funny for someone who used to drive across the country following a band, I don't enjoy the road trips as much as I used to.    

Just checked the flight they put me on today and it had been canceled too.   I figured it would have all been resolved in a day or two.  Silly me. 

my hotel payment got fucked up from over the weekend and, after 40 minutes on hold with the membership folks, realized everybody is calling this day. i will hit them back up on weds
