All our servers and company laptops went down at pretty much the same time. Laptops have been bootlooping to blue screen of death. It's all very exciting, personally, as someone not responsible for fixing it.

Apparently caused by a bad CrowdStrike update.

Edit: now being told we (who almost all generally work from home) need to come into the office Monday as they can only apply the fix in-person. We'll see if that changes over the weekend...

I'm not against using Google, stack exhange, man pages, apropos, tldr, etc. but if you're trying to advertise competence with a skillset but you can't do the basics and frankly it is still essentially a mystery to you then youre just being dishonest. Sure use all tools available to you though because that's a good thing to do.

Just because someone breathed air in the same space occasionally over the years where a tool exists does not mean that they can honestly say that those are years of experience with it on a resume or whatever.

Capitalism makes them to.
