snipped.How embarrassing. An Aussie is President of Crowdstrike.
Maybe that is why we had so many outages.
A favorite method that men are known to use is the yelling and cussing.Come to think of it the turn it off and on has been around way before the internet.
I've used that method ages ago with appliances, sometimes it worked.
If it didn't work, I had two other methods.
One I call my "whack whack" method where I give the gadget a hard whack
The other is a good talking to "if you don't fix yourself by morning, you're going in the rubbish bin!"
I have had varying degrees of success with all three methods.
The librarian at my high school insisted that the computers only worked properly if she swore at them.A favorite method that men are known to use is the yelling and cussing.
That method is sometimes successful.
And that's how kids learned interesting vocabulary back then.
There also was the ever-popular approach of Fix Until Rendered Useless.A favorite method that men are known to use is the yelling and cussing.

I disagree. My company had a major IT call at 5:30pm CST on Thursday as a lot of our applications were failing. About 2 hours in, it was determined that Microsoft Azure was having issues and it was all hands on deck trying to re-route thingssnipped.
I think it was a timing thing. The outage began around 11 PM in NYC. By the time the U.S. woke up on Friday the fix was known and IT staff were already implementing it. In contrast the outage hit at 2 PM in Sydney and there wouldn't even be anything anyone could do all afternoon until CrowdStrike could figure out how to mitigate the problem.

BBM: Thank you for explaining that part! When I saw the instructions somewhere telling users how to reboot the computer etc I thought "Really?!" lol. Now I see that it was more complicated.I was specifically referring to the CrowdStrike crash while it sounds like you're talking about a separate incident that occurred with Microsoft's Azure cloud.
These are actually two separate problems that occurred back-to-back. The first brought down Azure services in the Central US region. That occurred on Thursday, and was just being resolved as the CrowdStrike crash occurred. They were apparently unrelated, and it was just coincidence that they happened one right after the other.
I believe this was the worst outage that MS has ever had, but it was localized to computers that were accessing Azure servers from that one region. Companies that had built redundancy in their operations were able to function despite the outage. In comparison, the CrowdStrike incident affected computers worldwide and there was almost nothing any company could have done to avoid the crash.
That’s sketchy as F - Microsoft is piggybacking off the crowdstrike issue like nothing to see here folks. *face palm*I was specifically referring to the CrowdStrike crash while it sounds like you're talking about a separate incident that occurred with Microsoft's Azure cloud.

CrowdStrike, the cybersecurity firm that crashed millions of computers with a botched update all over the world last week, is offering its partners a $10 Uber Eats gift card as an apology, according to several people who say theyreceived the gift card, as well as a source who also received one.
On Tuesday, a source told TechCrunch that they received an email from CrowdStrike offering them the gift card because the company recognizes “the additional work that the July 19 incident has caused.”
“And for that, we send our heartfelt thanks and apologies for the inconvenience,” the email read, according to a screenshot shared by the source. The same email was also posted on X by someone else. “To express our gratitude, your next cup of coffee or late night snack is on us!”

The local television stations in Columbus, Ohio are now reporting that the tech issues they are having with their computer network systems are not related to the CrowdStrike outage but is separate issue of a city employee clicking on a link that caused tech problems on the city's computer systems.WBNS-TV reported during their 6:00 PM newscast tonight that the City of Columbus is still having issues after Friday's global tech outage.
WBNS-TV reported that city employees cannot send or receive external emails, city police officers are not able to pull up information on their cruiser laptops, and city firefighters and paramedics cannot pull up date information in their trucks when responding to a call.
City of Columbus still dealing with issues after tech outage
This is the best part:
On Wednesday, some of the people who posted about the gift card said that when they went to redeem the offer, they got an error message saying the voucher had been canceled. When TechCrunch checked the voucher, the Uber Eats page provided an error message that said the gift card “has been canceled by the issuing party and is no longer valid.”
Sounds about right.
