News CrowdStrike costing companies millions and millions...

Me and Jay were trying to play Apex last night and our Xboxs would not work. Now we know why. Microsoft systems that use CrowdStrike are all down.

Banks, airports, hospitals, tech companies, and more are being effected. All the more reason to REFUSE a digital currency.

Windows PCs all around the world are crashing, and it's getting uglier fast.

The issue is due to a issue with CrowdStrike's Falcon Sensor software, and it's spreading in unpredictable ways. But what is CrowdStrike? What's a "blue screen of death"? And how worried should Windows PC owners be? Here's what you need to know.

What is CrowdStrike, and what is Falcon Sensor?
CrowdStrike is a cybersecurity company, and Falcon Sensor is software designed to prevent computer systems from cyber attacks. Earlier this morning, on July 19, the company warned its users that Windows systems are "experiencing a bugcheck/blue screen error related to the Falcon Sensor," and said that its engineering teams are "actively working to resolve this issue."

Apparently, an update to the Falcon software is what caused the issue; the company rolled back the update but numerous machines are still affected.

Both Microsoft and CrowdStrike have now acknowledged the issue, which is only present on Windows machines, while Mac and Linux computers aren't affected.

Feels good being with Linux right now.

You have to imagine those people are laughing at Microsoft.

There is no way this was a mistake. Listening to tech people the last few days, there is no way this was overlooked unless it was intentional.

Microsoft, whether it comes to video games or computers, is a joke.
