Re: In todays news...
We have literally hundreds upon hundreds of broken servers
It's an application called Crowdstrike that's caused the issue. Worldwide

Crowdstrike?
'CrowdStrike is a US-based American cybersecurity firm that helps companies manage their security in "IT environments" — that is, everything they use an internet connection to access. Its primary function is to protect companies and stop data breaches, ransomware and cyber attacks.'
Well, it seems to work a treat.

Re: In todays news...
It's not a hard fix, we've fixed 200+ servers today. But it does take time for sure. 15-20 mins per box, we've got 7-8 people working on it from just our small infrastructure.
I'd imagine we've got 10,000 machines down company wide. Happily I don't need to fix all of them.
And, I'm leaving in an hour to go racing

Re: In todays news...
Yonks ago, we had three PDP 11-34s (I think. Another elderly person may be able to confirm the numbering).
Regular 'preventative maintenance'.
Which regularly prevented them from working.

Fret ye not. You can still order on-line (standing in the shop) and collect.
