    Half my company is shut down. Laptops crash into blue screens after bios post and probably need to be wiped. Gotta love Microsoft. Exceptional customer service.

      Apparently it's not Microsoft but some antivirus crapware called CrowdStrike.

        2 weeks ago CrowdStrike was just permanently taking up 30% of my CPU and kept my laptop running on maximum fan power. Apparently also due to a faulty update. Holy fuck, what is that company doing. And why is apparently everywhere?

          Glassdoor posts shows CrowdStrike doing layoffs of software engineers in 2023. They made 3 billion in revenue YTD.

          Middle managers in big companies that decide to use these things are fucking idiots and got sold the shitware by sleazy sales people and now they're stuck with it because admitting it was the wrong move is out of the question. Some heads are probably gonna roll after this fiasco tho.
