Crowdstrike is av software? Sounds like a video game or some shit.

This feels kind of overblown. It wasn't an apocalypse scenario where people needed to stock up on food and stuff. Honestly if the Internet hadn't filled up with memes I probably wouldn't have known about the outage. My company was fine. Everyone in my family's company's were fine. All the places I shopped today were fine. A few of our vendors were mildly affected. It certainly seems widespread, but not nearly to the point of validating a prepper lifestyle.

Weeks to recovery? LOL.

I just helped an enterprise with tens of thousands of endpoints recover almost completely in under 12 hours.
