A service I use at work had an outage, but it made little difference to me.

Some of my clients weren't operational and it gave me a lighter day to catch up on other tasks.
Most were ready to continue on Tuesday, but delays on their end pushed them back a week in most cases. They didn't like hearing that I was pushing delivery back a week because their delays cause my delays, but thems the ropes.
That's about it, I don't use crowdstrike, my employer doesn't use crowdstrike, and it mostly meant nothing to me.
crowdstrike? did i miss something?
Yeah just look it up. Half the internet was down, basically.
it was a joke
i use linux btw
It only affected our time clock system. So we just used paper timecards for a week while IT worked on getting it back up.
Professionally, not at all. My company doesn't use Crowdstrike. Unlike one of my former employers who had thousands of systems down for days. The Field techs there made a killing in overtime.
Personally: My (54m) oldest kid (17m) was stuck at Laguardia for 10 hours. Fortunately, a great gate agent at LGA got him on a flight that evening, with a first class upgrade, to get him into an airport about 1.5 hour drive from the house. I picked him up at midnight and home by 1:30.
Not at all. No personal PC problems and none at work that impacted me (if any existed). Edit: and I didn't go anywhere that day that was impacted, although that seems more lucky since I did stop by a McDonalds for the first time in a month or more since it was in the shopping area my wife and I were at and several McD's were impacted in Japan, apparently.
Schadenfreude.
It didn’t at all. I refuse to run Microsoft products at home and in the cloud. At work I learned some Postgres database servers are running inside virtualized Linux on Windows hosts, which is kind of disgusting.
