A fatal program update: How CrowdStrike crashed global computer systems
CrowdStrike, the company that just turned hundreds of millions of Windows 10 computers into bricks, is offering a free trial here.
[Disclaimer: You have to be a business to try it. No fun just crashing your personal device.]
It's kind of beautifuly terrible to realize that one little line of errant code can wreak so much havoc, isn't it?
[Update: CrowdStrike says a fix for the abovementioned code booboo has been deployed. However, since all the computers that need fixing are now offline, the repaired code will be delivered by pony express.]
