Fuck yeah! Let's corporatize all IT!!!
Omg. Crowdstrike CEO starts panicking and choking on his words when the media asks him why a single content update could shut down the entire system.

Just wait til AI really grabs hold. Terminator 2 indeed
I wonder if that pesky crowdstrike salesman will contact me this week.
When I retired (1 year, 3 months and 9 days ago), one of the last things I told the dept head was that one non-networked facility was still running an ancient Siemens front end controller communicating through Windows XP- That there was a race as to which 30 year old hardware would fail and shut it down permanently. He said it was being shutdown in 2 years anyway so they'd risk it.
It's still going strong. Which is good because when I handed the server software cds to my successor, he looked like I'd given him a severed head.
Stock sunk today. I invested. 
Had an eye exam yesterday at around 2 PM. The eye Dr told me I was the first patient of the day where their computer was working due to the crowdstrike outage. So some systems were operational later in the day on Fri. Also, cashed a check at my bank with no issues.

Oh I would bet he is hiding the fact that someone put out an update without testing it first. I have worked in IT for a long time and lately there has been a trend that people get lazy and deploy something without testing it so they can can cash their checks.
