Major worldwide tech outage?

Apparently a lot of our work computers are getting BSOD's. Mine has not suffered any such thing.

Probably shouldn’t turn it on, then.

Chase couldn’t do anything in the branch today. But the ATM worked.
Online banking seems unaffected here. At least I had no issues depositing and making transfers online during the past half hour. Perhaps earlier this morning there were problems. Don’t know.
Will learn later if the cancer hospital’s network was affected.
Elbows up!

Online was fine here too. It was the local branch that was out all day.

There is a whole generation of Silicon Valley “software engineers” raised in the idea that frequent software updates is the best way to achieve security/reliability. These are a generation that probably never worked for an “old school” company that had proper QA team and QA process that maybe releases software upgrades no more frequently than once a quarter. (But luckily they also don’t do much with MSFT/Windows, so that’s a bit of a saving grace.)

A "custom hardened OS" sounds like a swell idea, but first get a huge pile of money to pay for it.
And the fancy "custom hardened OS" is going to break anyway, just like your cheap Windows.
Better to spend your money on the recovery procedure. You'll eventually need it for either system.
