Our team spent 12 hours yesterday restoring 900 servers. They had to be booted into safe mode, corrupt file deleted, and reboot. That was the "fix" they released. Our cloud team had it even worse. It happened around 1am... so we were exhausted. Fortunately our domain controllers only required a reboot. Laptops were bricked until we restored our disk encryption environment. We had end users fixing their own laptop when possible because support couldn't help 10k+ users. Fortunately, most laptops were not online at the time

I was in the Military for Y2K and we were on official Stand By, no drinking. Nothing Happened worst new years ever.

My sister took a ferry out of Vancouver last night and got a ticket written in pink glitter pen.

Hello to NoKi1119 in advance, we love you man ❤

Suing ISPs for providing services to pirates is like suing a local authority for providing a road someone to someone who broke the speed limit. This is just an attempt to shift the blame because the media industries can't or won't secure their property, and also can't or won't make access to their products accessible enough to make piracy unnecessary.

I am a network engineer for BMW. I was working the night shift when this happened. It was crazy. It took us an hour to find a solution and another two hours to apply the fix to all the affected devices.

I think the exchange between Linus and Dan about Dan's contract work might be the most Canadian thing I've ever seen.

62 seconds into WAN Show and Linus is talking about golden showers... This is gonna be an interesting episode isn't it?.

Dave's Garage is one guy that can really make you understand what happened with Crowd Strike

Y2K Was *NOT* FUD. It was a real issue that was fixed. It was a massive undertaking and was fixed because people were forewarned. This is an example where because thousands of very talented people worked long hours to prevent a crisis, and the crisis was prevented, people think that the warning was meaningless. But the warning is WHY nothing happened.

Just FYI, the latest League of Legends special skin, was EXCLUSIVE to a $750 CAD bundle. Yes. $750 CAD.

Watching TV news hosts say "Blue Screen Of Death" in a way tells nerd viewers that the TV hosts had only just heard the phrase when reading the teleprompter 2 minutes before,.... and the confusion on their faces when guests said "Be S Oh Dee" casually.

Woke up at 11 am to go out and run some door dash orders, but was met by my mom who had been up and attending to this Windows crash from 4 am! She works at a pretty big hospital and told me that IT had to manually restart every computer across the health system, this spans across about 3 towns

Linus looks like every comic or anime, "I just got fire powers and don't know what I'm doing" The back looks like a scortched crater

8:00 it's worth mentioning that a lot of effort was spent on fixing Y2K issues before they occurred. According to Wikipedia, that worldwide effort cost more than $300 billion.

Norton sitting back like "Phew... At least it wasn't us...."

Yayay we are slowly getting back to ultra long WAN show

I should not write this comment to honor Linus' approach to the loss of his sister. But I want to express my condolences and say that I am always moved by how strongly you deal with this great loss... and that I think I understand. It does me good to see that you don't always have to break, as I did, in suffering. Thank you (and sorry. I had to let that out)

I live in the UK and was told earlier this evening that emergency medical transport is still hugely delayed (talking hours for an ambulance) because of the crowdstrike bug and it's taken them the past 3 days to get things even slightly running again... 😅
