In our neck of the woods not only do we use cash, but when people bulldoze a house it’s common procedure to check the walls for cash. We had a lawsuit in our town over ownership of the $30,000 that was found in the walls.
Crowdstrike Update disrupting business across the entire world

My husband has a load of cash stashed in something fireproof sitting around earning nothing waiting for the zombie apocalypse or something. His mother is worse, she’s got the basement full of canned food and water for the end of the world. Like she’s gonna sit around at 88 eating canned food when the rest of us croak
For those who've read some of my posts regarding Microsoft, this comes as no surprise. As mentioned before, I had the good sense to micro analyze over-all costs of Microsoft servers in the 90's. After unjustifiable exorbitant costs to my clients, I opted to pull the trigger and migrate them all to Linux. The experience, though stressful, ended up changing my whole opinion of Microsoft. Without doubt ANYONE who hasn't had the foresight to properly and objectively assess the TCO of Microsoft products should be put out to pasture. Linux has been 100x more reliable (not even exaggerating), thus massively lowering my billing to my clients.
You sound like the type of person who writes it M$FT.
The problem you put your clients into is once you’re retired gone or just done working with them; they don’t have a random smart guy or gal like you to help them fix or update or upgrade anything. They’ll be scrambling.
Microsoft will have that next random smart guy or gal ready to go once their main person is gone or just one of thousands that can help in a support contract.
Also sounds like you work mainly with smaller organizations where the full Microsoft stack IS too much for them, and honestly a SaaS solution depending on their needs/industry would probably be cheaper than a random smart person.
Also this was a CrowdStrike issue not a Microsoft one.
Restaurant servers still take their tips home in cash. Even the ones on credit or debit cards.
Yes, because when the zombie apocolypse happens, and I have something you or he needs, I want a piece (or pieces) of green paper in exchange for said item.
Sorry, just poking a hole in the whole fallacy of having cash in an end-of-the-world scenario. I could see having a few hundred bucks in cash on hand just in case something similar to today happened and it did affect the ability to use credit/debit cards.
Ha, I got the same $0.12 check. I threw it in the trash. Apparently my mobile banking app won't recognize a check that small, and it sure as he'll isn't worth taking it in to the bank. Dumb.
She’s not very domestic. Also she falls and can’t get up at least three times a week but won’t leave her stash for assisted living.
To come full circle, MIL gave all her kids cash to stash for end of world. Just can’t make her stuff up. Maybe it’s to bribe St. Peter at the pearly gates for his cash collectionRestaurant servers still take their tips home in cash. Even the ones on credit or debit cards.

No issues at my work yesterday. I am not familiar with our IT but if I had to guess we don't use Crowdstrike.
External partners we work with were definitely affected. One was telling me 5 of them were sharing one working computer to check emails and knock out time sensitive tasks.
Someone mentioned getting Casey's breakfast pizza on the first page, I also got one yesterday too. First slice in at least 6 months!

Without knowing his business model, you can't really know what he means. It could be all server side.
Regardless, Linux (in all of it's varieties) has come a looong way since the 90s.
1. It was a patch issue with MS. 2. Open source, believe it or not, has a broader reach of experience than MS. 3. You are correct about my customers being small, but $$$ are $$$. It's just that stupidity is better hidden in a large balance sheet among a glutiny of egos.You sound like the type of person who writes it M$FT.

Fwiw the EV fuel station in my own garage worked perfectly through the “tech outage”.
