My employer is down right now. I assume that means our manufacturing plants are also inoperable.

The self-service check outs were still down at my local grocery store yesterday - had to stand in the “regular” line for 20 minutes, boo-hoo.
My son also got a day off on Friday as his tech firm was knocked off...

My employer was affected but our IT department has made significant headway since Friday.
Interestingly, we have observed that employees who shut down their computers the night before the Crowdstrike update was pushed were not affected.

It might be extra bad at my company. It coincided with some sort of major upgrade where all users had to shut off their laptops and log off phones overnight.

I have worked here for over 20 years, and 10 for the company that was bought by this one, and never had a hand-written company paycheck before last week. Tells you how much Microsoft is inserted into businesses all over the world. I haven’t heard if any Apple-Based systems were affected............. ...

No impact whatsoever on Linux or MacOS.
And no impact on REALLY OLD Windows. See Southwest Airlines, who kept running all their flights just fine:
...because their critical systems run on Windows 3.1 and Windows 95
That's true.

I made a remark about that situation years and years ago when MS began new versions and newer versions, I think Windows 98 was current at the time.
I said something to the effect, Why would I want to trade in my old OS that has all the bugs worked out for a new one that has more bugs in it? Seems to me that hackers would all ignore the old software and be attacking the newer software...............
