Many people seem to be having computer problems today, millions of Windows machines are experiencing the BSoD (Blue Screen of Death)! Apparently there's a problem with some security software (Crowdstrike) that (probably) installed a bad update overnight. At time of writing there are outages at banks, stock-exchanges, railways, airports, the NHS and a multitude of other businesses that rely on this OS for their critical systems. There'll be a bunch of people running around like headless chickens right now trying to figure out a) what the issue is and b) how to fix it or roll it back, I don't envy them! There are so many layers of different vendors code in today's application stacks that diagnosing complex faults gets more and more tricky as the years pass.
My advice...
The world should be switched off, and back on again, it could do with a hard reset anyway..
