Edit: I'm not even about to figure out the formatting glitch here, this information just needs to be shared to help fix the problem.
CrowdStrike fucked up big time didn’t they?
Oh, man, it’s bad. Been on a call at work all day.
Damn. Did you catch the quick fix?

The problem is a) rebooting in safe mode on remote/cloud servers. b) rebooting in safe mode if you’re also using BitLocker. :(
An alternate suggestion from Microsoft is “reboot up to 15 times”.
Meanwhile, last I heard is Microsoft themselves uses Linux to run their Hotmail servers…
Yeah, perhaps things aren’t the same today, but hell!
I don’t blame Microsoft at all for having a Linux mail server…
Oh fuck, 15 times? That’s a fucking delay tactic to try to keep their phone lines from getting clogged, no joke.
