CrowdStrike outage has affected Microsoft systems worldwide. It's termed as the biggest IT outage in history. It has affected services like banks, flights and broadcasters as well. Are you in any way affected?

Well, even I wasn't on my phone when these developments took place. My friend told me thinking that I knew about it. But it was only then that I came to know about the outage. I wasn't personally affected by the outage. Because I didn't need to use any of those services that were hampered due to the outage. And you too have a good weekend

I had internet here at home, but not when I was out and about for several hours...some places closed, factories and such sent workers home, Fed Ex and UPS are in a mess, many restaurants had to close here as well, they do pretty much everything online and couldn't function well.

Hmm... That's the danger of we people going online for everything. Though, there are positives in this, the flip side can be very dangerous. We don't know what will happen and when. Let's hope everything goes on smoothly now for all of us.

I'm using an M2 MacBook Air and Safari to my lot. I'm not using any Microsoft services so, no. I haven't been.

Actually, a whole lot of services had been affected. As I said, banks, flights and broadcasters were on the list of affected services. Then there was stock markets as well. It's been a worldwide issue and affecting globally. I too don't need any Microsoft service at the moment. So I hadn't been affected either. But because we didn't have our flights, or nothing like broadcasting, that's why we aren't affected. Otherwise the outage is global and on a very large scale.

Even I was not affected when this all happened. Actually, I came to know about it from my friend. Even after all that, I was still unaffected. That's mainly because I didn't need any online service, especially the those which were affected. So, like you too, I was ok with everything.

Then that's good. Because a lot of bank services were also affected. I too saw the news. But a bit late. However, none of my needs were affected as well. I didn't need to book any plane tickets, neither I needed to go to any ATM. The other services that had an impact on, also weren't on my work list. So, it was just another day for me

@Shivram59 Oh so, your ATM worked for you!? Wonderful! A few of my friends let told me that it wasn't working for them. Now we are talking about these things, like this was not working, that had a problem, etc. But at least I don't know which Microsoft systems in particular for affected, and which those people were using who didn't face any problems. Anyway, before answering you YouTube related question, can you tell me what do you use for searching? I'm not talking about any device, though.

@abhi_bangal It was the same with me.I immediately went to draw some money from my ATM.It was fully functional.I then headed to my back.The clerks are my friends.They told me they had no problems. At night I saw the news that the issue was fixed. One thing I want to ask you;can't India have its own YouTube??
