At least not for another 20 years or so anyway.

For the most ethical of people going to business school. Everyone else lied.

As someone who also thought the first was just ‘ok’ - go watch it tonight. Dune 2 is the best sci-fi movie made in the last 25 years and maybe in the top 3 of all time. It absolutely does justice to the book(s) and is a total spectacle for the senses. Stop sleeping on it.

Workaround Steps:

1. Boot Windows into Safe Mode or the Windows Recovery Environment

2. Navigate to the C:\Windows\System32\drivers\CrowdStrike directory

3. Locate the file matching “C-00000291*.sys”, and delete it.

4. Boot the host normally.

There is a fix people have found which requires manual booting into safe mode and removal of a file causing the BSODs. No clue if/how they are going to implement a fix remotely when the affected machines can’t even boot.

Yep, stuck at the airport currently. All flights grounded. All major grocery store chains and banks also impacted. Bad day to be a crowdstrike employee!
