Kettle If you're an IT administrator with Windows boxes on your network, Friday can't have been a lot of fun.

What's likely millions of systems were or still are stuck in blue-screen boot loop hell, mostly requiring manual intervention to fix.

It's due to a broken file pushed out by CrowdStrike to Microsoft Windows systems, causing them to crash and stay down around the world.

It's hit airports, hospitals, businesses ... you name it.

For those who prefer just the audio, the Kettle is available via RSS and MP3, Apple, Amazon, and Spotify.
