Episode description

Remember in 1999 when there was widespread concern about the impending Y2K crisis? What we REALLY should have been scared of was July 19th of this year. It's why this date is now known as International Blue Screen of Death Day, marking the moment the global tech crisis we feared back in the day finally unfolded. A major IT outage triggered by CrowdStrike disrupted airlines, hospitals, banks, restaurants, and office computers. Oh no! Some of us couldn't work that Friday. Whyyyyyyy. Whyyyyyyyyyy. Whyyyyyyyyyy! ((insert tears falling, people falling on their knees, shaking fists to the sky)). Join Laurie, Claire & Anna as they discuss this chaotic event, and reflect on the strange happenings of July 2024. But with so much happening, our LNL hosts have high, hopes hopes for the year ahead. Maybe they'll put up their International Blue Screen of Death Day tree...or not.
