Exactly not at all.
Since I run Arch I was totally fine with it. I run Arch BTW.
We weren’t able to send work orders to maintenance for a day. We sent it the next day.
I was devastated.
I work with CNC machines, and those were unaffected. But the measuring devices we use to double - check tolerances and record the fact that our parts are good went down. The computer that tracks the number of good parts and scraps for the day were also down.
So, we kept running and did more manual checks with micrometers and gages. Work slowed slightly, and record keeping had to be on paper for a while and entered manually on Monday.
Also we couldn’t clock in that day, the time tracking computer was also down. So a head count was taken and also entered into eh computer once it got running
Everything opened slowly at work for a day, and a bunch of coworkers got a free paid half day off because they couldn’t login.
Was flying back from Tokyo, heard about the outage when i landed in Bangkok. Luckily i kept my paper tickets and had no issues transferring. Probably would’ve been stuck there for a while if i wasn’t in the habit of hoarding receipts.
Thankfully we’re 90% Linux so not much, but one of our SAs had to patch a bunch of instances.
It didn’t at all. I refuse to run Microsoft products at home and in the cloud. At work I learned some Postgres database servers are running inside virtualized Linux on Windows hosts, which is kind of disgusting.
Got to sit around and play video games for half a day until someone from IT called and was like “yeah we need to walk you through the work around.”
Mostly just ruined social media for a few weeks :)
Zero affect. Not traveling, and work systems apparently aren’t protected by it … not sure if that’s good or bad 😂
I got a TON of overtime.
Vindicated
I was camping and forgot to bring cash and the shops had card machines, so I wasn’t able to send a postcard
I had to come in on the weekend and work to fix affected PCs. I’m on salary so that was for no extra pay, with the understanding that we’d take that time off sometime during the week. Unfortunately I have too much other stuff going on, so I wasn’t able to take any time off.
