Hi all, What a fun start to today in the IT world! https://www.rte.ie/news/2024/0719/1460759-outage-tracker/ This would have affected machines that were on overnight - if your machine was off overnight, it wouldn't have taken the update that caused the issue. If you have a machine that is affected, then here is the fix below: Boot Windows into Windows Recovery Environment – (Shift + F8 when booting) Advanced options Select Troubleshoot Select Command prompt CMD will open Navigate to the C:\Windows\System32\drivers\CrowdStrike directory - type: cd windows\system32\drivers\crowdstrike Locate the file matching “C-00000291*.sys”, and delete it. - type: del c-00000291*.sys Exit CMD. - type exit Boot the machine normally. Hope this is of use to someone

I saw the ones the Brazilian church are using on a youtube video, and wondered if this is something that could be tried at Heuston to stop the flying rats getting in to the station building? https://www.odditycentral.com/news/brazilian-church-hypnotizes-pesky-pigeons-with-colored-bullseyes.html https://bangaloremirror.indiatimes.com/bangalore/cover-story/namma-metro-is-humming-a-new-tune-these-days-kabootar-ja-ja-ja-kabootar-ja-ja-ja/articleshow/70489657.cms
