New Delhi:
Microsoft’s global service outage on Friday left millions of Windows users frustrated, with many experiencing the dreaded Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) error, which caused their systems to abruptly shut down or reboot. The outage, triggered by a recent update to cybersecurity platform CrowdStrike, affected several services including flight operations, cloud services, and Office 365 applications. On a lighter note, Indian TV viewers have flooded X (formerly Twitter) with memes linking the outage to Sarabhai vs Sarabhai The much-loved character Dushyant Painter, played by actor Deven Bhojani, is an electronics engineer and Maya Sarabhai’s son-in-law, known for his knack for solving technology-related problems.
