Gov. Newsom's office says state is monitoring California impacts of the global computer outage
SACRAMENTO – Computer systems across the world and across the Sacramento area are recovering after a massive outage that started Thursday night. The problem stems from an issue with systems linked to Microsoft and the cybersecurity company CrowdStrike. Companies across the world, from media outlets and airline companies, started getting the "Blue Screen of Death" on their computers. Law enforcement agencies are saying that critical infrastructure, like 911 services, has not been affected by the outage. In a statement, California Gov. Gavin Newsom's office says the state is coordinating with local emergency officials to address any lingering impacts of the outage. "At this time, there are no reports of impacts to life-safety public services in California," the governor's office wrote. While CrowdStrike has said they've rolled out a fix, not every system has recovered. Sacramento International Airport, in particular, has continued to feel the domino effects of the outage into Friday morning. Travelers are dealing with canceled flights and are scrambling to rebook. Officials at SMF are urging travelers to get to the airport early and check with their airlines for the latest information on their flights.
Regent’s Slide non-official update
From Mark Readdie of Big Creek, exclusive to bigsurkate:. They have to deal with daily unpredictability at the Regent’s Slide. The work is complicated by significant instability of the rocky material they are encountering and the steep slope they’re working on. They are diligently working every day they can (when it’s not socked in with fog and when the slide isn’t falling apart) but all I can say is it’s slow going. Every day they have to check for new cracks above and below the working bench. The material below the bench is falling apart on its own. I watched twice now in the past few weeks where huge rocks just came off by themselves below the work bench. The spider excavators are cabled to bulldozers in case the whole thing goes.
