Seeing an alarming number of people post totally wrong claims about the CrowdStrike outage, such as the claim that the Las Vegas Sphere was affected.

There's a ton of misinformation going around — to some extent as expected. Granted, wrong news about the Sphere is low stakes. But it goes to show how easy it is for more confusion to spread in what is already a confusing (and chaotic) situation.
