What's going on with the computers, for those who don't care about computers generally:
A security company (Crowdstrike) pushed out a bad update that broke a huge number of Windows computers and will probably require a lot of painful work to fix. This has resulted in, among other things, airlines grounding flights, hospitals locked out of their systems, and Starbucks in-store ordering being broken.
