Meeting Owls have become the “TiVo” or “Kleenax” for conference room cameras. Every product I see in conference rooms that isn’t a Meeting Owl often looks like it was designed to mimic the look and functionality. I’ve been using them since 2019, and they are the best way to bridge the gap between in-room meeting attendees and folks dialing in remotely. Recently, Owl Labs released the Meeting Owl 4+, and it brings everything that, in my opinion, was missing from the previous version.

Yesterday, we saw one of the largest IT outages in history, and it looked a lot like what many people had predicted would happen when the year 2000 hit and the Y2K bug occurred. Yesterday, people around the world began seeing the “blue screen of death” as they began their work day. This error caused delays for banks, airlines, railways, cellular providers, TV and radio broadcasters, and grocery stores. It only affected Windows, though.

A problem in a security update from CrowdStrike caused the error. You can read their blog for more information. CrowdStrike is a fantastic company, and they make incredible products. Their products are simply some of the best security tools in the industry, but unfortunately – accidents can happen.

Macs were unaffected, though – and there’s a good reason. Here’s how Apple protects the Mac mass outages like what the world witnessed on Friday.

Big part up front: Software update fatigue is real for consumers and business users. New features, security updates, and regular maintenance means something is updated almost daily. Browsers are seeing rapid enhancement, and security concerns mean that updates for every app and the operation systems need frequent updates. So, how do we deal with fixing the experience?
