Sup Peeps! 🌍 In this video, we dive into the juicy details of a recent widespread issue that caused blue screens to appear on computers in offices and airports worldwide.

Initially suspected to be a cyberattack, the real culprit was a faulty software update from the renowned antivirus company, CrowdStrike.

CrowdStrike’s CloudStrike Falcon Software, designed to prevent breaches using cloud-delivered technologies, ended up causing a massive disruption.

This faulty patch led to system failures, affecting businesses and individuals alike, resulting in billions of dollars in financial losses.

Industries such as aviation and remote work were particularly impacted. Watch the video for the juicy bits. Peace!

Pitch for a reboot of “Ace Attorney” (essentially a new timeline but featuring the same characters):

1) For the leads:

The game is split by three campaigns, led by defense attorneys working for Fey & Co. Law Offices, which mainly handles criminal cases (and some civil cases).

* Phoenix Wright, who is one of the firm’s founders

* Apollo Justice, who is an experienced defense attorney who recently transferred to Fey & Co after witnessing blatant corruption in the previous firm he worked for

* Athena Cykes, who just passed the California bar exam.

The other two major characters are the other two founders, Mia Fey and Diego Armando, who are romantically connected.

2) For the assistants:

* Maya Fey, Mia’s younger sister who is working as one of the firm’s paralegals/secretaries, is Phoenix’s assistant.

* Trucy Wright, Phoenix’s daughter with the nun Sister Iris Hawthorne, is Apollo’s assistant. She is a law school student who also dreams of being a professional magician.

* Simon Blackquill, a former prosecutor who decided to switch to defense and join Fey & Co, is Athena’s co-counsel (which is pretty much the assistant role). He was assigned to supervise Athena since she’s a green attorney who just passed the bar.

3) For the lead prosecutors:

* Miles Edgeworth: Los Angeles’ leading prosecutor who frequently clashes with Phoenix.

* Klavier Gavin: A veteran, confident prosecutor who clashes with Apollo.

* Rayfa Khurain: A young, up-and-coming prosecutor who clashes with Athena.

4) For the final bosses:

* Manfred von Karma: A ruthless prosecutor known for their corrupt methods

* Kristoph Gavin: Apollo’s former employer who becomes the focus of a disciplinary hearing

* Franziska Rechtsanwältin: A corporate law attorney who is hired to sue Metis Cykes (in this reboot, Franziska is not Manfred’s daughter)

5) The main campaigns:

* Phoenix’s campaign is still about defending Miles after he’s accused of murder. However, the biggest change is that Manfred von Karma is no longer the murderer. Here, he’s just a really challenging prosecutor. The focus is solely on getting Edgeworth acquitted.

* Apollo’s campaign is centered on a corruption/ethics case against his former employer, Kristoph Gavin. Instead of a big murder trial, Apollo’s finale is a disciplinary hearing in which he’s trying to convince the bar association to disbar Kristoph.

* Athena’s campaign is centered on a massive civil suit against her mother, Métis Cykes. Despite the potential conflict of interest in representing her mother, she takes the lead in a case where Métis and her robotics company, Cosmos, are sued by a rival company, PhantomTech, for copyright infringement.

6) Miscellaneous plot points:

* In case it wasn’t obvious, this version is a more grounded, realistic take on the legal profession. So, no spirit channeling and less courtroom shenanigans. Think something closer to “Better Call Saul” or “Extraordinary Attorney Woo”.

* Part of Phoenix’s campaign is a subplot in which he tries to reconnect with his ex-girlfriend Iris. Part of the reason why their relationship fell apart was that Trucy was an accident, which was strained since Iris took an oath of celibacy when she became a nun. But the two at least try to be good parents to Trucy, despite their separation.

* Mia Fey is still murdered and Maya Fey is still the main suspect. However, Phoenix is told that he can’t represent Maya due to a conflict of interest (his near-familial connection to the Fey sisters). This leads to Apollo Justice taking over the case.

* The tutorial level is Mia Fey going through a mock trial in law school. Her professor, Winston Payne, stands in as the prosecutor.

* Part of Athena’s campaign is taking Aura Blackquill’s deposition, in which she reveals some unflattering information that implies that she may have been responsible for the infringement.

* Diego Armando does not go into a coma in this version. Instead, he decides to retire after losing his passion for the law upon Mia’s death. That being said, Diego pops up every now and then to act as a mentor for all three protagonists.
