As a dedicated fan of Joel Kinnaman‘s impressive acting career, it is disheartening to see him suffer through such an inconvenience caused by the recent Microsoft tech outage. His experience at the airport, where he spent hours delayed and eventually had to sleep on the floor due to a faulty system, resonates with many others who have gone through the same ordeal in the past week.


Joel Kinnaman, actor in Suicide Squad, experienced some trouble with Microsoft technology which resulted in him being stranded at an airport for a night. This unfortunate event forced him to sleep on the floor.

Windows users worldwide encountered unexpected system shutdowns or restarts caused by the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) error. The primary cause of this issue was identified by Microsoft as a recent update from CrowdStrike, which they integrated into their software bundle. Consequently, numerous businesses, such as banks, airlines, and emergency services, faced IT disruptions and experienced computer system failures.
