👉 Strikes in computing refer to a situation where software or hardware components, such as processors, memory modules, or network interfaces, refuse to operate or function correctly when certain conditions are met, typically involving a lack of power supply, incorrect configuration, or hardware failure. This halt in operation can disrupt services and systems that depend on these components, leading to downtime or degraded performance. Strikes can be either planned (scheduled) or unplanned (accidental), and they pose significant challenges for IT operations, as resolving them often requires immediate attention to restore normal functionality. Preventive measures include regular maintenance, monitoring system health, and implementing robust error-handling protocols to minimize the impact of such strikes.
