First look at the Cancelled Essential Phone 2

Essential PH-1 had a decent reception & then Essential teased its “Project Gem” aka the PH-2 back in 2019 as a follow-up to the PH-1.
However, the company eventually shutdown in 2020, work on the Gem shut down with it.

Specs:
• 2160×560 px resolution OLED Display
• 4:1 aspect ratio
• 90Hz refresh rate
• Color changing back as light falls
• Snapdragon 730 SoC
• 4GB RAM
• Custom Launcher, runs Android 10

It has a 48MP single rear camera with Smart Zoom that captures 4 pixels-in-1 for high quality images, zooms 1.5x for ultrawide, 2.4x for telephoto mode & can auto-switch to 48MP to capture more details

Unlike many phones with a dedicated button to open different apps instantly, the Essential PH-2 had a custom voice assistant which gets activated by touching the fingerprint reader on the back and it can send msgs, share photos, control music etc

Carl Pei's Nothing bought Essential afterwards, however Nothing did nothing like Essential

Here's what went wrong with CrowdStrike Update, causing BSOD worldwide

The MRI machine by Toshiba in a hospital also failed to work and booted into recovery mode.
In short, an MRI needs an MRI now lmao

The Mercedes F1 team were also struggling with the CrowdStrike Windows BSOD outage and ironically they're wearing CrowdStrike T-shirts only lmao

Incase your wondering what happened, CrowdStrike falcon sensor works in kernel mode, so it installs .sys drivers that are loaded when the device is booted. Since these files suspiciously had NULL values dumped in them it caused a invalid memory dump which panicked the kernel causing the windows BSOD.
That's why it's was advised to delete the C-00000291*.sys, which will delete the dumps and enable proper system boot loading

CrowdStrike stocks were greatly affected and is going down continuously.
People will remember the date "19/7" worldwide as the BSOD Day.
