Shows you how fragile and dependent we are to a few powerful companies.

Have they tried restarting the computer or calling tech support?

[aquatrax]

Stop blaming Microsoft, this is a crowd strike issue. Their software sucks.

This is what happens when you let one operating system run the world

[marcymathieu]

This is a test for the police state world wide we are entering

Just making sure the glitches start becoming routine for people rolling into November.

Government warned us like every couple of months

I've seen this before in a movie.... "Leave the World Behind" A family's getaway to a luxurious rental home takes an ominous turn when a cyberattack knocks out their devices — and two strangers appear at their door.

We experienced this at the hotel I work at. Super inconvenient and couldn't do anything for 5-10 min. Then it was fine, but then I had no access to any reports, including printing out confirmations.

Crap no wonder my gaming laptop was acting up for the first time 🤦🏻‍♀️

Welcome to the future of cloud services...

[scotlandredd]

Everyone uses teams and that’s part of the problem. Dependent on electricity, identify protection and so many things. Government hardly intervenes. Being off the grid doesn’t sound so bad after all

[juliuspekar]

thats fishy, "only microsoft systems" not linux or mac.

[justinbruck]

Today is the greatest Linux commercial ever made

[killthestereotype]

Depends, what country the cyber security is from

[johnrosue]

Media literally be like: Climate Change

Brought to you by who else? Bill Gates.
