Billion dollar companies with no backup plan in place? Smart. smart.

Dude this is 24 years late for Y2K I'm sick of these reruns

Hospitals and airlines having no non digital back up plan is gross negligence.

No one sees a problem with one company controlling everything yet?

It is not going to be a fun day at the airports. Be kind people. It is not the airlines fault.

This is why monopolization, centralized management is a terrible idea.

Alphabet media will have this blamed on rural MAGA supporters before the end of the day

I took my dog to the vet just now. Banfield is down also. Admitting using this stuff called paper. Ingenious idea that paper. I wish it would catch on. But they can’t do much without their computers. Can’t even prescribe medication… for a dog.

Bad title.. it's a Microsoft outage not caused by Microsoft but by Crowdstrike affecting Microsoft Windows..Big difference.

Say this isn't a hack without saying it isn't a hack.

This is why digital currency and digital I.d are a terrible idea

Here we go. The closer to the election, expect more of this BS

[PhinneusPrune]

This has nothing to do with the DEI closure I am sure.

Vote for President Trump

I work in a hospital, and I can confirm that there was indeed havoc 😅

[SandyCheeks]

Oh boy what could go wrong with moving every process more and more towards being online and cloud based?

[yostugotz]

This is why I will never buy a electric car..

[rickcardenas]

It’s funny how outages are becoming more common and normalized

This is what happens when you do not TEST your roll out of software on a small group. Software engineers think they are perfect and can make no mistakes but, management won’t pay for software test. Hey George! Your fired!

The irony of a cybersecurity vendor causing the biggest outage in history.

This is what happens when you rely solely on computers and machines
