We investigated ourselves and found nothing

How come the media did not suffer from the online meltdown ?

[davidwillis]

What was everyone doing before computers? That's why it's always good to have a alternative way to do things because computers obviously cannot be depended upon 100 percent.

And this is why you don't let the friggin' computer download "updates" automatically...

Southwest uses old version of Windows. Unaffected. Brilliant. Latest and Greatest not allways best.

If you come across this comment, please send your prayers for my recovery. Thank you for your positive energy.

There are a few problems with the software update:
1. Obviously, testings weren’t adequately done in a test environment before the update went live.
2. The disaster recovery plan wasn’t designed or executed correctly, where a system rollback wasn’t done to restore the system to the previous state before the update.
This is the nightmare that jolts the IT and Software Quality Assurance team awake at night. But nothing can ever be error free, especially when it comes to Information Technology. It will happen again.

Let's just be glad Stack Overflow didn't seem to be affected. We may have been waiting months for a fix otherwise.

Is there any Democratic stepping up to take Biden's place? They should all either step up or shut up!

They should have retired Senator Feinstein but they let her go on looking crazy. These politicians are trash.

[pattibrown]

Typical Trump. Instead of talking about plans to help us he talks about himself.

@4:52 One line of code has always been able to take out windows, or any that has been the case since FOREVER and will always be the case. The solution to the problem is less then 30secs of work. The issue the is number of affect systems.

[tommycarpenter]

This is why we shouldn't rely on computers..the old way works.

[pythonprogrammer]

Bye bye Lester. What you did to Biden is repugnant. But Biden threw it back at you.

[jettmthebluedragon]

So the world was hauled over 1 simple glitch ? 🧐wow like theirs decently no hackers taking notes here 🙃if you completely relit on a system this is what happens 😑and all it took was something as simple as a glitch 😑

[darrellee]

If you;re worried he's not going to get out there and support him, instead of undermining him.

I was a programmer. Back in the days of COBOL, I used to wonder whether a comma in the wrong place would result in a nuclear 'go'. It's all computerised. It only takes one tiny mistake.
