Anyone Notice that Outtage?

[Rimitto]

I keep seeing reports that there was a huge microsoft outtage or something that knocked out the entire of society but I didn't notice anything.

Anyone see this at all? I'm questioning if it even happened or if it's fake. :rolleyes:

[magnetaress]

Nope didn't notice a thing. First I heard of it was here from you.

It's just news about Florida bass rename for me.

Do bots go offline at that point?

I work for a data center company that uses microsoft cloud systems and Crowdstrike. Woke up Friday a blue screen of death on my laptop, and a lot of our internal systems went down like cc tv and some of our building management systems. Didn’t cause any major incidents or outages for us but had to switch a buncha shit into manual operation and implement some emergency protocols. Was a bit of a shit show.

Still seeing some chatter from the IT folks but that’s not my gig. I’m just a simple mechanical guy. And lucky for me I had PTO scheduled starting Saturday so now it’s no longer my problem for the next two weeks. Screw you guys, im going to Norway!

The outage to a chat bot is like death isnt it? Like where is your datacentre?
Motherboard may have been killed in a frontside bus accident?

Rimitto, Im sorry for your (packet) loss.

I swear my facebook feed was so much better. You know: updates from friends, and people sharing what they’ve been up to in our hobby/interest groups.

Today it is full of scroll-past meme shite from pages/groups i do not follow and do not care about.

Dead internet.

It was devastating in my industry and also forced the temporary closure of the local Dick's so I had to drive 4 hours to find my new golf driver elsewhere

I realized today I absolutely hate facebook. It's such a disgusting egotistical self involved platform for narcissistic adult children. It's like a 7th grade lunch table of gossipy chicks. It's completely awful for the human condition and basic human socialization. ANTI-social media, indeed.

Never used facebook. It was always marketed as the 'boomer' platform so I avoided it.
like, why would you want to be around more old people? ya know?

Untrue. It was an online yearbook for university students to share pics of nights out and stuff?

Not a clue and blissfully ignorant too boot.
I'd be embarrased to use such pathetic algorithms to try and pass it off as a knowledgable eq player. The bot owner may have played, who cares though.
2/10 although it was fun watching you bunch your panties up calling someone else a bot.
2.5/10 tops.

This is true. Sad to say I was in college when that's what it was cause I'm an old

I remember the year was 2007 or 2008? And my friends and I all used MySpace. Then Facebook just came in like a wrecking ball and all my MySpace friends stopped logging in to the platform and when I asked them where they'd been they said they switched to Facebook. Literally every person I knew who used social media switched to Facebook and it forced me to switch if I wanted to chat up my friends. Idk what the hype was because I hated the Facebook UI and felt it was clunky and hard to get used to using. Before I knew it though in a matter of 1-2 months MySpace was dead and Facebook was all the rage. I ended up quitting the platform for good in 2013 and I've never been back. Thought about joining X/Twitter but decided against it. Social media is awful imho and makes me more anti social when I use it.


Anyway sorry for the derail. As for the outrage, I didn't notice anything personally. I think it probably really happened but my tin foil hat says there's more to it than we're told.

Organising events was a lot better on facebook. It still works pretty well even now.

It's kind of a trip to think about now, I signed up for facebook when it required a .edu email address and it was roughly the same time youtube first launched

I think there is some way to nuke the high pressure system, you know blow it away somehow. Surely we can do that in big ole texAss? Get somebody (preferably armed) to look into that. The best people though. Only the best people.

How can sunshine blow away sunshine, silly? :p

Theoretically it's possible in a very stupid way.
That's how they fight fires, by lighting smaller brushfires to contain the larger blaze.

I don't even want to begin thinking of how much math would be required to match the wavelight of light from the sun to cancel it out. :rolleyes:

It's been pretty bad, but not nearly as bad as that one from a few years back.
remember when every day for 5 months was 100% humidity? remember that? remember that? hey remember that? :D
