Tons of people missing flights. I was unable to sell or buy stocks for a long period of time today on Schwab.

When the WEF deems their shillbots and NPCs ineffective, they will move to shut down the internet and block Americans access to sites like this.

Americans should get their money out of banks while they still can and get gold/silver and crypto.

Yeeeeah, crypto is a digital currency.

I have a friend that works IT. This is making him go ape shit.

I bet he's having a fun day at work.

He just found out that his antivirus software is actually a virus.

Yeeeeah, crypto is a digital currency.

Today bitcoin is up, ripple is up, doge is up, etherium is up, shibu is up etc.

Crypto is up practically across the board.

3 can keep a secret as long as 2 are dead....

Certain cover stories can hold up for a while though....

But this is a massive outage of infrastructure that went around the whole planet due to our reliance on Windows platforms.

It's been a "single point of failure" for 20 years now. EVERY type of engineer will tell you that this is a massive mistake. The adoption of other platforms has never really happened...Including Linux.

Sandbox access is not something that people really understand to begin with much less implement. Everyone just uses the cheapest and easiest thing and that's been Microsoft. Even though it has a back door vulnerability you can drive 2 separate cargo trains through side by side.

Updates are so normal nobody even questions them anymore. And despite what Cloudstrike said....I think they got hacked and sent out the blue screen of death instead of stopping because EVERYONE literally was asleep at the switch.

IT companies get attacked multiple times every day....and do operate out of sandboxes.. so....this story about a bad update with a new patch coming out now to fix the damage doesn't hold water.

Somebody is lying somewhere.

No. Wrong. The Microsoft cloud was working fine all day.

This problem happened because people voluntarily trust CrowdStrike to be their security gateway.

The closest parallel would be if you have Norton on your machine, and it suddenly claimed everything has a virus and therefore nothing will run.

The problem here is shoddy business continuity and piss poor enterprise architecture. Hospitals who use Epic don't bother to find out what's on the back end of it, that's the problem. No plan B.

You have to look at who DIDN'T fail today. Those are the people with a plan B. Do you realize that most of the hospitals in Los Angeles were completely incapacitated after the last earthquake? The biggest provider in LA county is Kaiser Permanente, you know what they did? First they spent 100 million dollars on a battery backup system for their hospitals and clinics, then they put it in an environmentally sealed environment so if an earthquake happens and the batteries break, all that battery acid goes half a mile through a sealed channel and gets dumped in the middle of an empty field. They have LAYERS of protection, there's a plan B and C and D and E too. Because we can't have hospitals shutting down when they're needed most.

They're the cloud version of Norton.

Fake news. There's no election in Maricopa County right now.

Fake news. There's no election in Maricopa County right now.

It's the last day to request an early ballot for the primary.

The government lies to us all the time and so does the CIA and the FBI. Anybody consider the timing? Here we are virtually leaderless with a U.S. president hiding in his mom's basement with a possible faked Covid diagnosis a week after the attempted assassination of the former president. The conspiracy might be deeper than an A.I. glitch.

 

[scruffy]

I stand corrected. Thank you.

There is early in person voting taking place all month for the July 30 primary.

Ain't that interesting. They do have to pay the election workers. In Los Angeles it was $24/hr for the desk and $28 for the technicians. For 30 days at 10 hours a day that's a lot of bread.

Crypto is up practically across the board.

And if the cloud goes down it will be worth nothing. Digital currency.

 

[petro]

Well, I ain't jet setting, have no money and USMB is still online.
All is good in the hood.

Insanity.

 

[TheGreatSatan]

Yeeeeah, crypto is a digital currency.

Crypto will be for the rich.

You will have CBDC

Insanity.

What an absolute disgrace. Total insanity you know those people never talk about slavery that existed in Africa or anywhere else. This is minority fringe stuff. Most Americans want anything to do with what these people are saying in the video. That includes black Americans and white Americans.

IM2 who is an allegedly gay white man in his 70s posing as a black guy is the type of person who is a part of that fringe minority.

The sooner this type of stuff comes to an end, the better the whole country will be. It’s an abomination that most Americans don’t support.
