Have we ever addressed why you choose to live in a third world shithole? I mean, I know you're from Carlisle, but it's still a strange decision.

Crewe, but close. Vietnam has some of the highest GDP growth in the world, opportunities, start ups, booming population, great places to visits, and it's 33 degree's everyday. It's not perfect, in fact it's infuriating sometimes, but better than Crewe/north-west.

Point well made. Bang a 50p hooker for me, lad.
#Rule1 incoming.
Source tells me Nguyen Phu Thong, Gen Sec of Vietnam has died. Announcement expected tomorrow. If only betting websites allowed you to bet on this stuff.
The amount of alarms any attempt to place such a bet would set off would probably cause the national grid to fail.
Trump, in Pennsylvania, with a rifle... 22/1.
It remains the best group on Facebook. These people are to me what Animal Rights people are to Jim. Except I maybe find more joy in this shit than Jimmy does in Sir Pen Farthing Airlifting Afghan Hounds.
If only Geronimo the alpaca hadn't been murdered, Jay might have ridden him safely down the mountain.
Massive IT outage globally, looks like a complete Microsoft failure?
And yet, my boss has still managed to invite us to a Teams call at 0830.
Christ I hope my system is down today. 30c and I'm WFH.
Annoyingly only the systems that don't affect my job are down
We also appear to be among one of the very few unaffected.Massive IT outage globally, looks like a complete Microsoft failure?

Apparently it's due to cyber security wanks (Crowdstrike) accidentally blocking Windows so MS made a change in Azure that's broken everything. Glorious scenes.
All flights grounded in the US.
Seems to be cloud PCs only, so any normal end user devices with Windows installed on them is fine. Fuck it lads. Hence why it's mostly only affecting systems rather than users.
Chaos here at my place too.
Alright, looks like that's a lot of emails not getting done today.
Gail's unable to take card payments. How will the woke Londoners be able to cope?
Completely unaffected here. Someone send me a virus or something for fuck sake. Seething.
Ah right, so it massively affects hospitals and the likes because cheap cloud terminals. Some hospitals declaring disasters. Eek. People are going to die from this.
Unsure if it's the same cause but the local shop has all of their card machines as well as the ATM outside, down. To be fair to them they've put some hastily written signs up about the shop trying to warn people it's cash only, but most are still getting their baskets to the til before realising. Store manager almost tearing her hair out.
911 responders, too. How many Xboxes is grief worth?
Yeah lots of card payment terminals use Microsoft cloud services.
Fine here but got a text off 'Work IT' saying not to restart my laptop. a) I didn't know they could do that and b) I'm very tempted to restart.
I'm a twit
I was frequently checking for updates and doing all sorts of shit to no avail.
We've skilfully avoided it apart from the business school which use Crowdstrike and have a big VIP section filled with posh twats in the Shard, so that'll be a nice Friday for them.
Yep, work emails are down. I assume teams will be down as well so there's going to be no communication between here and the office.
Email and teams working depressingly well here.
Yep, our org is too slow to have adopted CS at any scale.
Despite everyone panicking, it turns out only the HR Training portal is down. Shame. Or not.
dots
Turns out we can't take payments or access the Direct Debit system this morning, that's it.
I'm not sure there's any way that this could stop me from having to attend a meeting with Social Services and the most unpleasant man in the world in Barking later, but please baby Jesus, find a way.
I have to attend a hospital appointment at 1pm
Rip.
Problem cant be fixed remotely. Needs a manual install. CrowdStrike will be bankrupt by next year.
Atleast their legal team will be kept busy.
This and the rising cloud costs hopefully make people see this "as a service" model is not only financially stupid but also commercially dangerous to business. Bring it all back in house.
Also fuck the tech bros and AI.
Did your AI wife leave you or something?
Yes, for a Click-Boxer.
Eh? EH? EH?
Yes. Very good.Yes, for a Click-Boxer.

Hows the battery? "I didnt know it was unplugged and it shut down"
Official. He's dead. Bring on the KGB-ification.

Our emails came back to life around 12. Teams was fine. Boo.
This could still cover everything from ticket machines to the actual trains.Annoyingly only the systems that don't affect my job are down
Platform information and internal communication systems were down but the software I use wasnt.
