    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. I went from house sharing with 3 blokes in Manchester to having my own 100m2 gaff overnight #whiteprivilege.

    I won't tell you which is which (spoilered massive imges)....

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
