Sounds like it’s happened because of an update from a company called Crowd Strike🤷♂️ Don't say that. I have shares in Crowd Strike and they are the darlings of Wall Street at the moment. Nearly doubled my money in 3 years.

Who decided to change software just before the busiest day of the year (according to BBC 1 o'clock news) for aircraft travel? Oh dear, doctors having to write prescriptions by hand. Got an e-mail from Greta? He got this... not sure how real it is though. Hi, it's Greta, Before I die I want to have sex with a badger, or someone called badge. It's my life long ambition other than saving the planet. If you can help me, please tell me who I can reach a green leaf and handjob out to. Green peace and love, 'Goes for it' Greta!

Its definitely down to them mate and some update they did overnight,just watched an interview with their CEO And the update probably couldn't be done properly, and perhaps it was kind of late. The reasons for updates in general are to make things safer. Addition: on Swe tv just now, when Crowdstrike was done with their safety update for Microsoft users something was wrong with it; could have been made wrong in some way - whatever the reason, it made lots of computers to break down world wide affecting bank systems, transportation, communication, hospitals, betting, the swedish mining industry et cetera. Are Apple users suffering just as much? I'm amazed conspiracy theorists aren't writing more about it!! I have thousands of ideas ...

It really is shite. Hope they go bump, everything I dislike about the south There's one in Manchester now. I first came across Gail a couple of weeks ago in Manchester when at a wedding at Manchester cathedral. Yeah I heard epidemic had become a pandemic. Did you go in? I don't drink coffee so maybe I'm missing something there.

To what extent does the West depend upon the WWW for defence? I assume they're extremely dependent on it, the whole world has become far too reliant on the Internet and IT systems functioning with little or no contingency. I'd like to think that they've got contingencies for such events though. Fun fact, the Internet was originally created for military use. It was called ARPANET initially.

Not that I want to sound crazy or am into apocalypticism, but I've been saying for years that relying on tech will be the death of a big chunk of the human race. Before I went to Cambodia, I got well interested in how the population of Angkor disappeared in the 15th Century. The main theory is the advanced technology they were using at the time - a massive hydration system of canals to water their crops - failed due to flood and drought: www.bbc.com/travel/article/20211201-angkor-asias-ancient-hydraulic-cityThere are other examples from history of relying on technology too much. Already this year in the UK we've had various tech issues, including e-passport gates failing and causing massive queues, Greggs closing across the UK because their systems couldn't even accept cash payments, and more. The fact we rely so much on imports and pretty much every business relies on third-parties isn't great. I thought this was a good article on the Microsoft/Crowdstrike issue: www.wheresyoured.at/crowdstruck-2/
