I used to work for a government department my job was to source technology for people that suddenly went blind, deaf or loss of mobility etc. putting their jobs at risk. The manager called me in the office as I arrived at work early and told me the server was down so computers where all off. She was trying to contact computer support that was based over a hundred miles away to send out a computer engineer. I asked her to give me 5 minutes before trying them again. I knew the evening before electricians were waiting to start work after we left. My hunch was right, one of the electricians had unplugged the server to plug his drill in. I plugged it back in and it rebooted. The manager was so relieved she had not booked technicians to travel all that way to replace a plug.
Back in 2003 I accidentally shutdown a switch in Manchester for 5 minutes. It was the days before we were so reliant on the Internet. The guy at the desk next to me said I turned white. I went down to the lead network engineer to confess what I'd done expecting the sack and in his broadest Yorkshire he said "well you'll never f££king do that again!" And sent me back to work. I never heard any more about it.
I once deleted an entire database by mistake. Single click followed by another to "confirm". Tens of thousands of dollars of effort deleted. Thank goodness for daily backups. But for a few hours it was horrible.
@@Wheelieblue It was pretty bad. I found myself thinking "do I need to increase my mortgage to pay this back?" A single mistake that took 10 seconds to make, that could have affected the rest of my life. As I said, thank goodness for daily backups.
@@betadecay6503 It was a single click followed by another to confirm. Usually to manipulate that database I had to write some code. But there was an option to delete it at a base level.
Side note about the IT crisis. My mum came off a 14 hour flight from Taipei (she was visiting me) and got to Amsterdam during this issue. Flights cancelled and given a 15 euro voucher, no hotel or food, her rescheduled flight was cancelled. Ended up having to fly to Manchester (she was going to Edinburgh) and then get the train up to Glasgow. KLM staff doing nothing, like i said she was given a 15 euro voucher and thats it. All she wanted was to be home after a 14 hour flight and staff treated the customers with contempt and the airline was useless.
The reason the Big End in you car no longer goes is the On Board Computer that will shut down the car when oil pressure drops, when you have OBC issues it is it doing it's job and preventing further damage when one of the mechanical systems fails.
This feels like the kind of thing I should be sharing on mystery hour, but egg shells won't deter snails or slugs. They can crawl along the edge of a razorblade comfortably and climb across shards of broken glass. Egg shells are not a problem for land based gastropodal molluscs - in fact some snails quite enjoy eating egg shells. At that point the radishes are just an accompaniment and you've given them a rounded meal. My qualification - I have kept giant land snails for over 20 years and read countless books about them!
If it was a bug in a patch then several people will be having pointed conversations with management. A software change has to be specified, designed, coded, tested, and deployed correctly. This wasn’t one person’s failure, most likely. It was a failure of process at an $83 billion company. EDIT I should have listened 22 minutes into the video. Two experts basically said everything I typed above.
Can you tell me why nobody seems to have a bootable USB to get in? I also wonder how Windows will deal with the media mess when it wasn't them. But I guess it's fair to say they created the need for those additional services in the first place.

Blaming the guy that pressed the button is like blaming Jonny Frost for the outcome of operation market garden.

Use Linux. I don't even need anti virus. Almost every minor crash has been recovered. Certainly Linux is not totally perfect but is fit for purpose. Microsoft never was it was all about money.
The government has used their power to influence the public by their own personal views rather than to reflect the views of the public they get elected to represent. They create laws to assist them. How then can we bring pressure upon them to represent us post election? Is our prized democracy working? We are being led from the top and their main motivator seems to be money. As a working class person and a woman I am grateful to those demonstrators and law breakers who went before me to allow me to vote at all. If you were to list priorities surely climate being existential should be at the top and form the backdrop for any other action.
Kamala CAN NOT pick Newsom. The POTUS and VP cannot be from the same state and Kamala is from California, so if she is the nominee, it can't be with Newsom as her VEEP. US Constitution is my proof, and I'm a 49 year old who learned this a few years ago. :) muah much love from Maine
I feel bad for the group who made that mistake. It was probably just a bit of a mind blurp that normally would've been a roll back and everything would've been fine and people would've barely noticed. But just in this instance, total global chaos. It's just a game of russian roulette that one dev team/ product manager etc lost.

A Ddos attack. It's pretty common knowledge for anyone within the tech community or anyone who has a solid tech savvy head on them. A hacker/group of hackers got bored somewhere in the world, flooded the internet or specific servers with a tonne of traffic. The internet went nuts, then they fixed it. It happens quite often in isolated cases just a lot of cyber security news doesn't make breaking news unless it is on a larger scale. Even then they don't like to go into the details of what went wrong for obvious security and exploitation reasons.
