My mate had his Ibiza holiday cancelled at the last second, forcing him to find an alternative way of catching an STD. Fortunately he lives less than twenty miles from Southend.
What do u mean by STD💀
😂😂😂😂
Incredible comment
Not funny
@@neilcassey1421 Lord Have Mercy 🙏 🥺 😫 😩 😪 😭 🙏
There's a very old saying, "Don't put all your eggs in one basket
Yep that's why cash is king.
don't keep all your farts in one cloud
Yes! I literally just made that comment on another site. Our over-reliance on technology is alarming and this will be far from the first time this happens.
Yes let’s travel back in time to 40s when word is less complicated
fact is, there is very few is able to build the basket and people even dont realize they share the same basket
And this is why having few mega corporations handling everything on some far away server is a dumb idea.
Not for much longer. Freedom is coming from all of them soon.
never merge on a Friday, going to be a late night 😂
This is 🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇
LOL
yeah and never deploy to Production on Friday.
chill ran down my spine
yours late night is others morning lol. But deploying on Fri is rly a bad practice
Turn it off and on again? 😉
😂
Glad I turned my computer and network devices off and unplugged so my PC is safe from the attack. :)
Citing the IT crowd - nice 😂
My Nan has lost almost two hours of Gala Online Bingo. These people are pure evil. 😢😢
I havent seen that on the news. How is it your Nan is being silenced? being hacked by Foxy
Thats Gala jenny-snide, free, free your grannies bingo account, where are the Freedumb shyters.... We need shart resistance..
😂
Go to local bingo instead.
Someone at Crowdstrike..."what's this button for?" 🤣
Type DELETE, and then press ENTER
Joe Biden was probably visiting the head quarters 😂
@CarRamRod-t6d obsessed with what?
@CarRamRod-t6d ???
😂😂😂😂
Skynet is now active!
The rise of the machines
I was thinking more 'Mr Robot'. Everything goes down, no record of finance, debt, home ownership, medical records etc. Maybe one day......
Working in IT, can’t log in, realizing it’s because of Crowdstrike 😭😂
The irony. Dodgy crowdstrike falcon .sys driver - major QA fail
@@SRSR-pc8ti amazing they didnt test a change
Drove past a bank this morning and saw a line of people trying to get their money out! Keep calm and carry cash 😊
💯💯💯
Well those people are stupid lol, assuming they went to take out their money just because of the outage
Despite this a wallet full of £5, £10 and £20 pound notes is still there during this outage. Don't get rid of cash exactly for this reason.
Good thing is that i have zero money in my bank account...😂😂😂
Listen, if this effected my bank account I'd have a darn good excuse for my bills not getting paid.
@@sabrinaestrada3590💯💯💯
One time in my life it's a good thing I'm broke lmao 🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
Awe man I got 7 Dollars in my savings account.
Have they tried turning it off and on again?
Luckily, the biggest IT outage the world has ever seen, "affecting major services including broadcasters across the world" has not affected one of the biggest broadcasters across the world...as here we are...watching the "meltdown"...on the internet...
The world without constant tech would be beneficial, beautiful.
Sorry bud, the world was like that for a long time. It wasn't beautiful lmao
Says a guy using tech 😶🌫️
Im 45 and my 20 was the Bestest of times no mobile smart phones and interweb then, a much more cohesive and respecting society..
says the smooth brain using youtube
Go comment on the radio show about this? Oh wait...
Cash can't crash. Forget digital currency and digital ID.
This is why New York, and California have banned tap and go, and self serve tills. I am English by the way!!
Cash crashes all the time. The Weimar Republic and Zimbabwe and the current USA all come to mind
@@tvviewer4500 wrong use of the word crash
Cryptocurrency is decentralized in computer nodes. This global crash must have occurred through CENTRALIZATION.
To use an analogy. Imagine if there were 20 separate banks in Cleveland that people in Cleveland could use. Now imagine if there were only 1 big bank in Cleveland with many different brick and mortar 🧱 locations throughout the City of Cleveland.
If that one big bank had major internal problems and had to close for the day of Friday, then all people in Cleveland would be screwed.
This issue of increased centralization in "Big Tech" was alluded to in the story.
We already have digital currency by the way, Visa, MasterCard, banking debit cards and credit cards 💳 are digital currency that use cryptography for security and transactions. However, it's a much older form of cryptography that is less secure than what we refer to as "cryptocurrency." Think of the older form as analogous to a musket in the 1700s and the newer crypto technology as analogous to a semi-automatic rifle. Actually, 🤔 that is not the best analogy Visa and MasterCard can handle far more transactions at a far higher rate of speed. Thus far anyways, their are minds working on trying to resolve that problem for decentralized cryptocurrency.
Yeah but if the till doesn't work, the shop still won't accept your cash ...
Leaving everything up to computers is a great human mistake ✌🏼😑👎🏻
Use dvds
Use cash
Use paper
This is why Cash is King.
Tell me, how would cash be valuable if all technology fails? As soon as all payment systems fail, your cash becomes literally worth its material value ...
@@DarkHelixiacash can be used when debt cards or credit cards didn’t work in grocery stores. I witnessed it for 5 years working at grocery store and yes cash is king as alternative for payment.
Timing couldn't be stranger

Pelosi shorts cyber security stock a few weeks ago, trump should be down this week and now half the world stops working. Hmmmmmmm
explain it
@@moonlightwaster
maybe us presidency, trump, idk
It's about bloody time they cancelled the internet!
Nothing but trolls and idiots like me.
...here we go. This behavior is what makes gives the internet its bad reputation. Fishing for likes....pathetic
Funny!
AMEN AMEN AMEN AMEN AMEN AMEN AMEN 🎉
Like! 😂
This is why monopolies don’t work. Someone needs to compete against Microsoft in a big way. This is too much at stake when everyone depends on a singular company especially a global scale.
This issue wasn't caused by Microsoft
CTRL ATL DELETE!!!!
As every day passes life feels like I’m an extra in a scripted play.
💯💯💯💯💯
Curiouser and Curiouser, it's a comedy up close but a tragedy at whole
Feel like I'm living in someone else's nightmare
Feel like I'm living in someone else's nightmare
The mainstream media being affected and taken off air is very alarming, but oh dear, how sad, never mind, I'm sure we'll get over it!!
No loss.
Terrible...but this does demonstrates how the use of CASH REMAINS KING! NOT DIGITAL CURRENCY to survive.
Lawsuits incoming. Imagine if this turns out to be Crowdstrike cheaping out and hiring a junior dev who simply forgot to close his code by adding ; and causing a syntax error of massive proportions
Would not want to be part of the stand up meetings at Crowdstrike right now, yikes somebody is getting fired
Or getting quietly rewarded by the WEF…
Never underestimate the value of a competent software test team.
Maybe they need to turn it off and back on!
Happy Election year, Folks! 😂
Got to love the old cash register
The A.I cybersecurity software got connected to the internet and decided the entire connection is a risk
1000%
I'd like to thank Microsoft for this unexpected day of peaceful work and getting things done! My employer can reach me, my customers can't reach me. Best day ever!
Skynet taking over
I celebrated a long time ago when I got off a mainframe system. There is no way I am getting on "The Cloud".
This is incredibly stupid. The whole point of cloud infrastructure is that it's decentralised and distributed - redundancy can be built in by design without the cost of provisioning and configuring bare metal machines to the extent which would have been previously necessary.
‘ …Computer says ‘no’ …’
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Followed by a single cough
Black Swan event. The 2020s is the decade that just keeps on giving.
Dominion testing they're VOTING machines again b4 elections 😂😂😂
I saw a local ATM with blue screen of death. I couldn’t believe someone would use Microsoft for something so important.
This has been known for some time. Same for Medical computers and Banks, Energy, Railway etc
Digital systems are not infallible
This reason alone is why we shouldnt go to a cashless society.
It's nothing to do with Crowdstrike or Microsoft, a couple of scallies stole a major copper cable overnight. 😀
Yes blames Irish travellers! 😮
Drink every time he says “eh”
The computer had a virus so they gave it a jab.
Pretty sure I’ve seen this in a movie where suddenly the “Update “ was the virus and judgement day begins 🤖

Lord Have Mercy 🙏 🥺 😫 😩 😪 😭 🙏
I am an industrial software programmer. It's just a problem of priority: "it managers" proclaim that security is paramount and is the main object of their focus.
NO: being able to work, provide a service and earn money is paramount.
"we want to be a safe bank: we have decided to wall up the entrance door and all the windows to improve security, no customers can enter and we cannot work but at least we are safe"
Among other things: "The Security" does not exist, there is only a "level of security" depending on how much money, time and work can be spent on it.
Effecting people getting paid
Maybe ask the GRU how they did it?
i'm sure bad actors will take advantage of this. but if the updates that were pushed out have taken systems offline, it's a bit difficult to hack into a system that isn't on.
I wonder how long it will be before they blame Vladimir for this.
It goes to show how vulnerable AI is if our life will be entirely dependent on it
Only if people totally allow it never a problem with cash.
@@Free12609 AI or us?
@@user-te4jw8gk7h both
Not AI but us
This has nothing to do with AI lol
When systems get auto updated, sh*t can happen.
The cashless society has big issues
Ironically, those companies that don't have security software (not a good idea generally) or use cheap ones, don't use Microsoft (perhaps use Linux or Apple) and don't keep systems up to date are not effected.
Honey the computer got covid
Not even the media are being told the truth about this one.
what about the flights lready in the air? not affected?
No
I took a regular flight from Nashville to Sacramento. 16 hour delay. No computer failure, just the airline. Idiots blow stuff out of proportion.
Don't use auto updates..
Weird waking up to this after watching Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning last night!! 😅
😂
They been hacked admit it
The earth will not have enought power to power everything thats being built.
💯💯💯💯
I used 60k of electricity today.
Why are news, banks, drs etc all linked ?
Because certain companies get bailed out by the governments resulting in monopolies which makes people dependent on certain companies
@@2d4e Very handy for when digital tracking( Chinese style ) is enforced.
Because they all use computers and the Internet. It's not that hard to understand
@@enadegheeghaghe6369 They don't have to have access to different facilities. Unlike the scenario we've just had, where one glitch costs millions and causes mayhem. Definitely not the safest.
@@carolewynn9407 millions of computers belonging to hundreds of companies and institutions use Crowdstrike software for their Cybercecurity. That was the source of the problem. Crowdstrike pushed out a buggy update to their Falcon software which messed up computers that received the update. Like I said, its not that hard to understand.
Restart windows on safe mode, uninstall crowdstrike software , restart windows , or restart windows go into troubleshooting restore for past backup before update and stay with older version. Problem fixed till they get everything updated.. no reason to stay like deer in headlights and watch your business burn. This not that hard.
Skynet being activated!
Medieval age revisited
💯
It's going back to 1987 0:18 😮
💯
who let the intern upload a patch on a friday??!! 😤
Those using the uk railways experienced no difference to the usual chaos.
Surgeries are having to hand write prescriptions -electronic prescriptions are also down in some places
Why are the OS suppliers leaving security to third parties? We use crowdstrike for Linux at work, I argued that SELinux would be sufficient (I admit as an SRE I 'm not a security expert). Also it looks like this was not caught by QA testers (or QA automation) which is a big miss imo. As a Linux guy I find it scary that a large part of this important infrastructure is windows based.
I agree, I work in tech also and this just screams poor qa. How did this get past testing. It's shocking.
And what happens when the AI is the threat. This was a hack and this is there way of covering it up.
"Mac and Linux hosts are not impacted"
Different driver than windows
But they are impacted since they are connected to internet services which are down. Link in chain is down for everyone.
I work in IT and it works on my machine. I have no issues.
Hahahahah!!! :) I get it
I'm a developer and it works on my machine
I drive a manual car. My friends ask my why boy automatic or a tesla and my response is alwahs the same " I like to keep control of my car as much as possible"
Then they ask, why don't I never use Siri or Alexa and i give them a save response
"There's no way I'm giving a robot control of my possessions, i don't even likr automatic cars, i like to keep as much control as possible"😊
cancel Crowdstrike
Microsoft caught IT Covid.
Serious companies do not use Microsoft for their critical systems
Easy fix. Switch to a linux server
🔥🔥💯
It was unforgivable! I had a Golf Clash tournament on my iPad to play. Cheers, Bill.
Only impacts cyborgs, not everyone is addicted to computer to stay alive.
Young generations are addicted to devices
Testnet??? We don't need no stinking testnet.
That's why we release updates on a Tuesday 😂 Someone is on the late shift tonight
Never heard such scaremongering....such an over reaction.
Unfortunately CrowdStrike cannot detect internal threats for incompetence.
Mate of mine was forced to stay put after a flight to Turkey was cancelled, now he has to find somewhere else in england to buy fake designer gear and turkey teeth
back to paper and pen
I knew technology will fail us. We’ll go back to basics. 😢
Ban AI
Sky News wiped out, but there were also some negative consequences of the outage!
Where's my marshmallows?
Update failed 🤣
CrowdStrike down 20% on pretrading .............. how low will it tank when markets open..........Buying opporunity ??
Imagine if Skynet was in operation...
It's funny how 1000s of shops and businesses who could only take card payments suddenly find the ability to take cash!
Question: is the blue screen sole outcome of this alleged problem or ...?
Always turn off auto-updates
Could this be the fault of one incompetent programmer?
This is the second time I think...because about a month or two ago I couldn't do my payroll because of something like this was happening.
Falcon would loose Crowdstrike 83 Billion what a useless company
