4. This is a test…….. get ready

5. ..only those people who think using a consumer OS for their business is a good idea.

6. Two and half hours ago, I went to the supermarket and bakery. No issues with payment, no issues with busses.
   I'm in southern Germany., FYI.

   My guess is that it is a cyber attack, or the sun's magnetic field just flipped.

7. Turns out MS and AWS runs the world

8. Why is Kate struggling to hide that cheeky smile?? Is she behind all of this?? xD

9. Thank you for your precise, concise reporting on this. I’m sick of listening to US media as they can’t seem to honestly report real news anymore.💕

10. Greetings from St. Petersburg to everyone.

11. Sounds like part of the plot of terminator.

12. Why don't you mention that it was a MICROSOFT IT outage??

13. Meanwhile in China: What outage??? Harmony OS works like a dream 😂😂😂

14. if you have this cyber secyrity why do you need hackers or russian ,chinese spies?
    the west can manage on its own

15. Those exclaim cashlessness is more sophisticated and cash is behind the times would probably being shrinking now.

16. I didn't know about the problem since all my computers (except 1) are running AMD CPUs.
    My Ryzen 7 5700X on Windows 10 Pro 22H2 build has been running fine all day. Rebooting had no problem.

17. Is this related to the solar flare?

18. She seems pretty happy about the outage

20. Ask DW!😅😅😅😅😅😅 U will better luck with Trisha das Gupta from family guy😅😅😅😅😅

21. Look toward who/what entity MS donates/contributes to after they come back online…

22. Crowdstrike pushed security update that BSODs windows. Everybody who uses their services is affected. Even MS internal servers were affected. From what I read it cant be fixed remotelly and requires direct machine access.

23. I'm betting it is related to the DNS that all Internet users use. What could disrupt that is a different question that will take several hours or more before we know anything.

24. Had an international flight and the local flight got cancled fun travel day.

25. FOOL COMPANY MOST OF THE TERMINAL USING WINDOWS XP OLD OPERATING SYSTEM NEVER HOPE WITH MODERN DEVICE EVEN UK BANK ATM USE WINDOWS XP IS NOT MICROSOFT PROBLEM
    
    PROBLEM WITH OLD SOFTWARE

26. Amd that is why you always have a back up and not rely to heavily on the internet

27. didn't notice a thing . i haven't used windows in 20 years 🙂

28. Ok, the Russian, Chinese, Iranians or North Koreans right?

29. is there any country not using microsoft product that doesnt hit by the outage?

30. Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !"
    
    Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam ."
    
    Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!"
    
    Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window ? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically across the plains?…"
    
    Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!"
    
    Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky."
    
    Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction."
    
    Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"

31. We have it in Ukraine twice a day, EVERY DAY!!!
