I'm no IT expert but you only have to look out the window to see that the clouds aren't working today.

More seriously, a welcome reminder of the need to not be overly reliant on type of technology and the importance of cash 👍

Re: Global IT Outages

Outage caused by Crowdstrike (?) forcing out an update that had a bad effect on Microsoft Windows.

I worked in Computer support for thirty years, implementing many s/w updates and upgrades.
I'd have been hung, drawn and quartered if I caused a tiny percentage of the problems reported today..

Don't these big tech companies have some form of change control??
Microsoft is notorious for forcing updates on users, to hell with the consequences.
