reports of massive worldwide internet outage

[confusedaunt]

Just warning you - obviously if you are on here then it hasn't hit you hard! But I have just lost google, and my work internet connection

Fine here!
But someone had just posted about SKY News being down... maybe they've been affected.

It's not an Internet outage it's an IT outage of MS cloud services.

Is it wrong that I’m reeeeally hoping my work laptop won’t work when I turn it on??

My Sky news app is working though as it just told me about the problem.

Me too 😭

well, I can't do any work, so all good here!

Probably couldn't ask for a better day for it to happen 🤣

You lucky sod.

Daft question. Are supermarkets in the U.K. affected. We are almost out of food. 🤦‍♀️

Patient Access and the NHS database is down. I couldn’t order my repeat prescription this morning. I assume it’s connected. I’ll have to phone the practice like the good old days!

I have a day off today but my work uses a lot of Google systems - oh dear

Me too!

It's a sunny Friday. Oh dear. I can't work. Shame. 😁

This reads like a Russian bot trying to get us to panic buy.

I doubt there will be an imminent effect on toilet roll.

I think it's a fair enough question. I don't want to trog to the supermarket only to discover their payment system is down either !!!

It’s brilliant. Gail’s couldn’t take payment for my iced latte!

I didn't know people still said 'trog'! 😀I don't want to either, plus I have a new asthma inhaler to pick up from Boots.

I’m impressed with my work who actually texted me to warn me that all our systems are down. DH has just joked that his work would probably either not tell them or email him…

Perhaps evidence that monopolies in tech are a bad thing.

Went to the GP this morning and all their systems were down. I WFH for the NHS and our systems are fine.

I'm at an airport departure gate hoping my flight take off! Just got checked off on a piece of paper. 🤞🏻

I've picked the right day to be on leave. It will be chaos at work.

Our coop was only taking card payments. Which meant I had to have my porridge without a dollop of Greek yoghurt on top. Devastated. Thankfully the sourdough shop was still taking payments.

(on a serious note, I hope it doesn't impact patients/vulnerable people)

My local ones are

Edit above to say 'CASH' payments 🤦🏼‍♀️

@Footbull promise I’m neither a bot or Russian. In fairly rural GLOS. Have looked online and can’t see any info. Don’t want to be driving round looking for a supermarket where I can pay!! (Also recovering from a wisdom tooth out so need to buy yet more soft food!)
