Time to sue Microsoft and Bill Gates.
Defective Microsoft software is leading to computers to suddenly shutting down, showing the blue screen of death, causing chaos and massive financial damges to media outlets, airline and banking companies.
Is the timing of the disruption to basic services a coincidence? Or is it designed to detract from the seismic political developments in the USA where a presidential candidate was nearly assassinated by his rival, watched by a global audience in stunned disbelief?
Chinese government has banned Microsoft from government computers. The US should do the same.
Some healthy competition is needed again in the world of software, stifled by cartel like practises of Microsoft and Big Tech.
From media
Television channels, airports and banks around the world have been knocked offline in a massive outage causing Windows computers to suddenly shut down.
Sky News’s breakfast show was not on air on Friday morning, replaced by archive footage.
Downdetector, a website which monitors outages, reported sudden spikes in problems with websites including Microsoft applications, banking websites and airline apps.
On Ryanair’s website, the company urged passengers to arrive at airports three hours early blaming a “third party IT issue, which is outside Ryanair’s control and affect all airlines operating across the network”.
Online, users reported problems as far as Australia, New Zealand, India and Japan, with the UK likely to be heavily impacted as during Friday’s rush hour.
Troy Hunt, a cyber security researcher, said in a post on X that “something super weird happening right now” with individuals around the world complaining their Windows computers were suddenly showing the “blue screen of death” and entering recovery mode.
