      Microsoft’s big outage is beginning to affect more and more systems.

      Turns out that even things which don’t seem to depend on Microsoft can actually only last for a limited time if it goes away

        I was watching a doomer AI video about how it would hold us hostage by infiltrating all our medical transportation and energy infrastructure.
