Unfortunately people take absolutely zero interest in supplying weapons to other countries, its not until things like this happen when we start to take notice. Sadly the inconvenience to us will still dictate most peoples thoughts.
seems similar to the TSB fiasco of a few years back, an update gone totally haywire, except this affects 'the cloud' where all organisations with outsourced data storage held in the cloud can't access their info. Technology. we take it for granted, then we're hopeless when it fails. Bring back the 'cash society' so at least one can buy some groceries for the weekend, many/most computerised payment systems are down and no real clue when they will be up and running again

How technology has changed. Started working on mainframes in 1984 - very few problens back then given how contained access was.

I was an 'operator' on IBM 360 and 370 series in the late 1960s/early 70s .. huge rooms full of equipment with about the same 'capacity' as a modern laptop .. mind you, even back then we had clever boffins working on very primitive comparison sites for life and car insurance, systems that only 'came to life' after the development of the internet .. happy memories of pretty cushy, well paid shift work jobs
All systems working at M & S this morning. No problems with scan as you shop or with card payments.
My husband had a routine blood test at GP surgery this morning, and the nurse had to hand write the labels. My sister-in-law had her blood test cancelled at her GP surgery.

Still the same a month later. I check daily on the website and still getting this for all 22 centres.
Now where did I hide them back in the early 90s...

As long as they can show the golf & cricket today then I'll cope with everything else.
