There’s some sort of mass outage happening. Half the checkouts in Woolies Oakleigh wasn’t working and a constant announcement complex wide alerting us of a technical problem.
The Rush hour on Triple M wasn’t playing and came podcast only and have mentioned banks going down in the CBD and their own equipment wasn’t loading to air on radio.
I wonder what’s going on.
Crowdstrike (core service) is down. Looootta shit hitting the fan. But on the up sky news is apparently utterly off air so cheers
Thank God EFTPOS at the restaurant my friend and I caught up at was fine or we or they would have been in the shit.
Yeah. Thank god my Apple Pay for commbank was working with some checkouts open too or no pizza for me.
Nah, they blow the dust off the ol' ratchet-ratchet and go manual

Bugger. Thanks. Just had a look. Got the news on now.
I was expecting my laptop to blue screen.
Oh why couldn’t it have happened when I was at work.
Some sort of issue with microsoft PCs apparently.
Bummer. This’ll be interesting. Going to absorb some news and see what happens from it.

hopefully telly is still on for later
Big W self checkouts weren't working either.
All of them? I'm lucky some werre working or otherwise no pizza for me :(
Bunnings online is pretty much down - they wouldn't take my money and i had to press buttons a dozen times to even get it to try.
Vlines whole communication system is dead, so all vline trains are suspended
Edit: Commbanks PayID is dead (BSB and account number still work). UBanks customer service is apparently dead too and are saying it's a good idea to call them another day.
Edit edit: there's apparently a national emergency meeting underway about it, according to the ABC
