As of 3:21PM local time the cause remains unknown. There is still no ETA on when 911 will return.
As of 3:48PM local time service has been restored.
The lack of failsafes for critical infrastructure in this shithole is truly astounding. I really hope that Carrington Event 2.0 doesn’t occur in any of our lifetimes, but if it does, we as a society will pay dearly for the hubris of our overlords
I realise why the US elected Joe Biden now - in a representative democracy, who better to represent the frail, decrepit, moribund state of American infrastructure better than Joseph Robinette Biden Jr.?
Now, THAT’S what I call representation
Super cool to regularly wonder “is this a cyber attack which would be the logical start to some major shit kicking off or is our vital infrastructure just down for no reason again”
numygod I bet CHYNER is behind this cyber attack
it’s their fault our phone provider cheaped out
Wonder how many 911 outages we’ll have in the USA this year because of that
It would be very funny if China just decided to fuck over Massachusetts in particular

What does this mean?
My friend just showed me this for the first time
30 mins of no pigs could be worse lol (yes I know I know), but yeah this is how critical infrastructure is these days in the US. Not enough engineering effort goes into its reliability but its also more and more centralized. Worst of both worlds
Those damned Windows updates.
Shout-out to the engineer that caused and fixed this. My money is on someone accidentally pushing to prod.
policeEnabled = falseaw fuck i hate it when that happens
literally 9/11
