Smart technologies are too much

Thpsguy

Ever feel like we relie too much on smart techblike why do syoeemarket chilllers and lower grids need to be run remotly causing cyber attack concerns 

Even TVs don't need it we can just use smart boxes for catch up stuff and it's going too far woru video games needing updates all the time 

The internet just complicates things

  • The Microsoft outage yesterday and today is causing me all sorts of problems.

    A payment to a company on their email link has been showing as pending on my bank account. It’s a custom order for necessary work to my house. I use Apple but the company is probably not receiving my emails because they haven’t replied.

    Emails to some others haven’t been received. Fortunately, only one email is urgent.

    My prescription is lost in the system somewhere between the GP Surgery and the Pharmacy. 

    Links to online products are corrupted. 

    Online and email technology isn’t a good thing to rely on, but there are no viable alternatives. I wonder how much it would cost the country to reconnect the old telephone wiring so that people would have an alternative. At least fax machines would work.  Can’t cost that much compared to the billions that goes missing through a corrupt core of tax evaders.

    My smart phone and other ‘smart’ devices aren’t smart enough to fix the issue. Unless Microsoft fixes the issue soon, I’ll  be too exhausted, stressed and behind with things to switch my smart TV on.

    I had a power outage here last night and wi-fi went down too.  I admit that it did trigger a phone-calls to my daughter and her fella to see if they were alright and if they were having similar issues.  The that "void" of how to fill my time in a different way that I had subconsciously got planned. 

    I hope that your issues get resolved soon - w/r/to viable options maybe if the meds are urgent a physical note could be collected and taken to the pharmacy?

    Do you remember how lovely the clear blue skies looked when flights were cancelled because of the Icelandic volcano eruption?  Maybe there's something in that is what I'm holding on to.

    The skies were wonderful during Covid too and so peaceful.
