> we dont have 911 either

Holy cow...

Who on earth requires a Windows-based backend (or whatever else had CrowdStrike, in the shop or outside) for regular (VoIP) phone calls.

This should really lead to some learnings for anyone providing any kind of phone infrastructure.



Or lathe, or cranes, or alarms, or hvac... what the actual fuck.

Next move should be some artisanal as mechanical-as-possible quality products, or at least Linux(TM) certified product or similar (or Windows-free (TM)). The opportunity is here, everybody noticed this clusterfuck, and smart folks don't like ignoring threats that are in your face.

But I suppose in 2 weeks some other bombastic news will roll over this and most will forget. But there is always some hope


That’s not it. 911 itself was down.


Oh, great. I guess that counts as phone infrastructure.
