This is actually kinda crazy. It just goes to show how a lot of infrastructure we take for granted is a lot more fragile than one would believe. Kinda concerning. At least this isn’t technically critical infrastructure, I guess?
it should be considered ‘critical’ infrastructure tho not too much. all sorts of gov services were down because of this lol, including texting/video calls (voice calls ok) to 119 (911 equivalent).
