O2 network down: Millions left without 4G data access due to Ericsson software outage[^]
I'm just surprised we haven't had "SND CODZZZZ URGNT!!!" in QA ...
Mind you I was watching the TV news and that had a young lady complaining that farcebok was a human right (almost) and I'm thinking "Lady, you clearly have no idea at all how much has to work behind the scenes to get your status update posted at all ..."

I use O2 and I realised that if I was depending on the satnav functionality of my phone, depending on map update information on the road, I would be a bit stuck today.
I imagine there will be a lot of people out there on the road who are going to be affected by this.
(unless they have pre-loaded their maps...)

Yes, I do, but have no data. Only voice and SMS.

After writing mobile apps for a couple of years, I realized just how huge the security issues of the entire stack (radio protocols, platforms, and apps) were. I stopped writing apps and ditched my phone. I only really miss the navigation, but my stand-alone gps is adequate.

Eventually, when they crack it, too, think how useful it would be to be able to scan a page of code for bugs!

I assume you meant to write "think how many more people it would make unemployed"?

It would be worth it.

I'm disappointed no one has commented that there are missing semi-colons and the equality is using == instead of ===, which would then result in a religious debate around the concept of truthy/falsy and a debate on jslint vs ESLint which would, in due course, spiral down to comments on personal hygiene and ancestry.
Sigh. When I was a lad these things were important.
