  • jazzer changed the title to Todays Sainsbury's IT glitch

First McDonakds then Sainsburys with their devious 2 for 1 offers 

Is this a cyber attack by the eating hackers ? 

What next, exposing the raw ingredients in KFC, stopping fish fryers remotely from reaching cooking temperature or redirecting takeaway food delivery's to homeless people (actually if hackers are reading this I take credit for the last idea) 

Maybe it's a prelude to an invasion cutting the public off from junk food so we all starve 🤔 

Only conspiracy nuts know the truth 🤣

Hmm, Let's see, started with Meta a few weeks ago, then we had Microsoft, then McDonalds and Now Sainsbury's and Tesco... Probably others I've forgotten about as well.

Somehow I doubt this is a coincidence.  

People say you can go cashless..., but you clearly can't if you want people to be able to pay when technology breaks down, is ddosed or whatever.

I'm right 

Today its Greggs that's down 🫣

Thanks for that explanation.  Are any of the computing industry papers/journals covering the system admin errors and why they occuurred?

[ETA:] I gather it's a worldwide industry standard rather than a regulation.  See eg:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Payment_Card_Industry_Data_Security_Standard.  Assuming the standard amendment is indeed the underlying cause, which I guess is likely, it would be interesting and useful to know whether merchants, retailers, etc in other countries have experienced similar system failures in  incorporating the amendments.

    • I remember halfpennies. Farthings had gone by my time. 2/6 (half a crown) that looked very similar to 2s.  
    • Looks like moths have been at it!
    • "They sold everyone, directly or indirectly, on the notion that Covid, the energy crisis and the war in Ukraine had nothing to do with the sorry state of the UK and that it was 14 years of Tory rule and Truss' nightmare budget that was the source of all the country's woes. " This simply isn't true. Global issues all play their own parts (as they do with other countries) but the UK govt had  been especially abject for years. Improvements could not be made with them in power. That's not to say everything is all roses when they go To claim parties shouldn't try and sell themselves in an election is absurd - but if labour did overpromise or dig into specifics (which they partly couldn't because they didn't have their hands on the books) then we live in a country where a population and media is happy to punch on them and relect the shabby last govt I mean if any argument I made was supported by some posters I would rethink it but thats just me
