Computer Updates Cause Airport Chaos
Apparently, a computer update shut down systems used by banks and airports, yesterday. I've never liked updates. Disrupters, that is what they should be called. Yes, disrupters.
Below is a vintage blog 21 February 2019 about irritating updates.
----------------------
Thank god Microsoft cannot update the sun and moon.
Most kids are brought up not to say bad words, unless they are normal conversation at home 24/7 and parents say sh---this, sh--- that. But from time to time, parents slip and use a bad word.
"Daddy that’s a bad word.”
“Sorry honey, it’s these updates.”
Daddy’s frustration comes from lost but not found. Something is bound to be lost during updates. Where’s the dictionary and thesaurus? Where is autosave? Microsoft, in its Gates-full wisdom tells me to upload the file first. And what happened to caps at the beginning of a sentence?
Why fix it if it’s not broken? Break it to justify updates. Daddy is livid because maybe like me, he uses a Microsoft product to write and use pics on blogs. He has photo files organised chronologically into 2017, 2018 and 2019 or by subject matter.
My files disappeared from the desk top and I must retrieve them from somewhere. The sun and moon should thank its lucky stars that Microsoft and company cannot ‘update’ them, otherwise it will be chaos, with the moon dancing above Beethoven House in Bonn in broad daylight and the sun fumbling in the dark at the Champs-Élysées in Paris, muttering in broken French, where am I?
