I think house alarms are limited to 20 minutes anyway aren’t they? Yeah its finally came back on -ADT have said it was related. Me and wife late for work today but what can you do.

My fault i should have written it down as ADT said you could turn it off via the panel with this code. Was dying for a leak as well. Wife suggested use the shower but i was like na gross luckily it came on about 15 mins ago. So only a hour late for work Wifes started a new job so timing couldn't have been worse for her. But this minor compared to the poor people in airports today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no idea about an outage until someone posted some links. Nothing I have or use is affected. I hope that any banking service stupid enough to use Microsoft's cloud is back up before I get to the pub this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It only fits either a shower and sink or toilet and sink so we opted for shower. Its abit of a crap design to be honest cant even get a door on it thats why we went for the shower dont wanna be smelling the wife's shit 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 I suspect a few companies will be looking at their business continuity plans and trying to figure out which genius thought that failing over to another region from the same provider was a good enough secondary service We use Aws and gave exactly the same problem because nobody wants to think too hard about what happens if Amazon balls up in such a way that multiple regions are affected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably does it all the time. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
