    I can’t believe this isn’t satire. I hope these incompetent fuckers get sued into bankruptcy

      I straight up thought it was satire. How can you be so fucking detached. Basically caused the biggest information infrastructure disruption in human history, probably billions in losses, and then be like “my bad lol here’s a giftcard”.

        Do we have any solid data on that yet? I have my doubts that this caused more damage than WannaCry did a few years ago, especially since it’s reversible without the need of a backup

          Brother, or sister, I know fuck all about information technology. You make a good point and definitely know way more about this than i do. But I will say this, I don’t think wannacry disrupted millions of peoples travel plans all at once. so maybe less damage, but I think it was Hella more disruptive to the general population .

      There’s definitely some clause with the $10 gift card that says you can’t sue them if you actually take one lol.

      I’m still not sure. It’s hard to believe anyone at their company would OK this idea.

      Are they actually trying to deliberately kill their brand?
