Bait & switch by @FlyFrontier. Before the new Companion Pass went live, the official web site said that miles bookings were allowed with Companion Pass. See archived link: web.archive.org/web/20250124… Once it actually went live, they deleted that page. Can't book with miles.

Merry Christmas ya filthy animals. The FINAL GlitterBomb 5.0 has autonomous drones :) Took some chances and sort of swung for the fences here as a tribute to the whole series. Thanks for coming along for the 5 year ride. *full vid in comments*

First time at Deptford Mall in years…with the holiday crowd it almost looked like a regular Saturday from the old days. Was nice to see no empty storefronts.
Looks like @Azure is having a major outage, including Azure DNS. FML.

Details on how we caused an 23 min outage for~50% of @Cloudflare's network today. The root cause was a typo in a router configuration on our private backbone. We've applied safeguards to ensure a mistake like this will not cause problems in the future. blog.cloudflare.com/cloudfla…

Looks like @Cloudflare DNS is back online (at least from my location). Will be interested to read the incident report.

Now confirmed:
We are aware that some regions may be experiencing issues with some Cloudflare services. We are currently investigating.
There appears to be a major @Cloudflare issue that is affecting DNS and a large number of Internet sites that rely on that... Nothing on their status page, yet.
There’s a lot of buzz right now about a “massive DDoS attack” targeting the US, complete with scary-looking graphs (see Tweet below). While it makes for a good headline in these already dramatic times, it’s not accurate. The reality is far more boring. 1/X nitter.gq/JDaIey/status/12726439…
This DDoS attack is serious. It has taken down Instagram, Facebook, T-Mobile, Verizon, and Twitch.... 2020 is something else.

Finally an official acknowledgement of the large-scale outage that has been going on for hours. If you have T-Mobile, this is why your phone hasn't worked all afternoon.
Our engineers are working to resolve a voice and data issue that has been affecting customers around the country. We’re sorry for the inconvenience and hope to have this fixed shortly.
Awesome launch! Congrats to the @SpaceX and @NASA teams! #LaunchAmerica Glad to see the USA back to manned launches!

No more “go, no go!” radio calls now that it’s all done from the controller’s screens. I feel like they need to have a robot announce it over the audio feed anyway :-) #LaunchAmerica

.@AstroBehnken and @Astro_Doug have arrived at the launch pad and are in the process of getting strapped inside the Crew Dragon before liftoff at 4:33 p.m. ET. Watch live: nasa.gov/live

Anyone else thinking “Thing 1”, “Thing 2”? :-) #LaunchAmerica
Now I'll have to reach out directly to the restaurant to figure out how to get the driver their tip because I don't want them to think I'm a jerk who took back a tip. Would be nice if @UberEats actually read my support ticket instead of pasting form letters. 2/2

The support at @UberEats is completely worthless. They refunded me a tip for an order I placed for some reason (I did not intend or want the tip refunded) and now they just keep pasting different irrelevant form letters to me in support chat. 1/2
This about sums up the financial markets today. youtube.com/watch?v=_asNhzXq…
