yeah, these companies need to be told to stop relying on cloud services for everything.

its wild to me how many critical things that absolutely do not need the internet are relying on the internet.

much blame to go around here:

- whoever designed the stupid alert system.

- the marketing departments in countless companies ignoring engineers when they market to normie customers “connect everything”

- the hotel company for seemingly doing no dilligence at all. and just blindly listening to some salesman “connect everything”

- accountant types and their “we can save pennie’s if we cut all of these corners.” and the stupid corners they choose to cut.

- etc…

on a macro scale it’s amazing to me how many people are victims to slimey car salesman types leading to situations like this.
