Phoenix Survival- Blue screen of death

[00:00:05] You're listening to P.B.N. Your path down. You've just been through this that already have no interaction. Good morning. P.B.N. How are you doing? All right, so it is the day after the blue screen of death.

[00:01:24] Yes, that is what we are calling it at work. work, that is what we're touting it outside of work because guess what? I am dead in the water when it comes to work. I spoke live on Insta with James as well

[00:01:39] as did my own live on Insta in regards to it because of what all it was affecting. To find out that my computer had to be sent back to corporate to be wiped. Yes you heard that correctly, wiped which means three years of

[00:01:55] information that I have saved documents whatever because we are not allowed to back a protected computer on an outside source will be lost. On top of that I have been also notified that there is no guarantee of pay for next week because

[00:02:14] they do not have a time frame of how quickly I could get my laptop back and if I am not working I am not making money. Which in this household things are

[00:02:26] tight as it is to now be told there is an entire chance that I could go several days without pay is going to hurt us financially in a big sort of way because

[00:02:41] we are already at a point where the baby now needs to be upgraded car seats and holy cow that is something I went to price some and yeah they are not cheap looking at around $200 for a replacement car seat so after this live I am

[00:03:06] actually gonna go to once upon a child see what I can find from the second shop to see if they've got one that's reasonable and a good condition if not okay there's our investment because our child safety is number one but it is a

[00:03:19] big hit when you still got to get the months worth of groceries yes so right now it is a bit of a complaint only because of the fact that this screen the blue screen of death did not just affect me it affect millions of people

[00:03:38] globally that being said when I was in sorry when I was in the store actually when I shipped off my laptop yesterday at FedEx I was speaking to the FedEx workers asked them if they were affected it by it in any way and their answer

[00:03:57] was no but it did affect their credit card readers which right there we already knew for those of you who didn't know it was affecting banks ATMs gas stations in Indiana and Illinois I believe is what someone in James live had

[00:04:15] said yesterday we saw that it was affected 911 emergency communication systems and I say were but most likely still is because it affected a lot of major hospitals a lot of hospitals period California New Jersey New York Ohio

[00:04:33] just all all across just the US all across the UK American Delta and believe was it Southwest American Delta there was another one word down completely down Delta did not come back up until much later or you know a little bit later in

[00:04:55] the day compared to the other ones let me you know let me check this so I am looking at the birds in the sky on my flight radar app and I can tell you this

[00:05:10] I'm not near as many flights as I was would be expecting let's see who is this this is a private jet so it looks like air transit jet blue was didn't go down for any reason it didn't seem like they were in the air the entire time Delta

[00:05:34] seems to be back up and running let's see a lot of private when Southwest is back up that's what it was Southwest and American now it did affect a lot of international airlines as well Americans fully back up to it looks like

[00:05:55] alright but it just goes to show this it wasn't something that was gonna affect just one person it affects many and I've got my theories and like I had told James in the group I had been saying hey this is this is gonna happen

[00:06:12] this is what's gonna happen and I've been saying it if you want to collapse a society you do it from the inside out because what do you do it makes it easier for people to accept the changes and accept their quote help from

[00:06:26] others and what do you do when you're gonna attack a nation you take out the means of other people being able to get to them and help them but you disabled the transit system you disabled the medical the health care the

[00:06:39] financial system it's just it's just a part of it so we're seeing that now I've got one or two theories you're either gonna attack while people are scrambling to look left you know now all of a sudden you're coming from the right or

[00:06:56] you wait till people get comfortable you wait till people let this subside and then don't think about it and then boom you hit again you hit again in a way that it's gonna be twice as hard people are gonna you know you'll have a few

[00:07:13] people who were still vigilant but other people me like oh it was just a fluke this was not a cyber attack I'm not buying it I'm not buying what they're selling now another thing I want to let people know if you've ordered Amazon if you've

[00:07:30] got medication coming in which I did because my insurance provider through my employer requires that I have to use Amazon for my prescriptions so I am waiting on some prescriptions to come in here is the notice that I've received

[00:07:49] even though it says it had shipped said it shipped for something else I had ordered from Prime Day it goes a small number of deliveries may arrive a day later than a participated due to a third-party technology outage yes you

[00:08:07] heard that correctly a third-party technology outage no worries right except for the fact that this affected some hospitals to the point that they use epic those programs are now self-deleting which could be a bit of an issue

[00:08:32] could be a big issue so it is concerning to think that this is gonna affect us on a much grander screen scheme yes grander scheme then people realize or the fact that it could potentially be a this is not gonna be an overnight fix if you're

[00:08:58] part of the element I in which funny is someone had shared in the group about how to fix the blue screen of death do it yourself fix out are you feeling lucky are you is amazing with these links had put it in there and Joe right here

[00:09:18] respond it remember that if you have bit locker you might as well jump a bridge so for this will work for some this will won't work for many I had already sent off my laptop for per works orders or I would have attempted that

[00:09:34] myself because if I am not gonna be paid for not working unfortunately even though it is out of my control this is nothing that I caused I'm gonna be the one who's gonna be punished for it and so are tons of other people and

[00:09:50] there's nothing we can do I didn't cause this emails going off already okay so this is out so okay this might have a package coming in apparently it's not gonna be delayed we'll see fingers crossed speaking of which I don't know how

[00:10:19] many of you missed it but for prime day for prime day I actually did order a few things I actually ordered a radio or a set of radios that were marked down for

[00:10:37] prime day let me go to my order history and I'm gonna pull it up I do have it next to me it's called tide radio H3 it's a TD H3 ham radio eight band long rechargeable 2500 ma ma H I know I'm saying that wrong large batteries range

[00:10:59] walkie-talkies rechargeable handheld portable two-way radios wireless replication DTM FM radio but this radio is also rated for GMRS as well as ham so that is one of the big sellers here it is back now up to $60 I got it for 50 on

[00:11:20] prime day actually Rick Austin had sent the link to me and had recommended it so I was like you know what we have talked about communication in this household multiple times we had some long-range walkie-talkies that it didn't exactly

[00:11:36] hold up so we like all right we'll give this a chance we'll see how it works I'm excited I am gonna actually have to reach out to Portion with help as far as programming and setting this up because it is completely foreign to me

[00:11:55] I am new to this the only other things I have I mentioned before I've got a snap press coming in because I'm gonna be honest with you love making the drop pouches which I will be having more made ready to sell I will have

[00:12:11] some go into prepper camp but putting all of those snaps in by hand with a hammer is getting old love y'all to death but I have somehow only missed twice and caught

[00:12:23] my hand twice so so far so good but it's still not fun not fun so this is gonna give me more precise give me more accuracy and less finger smashing in the long run as well I am looking forward to it I've got different patterns

[00:12:41] coming for it I've got one I'm working on with a tan like camo on the inside with American flags on the outside because why not let's be patriotic gonna make some bright colorful ones for kids or adults doesn't matter but no

[00:12:59] communications is key this is something we talked about he was actually happy my partner is happy I ordered it because he found my Amazon order and said did you order more security cameras not upset by it because one we need it

[00:13:16] more security cameras and one of ours had broken and was scratched to all high hell so you can't see out the little ends very well my chickens have somehow been getting loose which again I suspect one of the neighborhood kids

[00:13:33] is coming over and letting them out so there's a second camera to try to see what's going on there because if world goes to shit my chicken's livelihood my family's livelihood could be depended upon that knowing who's causing issues

[00:13:52] knowing what could be the problem you know could be life or death in a sense sorry I'm looking in this box I am early today actually I'm at more of my preferred time only because yes I will post a link to him let me it's a pappy

[00:14:18] it really does show how vulnerable we are it it really makes it goes to show so when this hit yesterday I have been telling my partner we've been having plans about going and my brain stopped for a second and pulling up this link

[00:14:39] real quick about if things start to go a certain way I've been watching the fact that China has been having a lot of issues with their financial system I'm not saying the US and China go hand-in-hand but I told them if

[00:14:51] things started to look any sort of a rye then I would be start pulling out money out of the account keeping just enough for bills and daily expensive expenses but extra things like for rent or specific bigger valued bills would stay out until

[00:15:11] like the day or two before in which then I would deposit and pay it only because I can't have afford to have how much ever amount of money or rent in the account something happen we need that money and we can't access it which is

[00:15:28] terrifying absolutely terrifying to think that this could be something we are dealing with right I am going to live show tada I did just stick it in the live show for the link but it was scary enough that I was like okay if Indiana and

[00:15:59] Illinois are having issues with their gas stations and their banking systems let me go ahead and see what's going on here in South Carolina I ran got gas filled up the truck that filled up the car you should have a full vehicle of

[00:16:14] gas at any point in time I was called my mother and my mother-in-law and let them know what was going on hey just as a little precaution please pull out a little bit of currency on you please make sure your cars are topped off I just

[00:16:28] want to make sure if something should happen you are at least prepared to a level they understood they did it yes maybe I was being a little overly cautious but better safe than sorry I ran I pulled out not all of it but a

[00:16:43] good chunk of money so if something happened we have currency on us I am we're gonna keep it that way I made sure gas is filled up the only other thing I

[00:16:55] need to do is top off a few food items at which I'm due to go grocery shopping again anyways but again I'm at that that crunch of knowing what is worth spending which we need the food in the house but at the same time if I'm

[00:17:11] gonna be cut like three days off my check which is three days that will get us by a lot easier it's it's gonna be a huge huge strain on us so that's why I'm hoping

[00:17:23] the snap thing comes in so if you're interested in anything let me know I will gladly make those and ship them out to you because any bit helps and not trying to push it in that sort of way but in my household we're making it by

[00:17:39] yes did I ordered this stuff not knowing and I could return yes I did I didn't know that this was gonna happen I didn't know that my income was gonna be affected because of the blue screen of death but so is life we do things I'm gonna be

[00:17:59] honest with you it was such a good deal on the security cameras and the walkies that I don't have the heart to send those back because if I sent them back just for what I spent on them to turn around and have to buy them again

[00:18:14] I'm gonna spend twice as much so I'm just going to swallow that cost it is an investment in my family's communications and security and I'm just gonna keep it you really is happy take a look I did put the link in

[00:18:30] there as well as anybody else let's see Pappy and Garden girl I both see I see you both here in the chat I know I know I saw someone else in here I want to know

[00:18:48] did the blue screen of death affect y'all in any way and cats cat skill Frank is in here too what about you yeah so I'm I'm looking forward to try not these walkies but I am curious who all else was affected by this I know plenty

[00:19:12] of people in the group and open chat were talking about it in the sense that they were fortunate enough it didn't affect them unfortunately I cannot say that we were not scammed that is a part of work in remote especially for a

[00:19:28] job and a company out of state luckily my computer has not tried to update which I'm trying to figure out way to make sure it doesn't because sometimes the system wants to do its own thing

[00:19:46] I'm trying to let's see here we go Pappy and garden girl respond oh did we lose audio am I gone am I can you still hear me can you hear me okay so okay so Pappy

[00:20:23] just lost audio so she Garden girl says it didn't affect us luckily my hubby was still able to do his interview on teams and she can hear me perfect so that's fortunate because I can tell you right now the way it has certain

[00:20:40] companies it is really definitely made it difficult for everybody else I know for a fact it had mentioned actually shortly after I listened to a news cast in which they were speaking about the fact that it did affect life 360 so if

[00:20:59] you have that that was awful and off a bit which we do use life 360 in our household for the fact that I do travel on the road quite a bit and then this way if anything happens especially when I have our baby if I should break down

[00:21:18] somewhere we have that is it the most secure thing to have absolutely not but at the moment it works for our family until we can find a good alternative oh wow okay so she says that I guess the company here was interviewing with only

[00:21:45] got their systems up 20 minutes before their call I'm actually still waiting to hear back from my facility how hard we were affected because I know for a fact the managers and supervisors who normally get emails directly from the

[00:22:01] facility were not getting them that day okay let me do this I am gonna go to a quick commercial break let me give me one moment and I will be right back on the break of blackouts again as power demand reached an all-time record high

[00:22:28] overnight slivers of the golden state plunged into darkness he's scheduled outage on Thursday but the one that happened Sunday it wasn't scheduled it was unexpected and it lasted longer than a day point zero energy has given me the American tested American assembled reliable solar backup that I've been

[00:24:04] enough remaining carbon credits to enjoy today's show it is the resistance all right we are back so I did want to mention last weekend we were speaking about the tampons pads and etc it is what it is with the

[00:24:29] arsenic lead and heavy metals speaking of which Garden Girl had reached out to me to let me know that several of those items we had talked about like the diva cups and the menstrual discs where on prime day I did not get any that

[00:24:45] weekend only because Garden Girl heads up I will be coming to you with questions I do have questions I am going to purchase some of these products I will mention how they go because I will also be doing a product review for

[00:25:01] the ladies on the go girls and she we's I bought actually each a while back and I am gonna see if there's a preference if there's pros and cons because why not why not ladies we hear all these products that are supposed to make

[00:25:21] things easier for us and make things more comfortable I want to see how true that may actually be because being a woman is hard enough as it is all right let's see here hey mad dog good morning great to have you cats kill Frank great

[00:25:40] to see you back down on the chat with us so questions did anything affect you too by any chance did you see any issues in your region or your area because I know certain regions were hit a lot harder than others oh great that's so

[00:26:03] great so like I said last weekend we did talk about women and as far as the natural process that we all go through and the dangers of some of this stuff that is out there we saw where she stated that we talked about little

[00:26:20] kits putting kits together for our kids our daughters and she did get some of the menstrual undies for her daughter's bag which is great I'm actually looking at doing the same for mine come on folks health planning prepping because guess

[00:26:35] what the grid goes down it's not gonna be as easy to run to the store and buy what you need because guess what guess what credit card readers aren't working now yes they are at the moment but you have to think about a situation what

[00:26:51] you do when stop stuff stops just because the world stops doesn't mean that we do neither does natural biological effects or this basic human needs peppy I see you lurking he's normally chatty with us so definitely look into the link for

[00:27:19] the walkies those are something that I'm excited about I've got to do some research yes you do have to believe you do have to have a license for I know you

[00:27:29] have to have one for him which I am working on and then let me see you do also have to have one for GMRS yes I am general mobile radio services yes so apparently you do have to have a license for that as well it is apparently

[00:27:52] to obtain a GMRS license and call sign you must file an application with the FCC and pay $835 fee no exam is required in license is valid for 10 years yeah I have something we're gonna be doing oh you're right I don't know if he can still

[00:28:12] hear us or not well don't tell him we're talking trash alright so who would have thunk it that simple just to get a license for GMRS I am actually gonna look at it FCC $35 fee I would love to do this right now but I

[00:28:40] am gonna do some reading I'm gonna see what I can do to make some stuff post it and see how that goes but it looks like a decent investment if it's something we're actually gonna use which we plan on pretty interesting let's see yeah this

[00:29:14] is a whole process I'm definitely going to have to read into it looks like it several works I don't know if y'all can hear that in the background my neighbor's car sounds so bad so bad every time it turns on someone tried to

[00:29:37] change the oil and it spilt all the oil out and they kept driving it so you all know and it's a little SUV making that sound oh can he hear us I see him typing

[00:29:53] happy no no JK okay alright let's see here so gardens you know what I'm I've said what I was gonna say on the blue screen because at this point it's more or less just irritation I will say this I did check with our pharmacy our local

[00:30:19] pharmacy was not effective as of right now affected as of right now not to say there wasn't others that weren't just because of the whole card reader thing I'm waiting to hear back from them I've reached out to a few other people

[00:30:33] waiting to hear back just to see in different regions oh welcome back Pappy we missed you so the only other thing I'm looking at is the garden here they did not do well this year I had plenty of cucumber I finally have some

[00:30:51] jalapenos now producing all of my other pepper plants just they grew about four inches and then just died so garden girl you know how we talked about the black cow we are looking at actually absolutely digging out the entire raised

[00:31:07] bed and turning it and refilling it and then going ahead and planting our winter crops or fall crops because right now is a good time to plant cucumber again right now is a good time to replant tomatoes and other plants because they are going to take off

[00:31:30] because it just because we're in the south that doesn't mean it stops I did find out that there is a gentleman just outside of limington North Carolina who is growing bananas which has me thrilled because I have been talking about

[00:31:45] bananas for quite a while at home talking about how I know we can grow our own bananas because I can tell you this the one thing I talk about is if the world went to crap I'm gonna miss my bananas and find out we can grow

[00:32:00] bananas in this client without any issues so it's like okay I'm growing bananas maybe not at this house but I'm gonna get a plan see what we can do my garden was crap I need to pull and restarted yes it is mine mine not

[00:32:15] yours but mine has been horrible absolutely horrible with how things have been going and it's like you know what that's okay the squash didn't make it and the squash that did produce weren't anything I could use so I'm gonna be

[00:32:32] honest with you anything my garden's made that has not been usable for me or enough for me or my family I've actually been feeding to the chickens so the chickens are getting plenty but we have gotten enough right in the

[00:32:44] last few days their area is a bit of a mud pit so now after I get off here I do have to go see about adjusting that which I'm gonna be honest with y'all today I

[00:32:54] am probably gonna cut it a bit short I love y'all I would love to sit here for an hour but there are some other errands I do have to take care of and see I keep saying it's driving me nuts so that being said I probably am gonna

[00:33:09] just go ahead and round it up here it is only a 30 minute podcast today but stay ready stay prepared let me know how things are going for you hit me up my email I did mean to say it last week would love from to hear from husbands
