    Test run by a foreign hostile government?

    There is currently a nationwide AT&T cellphone outage across America as reported on Fox News:
    Cellphone outage hits AT Verizon and T-Mobile users also affected | Fox Business

    It wouldn't surprise if it was a test run to see if they can paralyze cell phone communications and I fully expect China Joe's administration to blow it off.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    I missed it. I have Verizon and didn't notice any disruption in service. Local news reported it but reports were it was not a cyber attack despite a major cyber attack going on at the same time. Didn't make much sense to me but it was discussed minimally.

    AT&T said it was a procedural error in implementing a growth in the system.

    Um, yeah. The outage happened just as another Chinese balloon entered U.S. airspace. Coincidence? Perhaps. Remember the cyber attack on Oct. 31st 2023 on Mr. Cooper, America's largest mortgage company? It was by the Chinese also. Unfortunately we have a very weak and corrupt president who will do nothing against his Chinese masters.

    Well, this one went to politics in the expected time. Closed.
