Is the Ecomodder Facebook page down?! Also, my desktop forgot printers again!

As far as I can tell all of Facebook is down, but that is what I hear from silly Internet weirdos. I have been trying to work!

Sure, my new client didn't connect after I sent a reminder half an hour ahead of time, but even if I don't need these materials for this client, this is a periodic problem. If I reboot it should be fine, but then I would need to reload all of my work documents!

The first Google result that I found for "No printers installed" seemed to be for Windows xp and 2000.

The next page says "Right-click on the printer in Devices and Printers and select Troubleshoot."

All that it shows me is Properties, but I clicked on Settings > Devices and Printers Folder, clicked on Microsoft Print to PDF > Troubleshoot and it worked!

Sweet!

I created a shortcut to my desktop to save time the next time.

Now! How do I fix my laptop forgetting my network adapters?!

So, having spent 90 minutes putting together materials for a client that never connected now I can focus on...

Facebook?

The Deep Internet has been predicting a general shutdown of social media for some time. Wotsup and Instagram are included from what I hear.

https://blog.cloudflare.com/october-...cebook-outage/

This tells you what happened but not why.

edit: You'll learn about nameservers, but there's an update:

Quote:
This chart shows the availability of the DNS name 'facebook.com' on Cloudflare's DNS resolver 1.1.1.1. It stopped being available at around 15:50 UTC and returned at 21:20 UTC.
[chart]
Undoubtedly Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram services will take further time to come online but as of 21:28 UTC Facebook appears to be reconnected to the global Internet and DNS working again.
I still wouldn't use it.

2nd edit: Yup, here it comes: https://odysee.com/@TheQuartering:1/...eblower!-she:7

Frances Haugen is the whistleblower.

It was down for exactly 5.5 hours? Right after I received a notification of an article about it my phone gave me a Facebook update. It was a while before I could use it, but I had a coroplast greenhouse to build!

You would love my sister!

She's crazy, too!

The city library is allowing walk-in traffic again, so their laser printer and photocopier is again available to me.

No masks! --> one mask --> two masks --> a boot stomping forever. Congress is being handed the Big Ban Hammer.
