       My daughter just had a routine medical appointment canceled due to an Internet outage at the provider's office.Silly me, i assumed that even in the days of electronic cloud medical records that those were cloud *synced* and the office maintained local copies of their patients' data that they could access offline then push to cloud when the connection came back.But no, they're down so hard they couldn't even cancel her appointment without the office manager calling us from her personal cell phone

       @azonenberg hahaha such a thing might cause the medical office to have some remote possibility of changing providers and we wouldn't want that now would we

       @Lunaphied i mean it'd still be locked up in a vendor proprietary format accessed by a client that needs to phone home to the cloud every week or something.Still enshittified but somewhat more functional
