The Prepper Broadcasting Network - Phoenix Survival- Blue screen of death

Episode Date: July 20, 2024

You're listening to PBN. You're playing back the stability here. I keep on moving forward. Always getting closer. March until it's over. And just like a soldier. I keep on moving forward. Always getting closer. I'm marching until it's over.

I'm just like a soldier. I keep on moving forward. Always getting closer. March until it's over. I'm just like a stranger, I keep on moving forward. Always getting closer, watching till it's over. Good morning PBN, how are you doing? Alright, so it is the day after the blue screen of death.

Yes, that is what we are calling it at 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 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 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 they do not have a time frame of how quickly I could get my laptop back. And if I am not making money which in this household things are tight as it is to now be told there is a an entire chance that I could go several days without pay is going to hurt us financially in a big sort of way because we are already at a point where the baby now needs to be upgraded car seats and holy cow that is something I went and priced them and yeah they are not cheap I'm looking at around $200 for a replacement car seat so after after this live, I am actually going to go to Once Upon a Child, see what I can find from the secondhand shop to see if they've got one that's reasonable and in good condition.

If not, okay, there's our investment because our child safety is number one. But it is a big hit when you've still got to get the month's 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 globally. That being said, um, 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, asking them if they were affected by it in any way. And their answer 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 said yesterday. We saw that it was affecting 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 um Ohio just all all across just the U.S. all across the U.K. American Delta and uh I believe, was it Southwest? American Delta. There was another one. We're down, completely down. Delta did not come back up until much later or, you know, a little bit later in 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 I'm not near as many flights as I was would be expecting let's see who is this this is a private so it looks like air transit, uh, JetBlue was, didn't go down for any reason, it didn't seem

like they were in the air the entire time, Delta seems to be back up and running, let's see, a lot of private ones, Southwest is back up. That's what it was. Southwest and American. Let's see. Now it did affect a lot of international airlines as well. Americans fully back up too, it looks like. All right. But it just goes to show this wasn't something that was going to 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 going to happen. This is what's going to 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 the, air quote, help from others. And what do you do it makes it easier for people to accept the changes and accept the air quote help from others and what do you do when you're going to 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 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 going to attack while people are scrambling to look left, you know, now all of a sudden you're coming from the right or 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 going to be twice as hard people are going to you know you'll have a few people who are still vigilant but other people will be like oh it was just a fluke this was not a cyber attack uh 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 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, even though it says it had shipped, um, 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 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. Could be a big issue.

So it is concerning to think that this is going to affect us on a much grander scheme, yes, grander scheme than people realize, or the fact that it could potentially be a, this is not going to be an overnight fix. If you're part of Element, and what's funny is someone had shared in the group about how to fix the blue screen of death. Do-it-yourself fix. Are you feeling lucky? Are you is amazing with these links.

Had put it in there. And Joe, her respondent, remember that if you have BitLocker, you might as well jump a bridge. So 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 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 there's nothing we can do I

didn't cause this let's see emails going off already okay so this is out so okay this I have a package coming in apparently it's not going to be delayed we'll see fingers crossed speaking of which I don't know how 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 Prime Day. Let me go to my order history and I'm going to 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 m8 mah I know I'm saying that wrong large batteries range walkie-talkies rechargeable handheld portable two-way radios wireless replication DTMF FM radio but this radio is also rated for GMRS as well as ham so that is one of the big sellers here um it is back now up to $60 I got it for $50 on Prime Day actually Rick Austin had sent the link to me, um, 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 hold up. So we were like, all right, we'll give this a chance. We'll see how it works. I'm excited. I am going to actually have to reach out to Porchin with help as far as programming and setting this up because it is completely foreign to me. 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 going to be honest with y'all, love making the drop pouches, which I will be having more made, uh, ready to sell. I will have some going to 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 my hand twice.

So, so far so good. But it's still not fun. Not fun. So, this is going to 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 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.

I'm going to make some bright colorful ones for kids or adults. Doesn't matter. But no, communications is key. This is something we talked about. He was actually happy. My partner was happy I ordered it because he found my Amazon order. communications is key. This is something we talked about. He was actually happy, my partner was happy I ordered it because he found my Amazon order and said, uh, did you order more security cameras? Not upset by it because one, we needed more security cameras and one

of ours had broken and was scratched to all high hell so you can't see out of the lens very well. My chickens have somehow been getting loose which again I suspect one of the neighborhood kids 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 chickens livelihood my family's livelihood could be depended upon that knowing who's causing issues knowing what could be the problem you know could be life or death in a sense sorry I'm looking in this box all right I am early today actually I'm looking in this box. Alright. I am early today. Actually, I'm at more of my preferred time. Only because... Oh.

Yes. I will post a link to them. Let me... Pappy, it really does show how vulnerable we are. It really makes... It goes to show. So So when this hit yesterday, I have been telling my partner, we've been having plans about going and, um, my brain stopped for a second. I'm pulling up this link real quick about if things start to

go a certain way. I've been watching the fact that China's been having a lot of issues with their financial system. I'm not saying the U.S. and China go hand in hand, but I told them if things started to look any sort of awry, then I would be, um, start pulling out money out of the account, keeping just enough for bills and daily expenses, but extra things, um, like for rent or specific bigger valued bills would stay out until like the day or two before in which then I would deposit and pay it only because I can't afford to have how much ever amount of money or rent in the account, something happened. We need that money and we can't access it, which is terrifying.

Absolutely terrifying to think that this could be something we are dealing with. All right, I am going to element live show. Ta-da. I did just stick it in the live show for the link um but it was scary enough that I was like okay if um Indiana and 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 filled up the car you should have a full vehicle of gas at any point in time I always 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 want to make sure if something should happen you are at least prepared to a level they understood they did it um 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 good chunk of money so if something happened we have currency on us I and we're gonna keep it that way um I made sure gas is filled up the only other thing I 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 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 that that 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 I'm not trying to push it in that sort of way, but in my household, we're making it by. Yes, did I order this stuff not knowing and I could return it? Yes, I did. I didn't know that this was going to happen. I didn't know that my income was going to be affected because of the blue screen of death. But so is life. We do things. I'm going to be 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, I'm going to 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 going to keep it. It really is. Pappy, take a look. I did put the link in there as well as anybody else.

Let's see. Pappy and Garden Girl, I see you both here in the chat. I know, I know, hold on. I saw someone else in here. Uh, I want to know, did the blue screen of death affect y'all in any way? And Catskill Frank is in here too. What about you? Yeah, so I'm, I'm looking forward to trying out these walkies but I am curious who all else was affected by this I know plenty 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 scaved. That is a part of working remote, especially for a job and a company out of state.

Luckily, my computer has not tried to update, which I'm trying to figure out a way to make sure it doesn't because sometimes the system wants to do its own thing. Let's see. I'm trying to... let's see. Oh here we go. Pappy and Garden Grower. Oh did we lose audio? Am I gone? Am I... can you still hear me? Can you hear me? Okay, so... Okay, so Pappy 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 companies,

it has really definitely made it difficult for everybody else. I know for a fact it had mentioned, actually shortly after I listened to a newscast in which they were speaking about the fact that it did affect Life360 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 somewhere we have that. Is it the most secure thing to have? Absolutely not but at the, it works for our family until we can find a good alternative. I see you typing. Oh, wow. Okay, so she says, I guess the company he was interviewing with only 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 facility were not getting them that day. Okay, let me do this. I am going to go to a quick commercial break. Let me, let's see. Give me one moment and I will be right back. On the brink of blackouts again, as power demand reached an all-time record high overnight, slivers of the Golden State plunged into darkness. It'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. scheduled, it was unexpected, and it lasted longer than a day.

You're listening to PBN. Your path back to stability. Hello. Welcome to the podcast. Present your vaccine passport. Enter your social credit score. And be sure you have enough remaining carbon credits to enjoy today's show. Be me and family. Your garden 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 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 disc, were on Prime Day. I did not get any that 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 the ladies on the Go Girls and Shewees. I bought actually each a while back and I am going to 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 things easier for

us and make things more comfortable and 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 to see you back down on the chat with us. So, questions. Did anything affect you two 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 great. So, like I said last week weekend we did talk about women and as far as the

natural process that we all go through and the dangers of some of the stuff that is out there we saw where um she stated that we talked about little 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 what? The grid goes down. It's not going to 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 do you do when stuff stops?

Just because the world stops doesn't mean that we do. Neither does natural biological effects or the basic human needs. Peppy, I see you lurking. He's normally chatty with us. So, definitely look into the link for the walkies. Those are something that I'm excited about. I've got to do some research. Yes, you do have to. I believe you do have to have a license for I know you have to have one for ham 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 service yes so apparently you do have to have a license for uh that as well I am General Mobile Radio Service. Yes, so apparently you do have to have a license for that as well. It is apparently to obtain a GMRS license and call sign, you must file an application with the FCC and pay a $35 fee. No exam is required and license is valid for 10 years. Yeah, that's not more gonna be doing. Oh, you're right. I don't know if he can still hear us or not. Well, don't tell him we're talking trash. All right, so, who would have thunk it? That simple just to get a license for GMRS.

I am actually going to look at it. FCC, $35 fee. I would love to do this right now, but I am going to do some reading. I'm going to 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 going to use, which we plan on. Pretty interesting. oh let's see yeah this is a whole process I'm definitely going to have to read into it um it looks like it's several works. Oh, God. 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 change the oil, and it spilt all the oil out, and they kept driving it. So, you all know. Eek. And it's a little SUV making that sound oh can you hear us I see him typing happy

let's see no no JK okay all right let's see here so gardens you know what 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 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 reached out to a few other people 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 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 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. 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 Wilmington, North Carolina who is growing bananas which has me thrilled because I have been talking about 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 going to miss my bananas and find out we can grow bananas in this client without any issues. So it's like, okay, I'm growing bananas. Maybe not at this house, but I'm going to get a plant and see what we can do. Oh, my garden was crap. I need to pull and restart it too. Yes, it is. Uh, mine, mine,

not 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 going to be 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 it to the chickens. So the chickens are getting plenty. But we have gotten enough rain in the 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 going to be honest with y'all today I am probably

going to 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 um and see, I keep saying it's driving me nuts. So that being said, I probably am going to 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 to hear from husbands about last week's topic and what you're doing for prepping for the women in your life, as well as what, you know, how you're seeing the blue screen of death affecting you, whether you be U.S., international, reach out. My email is phoenix-survival at proton.me. Again, that's phoenix-survival at proton.me. Again, that's Phoenix-survival at proton.me.

So folks, thank you for popping in. I hope you have a great morning. Take care, stay ready, and I will, right, left. So put your hands up, put your hands up. If crawling for the scraps won't ever be enough. Put your hands up, put your hands up. The writing's on the wall, this ain't ever gonna stop. Put your hands up, put your hands up. If crawling for the scraps won't ever be enough. Put your hands up, put your hands up.

We'll fight until we die,-reliance and independence. Tune in tomorrow for another great show and visit us at PrepperBroadcasting.com.
