Yeah, it’s not just FB, IG and WhatsApp, you can’t even use your Oculus lol. Every single thing connected to Facebook is down.

This may end up being the single greatest story of the 21st century.

I’m so glad I decided to wait for full immersion VR. I was gonna buy the omni treadmill and everything. :rofl:

I went back and reactivated my account briefly yesterday evening. Today I had difficulty viewing the comments in posts, because they wouldn’t load. They’ve had a similar issue with photos before.

I have to wonder what is causing these issues with quality.

This isn’t technical issues. Facebook and IG are completely gone. There is no trace of them on the internet. Even the addresses Facebook.com and Instagram.com say they’re for sale.

I’m holding out for direct neural interface. It’s coming. Five, ten years.

They’re already using primitive versions for weird new age “light therapies”. Won’t be long at all before they can control the visions you see.

I saw a thing on 60 Minutes a few years ago where they literally put a plug in a paraplegic’s head and he could jack in and control a computer.

Oh. OH.

Now I understand.

Jeezum.

That’s a physical connection that involves a surgical implant. What I’m talking about looks like a normal light bulb but it sends specific pulsed frequencies into your skull that essentially cause hallucinations.

They’ve probably been hacked.

I want that William Gibson Neuromancer console cowboy ■■■■■ I’ll wait until they have an electrode-net that’s just as good but I’m all about it. Wanted that since I read that book in 1992.

I’m ashamed to admit, but I never gave VR any real thought until I watched that stupid anime. lol

Facebook is self aware… it’s never gone :rofl:

I truly don’t believe VR will ever become a mass adopted technology. It makes too many people throw up. Also, I saw my first VR headset in a mall arcade in like 1994 and they’ve been promising me they’ll work out the kinks with VR real soon now for 27 years and counting.

They invented the videophone in like 1960. Took until about 2015 to really take off and even then most people don’t even use the camera.

DNS issue… their IP should still resolve but the domains are gone. It’s weird

Best guess is that Facebook did it to themselves but because they make it a point to run everything in the company through Facebook they’re incapable of sending the fix.

Like they have to be on FB to fix the code so they can be on FB. Hilarious.

Holy crap. I don’t know much about this kind of thing, but this is an attack, yeah?
