Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person or their instance. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on. Keep on-topic
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

They just upgraded from floppy drives. My money is on them letting a virus into the system, or that the new system had major security problems.

"The FAA wants E-IDS installed at 435 facilities by the end of 2028. Five sites have already replaced their floppy disk-based systems: Atlantic City International Airport, Nashville International Airport, Greater Rochester International Airport, and data processing hubs in Atlanta and Salt Lake City"
Edit: it looks like they also just started expanding and AI traffic management system nationwide.

Some piece of data for Delta didn’t go through Atlanta and the whole thing panicked.
No. It's even worse than that: A box truck containing Pepsi products was caught delivering to a vendor in ATL!
Shut. Down. EVERYTHING.
You joke, but I believe the first cutover was today. Please correct me if my memory failed me.
But no real knowledge of when what will be done, they also announced a rollout of an AI system. Plus there was a blip with weather radar earlier. It could be anything really, or everything
As long as we’re wildly speculating I’d like to posit: aliens are attacking the earth
I felt sure they'd start their invasion in Poland. I mean everybody else has.
Finally. What the fuck took them so long?
I knew those goa'uld weren't gone for good!
Probably a bit longer now.
I would have stayed with floppies. Less to go wrong.
They wear out and IDK if it’s feasible to get replacements manufactured.
I dunno, it’s probally easier to make/obtain floppies than RAM right now.
It's not. I don't think there has been any new manufacture of floppies in years. RAM is available, just really expensive.
I was just joking. But I bet spinning up new floppy production in the US is easier than new RAM production.
