- Crosseye_Jack 4y agoWas gonna say that my defualt mindset is now "If something is down for longer than a day, they have been breached!".
- COGlory 4y ago>“Western Digital is currently experiencing a service outage impacting the following products: My Cloud, My Cloud Home, My Cloud Home Duo, My Cloud OS5, SanDisk ibi, SanDisk Ixpand Wireless Charger" In what world does a wireless charger need a cloud?
- afavour 4y ago“Ixpand” is the clue: it comes bundled with a photo backup service. Presumably the charger itself is working just fine.
- dpedu 4y agoPerhaps it does something like the iPhone's "Clean Energy Charging" feature? This requires some sort of internet connection to know when to charge. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT213323 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT213323
- patrickthebold 4y agoPresumably the phone knows the time and the charger does not need to connect to the internet.
- jmathai 4y agoI worked at WD for about 2 years (via acquisition). I never really used their cloud services for any personal reason - because I either couldn’t get them to work or didn’t trust them. I wouldn’t use their MyCloud NAS devices as a reliable place to store any important data. Their cloud services routinely go down like this. And they just don’t communicate with their users.
