- Scoundreller 2y agoPOS down? Payment processor down? Lotta different grocery stores and processors in USA. WHO?
- chgs 2y agoI’m Amazed at that. I had no idea the US had caught up and had electronic payments.
- dclowd9901 2y agoI’m guessing for chip reading? It’s one-time transaction key so I don’t think it works async.
- anal_reactor 2y agoAll five payment terminals in Germany are down. "Unfortunately, all online governmental services are affected. All two of them" says the chancellor.
- weberer 2y agoWhat are you talking about? Credit cards have been around since the 1950's
- Kye 2y agoFor much of their history they were written down or copied on carbon paper and manually processed by phone later. Electronic processing came in the 70s and wasn't universally used until much later. I saw plenty of credit card imprinters in use well into the 90s when I was growing up. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Credit_card_imprinter https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Credit_card_imprinter Card issuers only stopped embossing them recently.
- t0mas88 2y agoIt's morning here in Europe, departure peak time. We're still flying, but... The problems mean the takeoff and weight & balance data is missing. It needs to be done manual by each crew. Baggage handling is also manual, so that means counting bags and the cabin crew counting people. Then manually calculating performance data before you can take off. Big delays everywhere.

- Klonoar 2y agoIs it KLM, or just the KLM flights operated by Delta (of which there are a decent chunk)?
- maeil 2y agoSounds like it's a majority of KLM flights, so seemingly it's themselves.
- t0mas88 2y agoKLM was flying, but all flights pass through Schiphol Airport (it's their hub) and Schiphol couldn't board fights for a while. Because of that they ran out of gates for arriving flights, so everyone had to cancel flights to avoid compounding delays. As the biggest user of Schiphol that means KLM had to cancel a lot of flights.
- qw 2y agoIt's not all of Europe. The airports in Norway are operating as normal. One of the airlines reported booking issues on their website, but I haven't read about any other issues. Some international flights have been delayed or canceled of course, depending on the route.
