AOL Outage in Billericay, Essex, England

@BekoUK I bought a Beko VCS5125AR Upright Vacuum Cleaner in Red from AOL 27/2/21 and in the past week it has cut out after using it for 10mins and did not restart for 20mins. Not happy. I would like it swapped for a hoover that works competently for the use it was bought for!

@theretrobyte I think I would still have been with Dungeon/FlexNet back then. Never used any of the likes of AOL, Freeserve, etc.

@anildash I can remember Microsoft trying to launch their own network to compete with the internet or so it seemed, I joined got an account then had to wait about an hour, via dialup, to cancel it, back to AOL it was for me.

@aolmail been three days since we have had access to our emails. Not getting much help from #Aol at the moment. Please help us get back on line. #badcustomerservice

@TheSecretAcct I don't think your comparison with AOL is fair. Through network effects #BTC is establishing itself a a store of value and can be viewed as digital gold. Governments continual money printing will drive more institutional and private investors to it. Time will tell who is right

what's funny about the new trend of news stories trying to make parents panic about what is happening to their children on tik tok is like, didnt these parents live through the manufactured scare craze with aol chat rooms and **** don't they know this is fake lol

@olgakhazan Short answer? That was the height of the war on drugs, leaded gasoline was only banned for a couple years at that point, it was half a decade before Romer vs. Evans and the internet was still a few years from AOL. People had ****** up childhoods w/no support & hid who they were.

@DianeHeartbeat @NintendoAmerica Cancel your AOL subscription, troll!

I told everyone in the AOL chatroom that Bush invading Iraq would be a hot mess. W doing his “Mission Accomplished” was the last time there was even a hint of American superpower. Colin Powell helped sell a lie to much of the world that said Iraq is bad like Afghanistan (1/2)

@cindymclennan @SanJoseSharks I mean it is the most stupid thing I have read aol day and I read a lot of stupid.

I can’t believe we all used to sit around and listen to the fckn aol login noises.

@moonmistblue damn yours is so much cooler than mine. i had to replace my email from an aol one

@AOL Fo your homework, Japan used ivermectin at the beginning of covid, never shut down businesses, never closed down the country, their covid patients not subjected to vaccines, they r thriving. Maybe fauci should talk to them.

@dappergander Lin clearly never spent any time in AOL or IRC chat rooms or had a MySpace if he thinks Twitter was the first to allow handles. Tell me you didn't pay attention to the internet until Facebook, without yadda yadda yadda
