Netflix down

[Eug]

I think this is the first time I've experienced such a wide outage.

Netflix kicked out my account on two different browsers, and they say they are having technical difficulties for their logins.

Thousands of reports of outages in the last hour reported to www.canadianoutages.com

Normally they have something like a dozen reports of problems but in the last hour it's been upwards of 3000.

Down in the US too -- go there with a browser and it says to sign in, but the sign in link goes to an error page.

Good thing I have a few unwatched shiny discs on hand.

Ah I see.

Normally I put a Netflix video on in the background when I work at my desk in my home office. I guess it's time to go old school and watch a DVD or something. Luckily I kept the DVD player in my Win 10 install. (I had Windows Media Center in Win 7, which gets deleted for Win 10 upgrades, but you get their poorly rated MS DVD player instead.)

Booted me a couple times earlier today. But just got done watching the Big Short without issue.

I had to leave the house, first find my pants, car keys, wallet, cell phone and where the car was parked.

It was quite the ordeal. Eventually rented a Redbox movie, got my Gary Oldman fix and discovered Gal Gadot.

Could have just rented one on Amazon/Youtube/Google Play/Vudu/Fandango/.....

You really never know that's why it's nice to have a decent blu ray collection.

I haven't checked streaming prices but I doubt they could beat the $1.50 I paid at Redbox.

Depends on what you are renting, brand new movies probably not, but movies that are out on video for 6 months or so, there are a lot of sales. And then you pay for the convenience and if nothing else, for the car and gas.

Car - for example, if you have a mid size sedan, the price of the car falls by 20k for 100k miles, so you are paying 20 cents per mile and maybe another 5 cents if you including the gas and oil/tire and other maintenance. So if you traveled 4 miles then you actually spend $2.50 for the movie, not $1.50 + the inconvenience
