This is a great and interesting thread. But I believe nobody discussed here the opposite and postivie effects of this kind of golbal outages. There are funny calculations for example of having less spam mail open-clciks or things like that. So think in such massive otuage of millions of users and auatomated process what means in term to generate less CPU, RAM, I/O and as consecuence less Power/Cooling >> less CO2 and pollution... It's huge! and at the Earth's weather impacts is like charge trillions in advance that we''ll have to paid in a future not only with money... (Economy Degrowth)
