Server authentication like its 1999

LFTDT

If there's one lesson to be drawn from today's (1/22/2024) NI outage caused by human error, it should be that NI hardware and software shouldn't have to rely on any server for functionality. Are we living in 1999? I never thought I'd encounter something more troublesome than iLock in a million years.

Caused by humans yes, error, no. It was a scheduled outage. NI website and Native Access were interrupted. What specific hardware were you not able to use due to the scheduled outage?

they have acknowledged that something went wrong (an error, so to speak) during the scheduled outage. It wasn't scheduled to last this long.
