They’ve followed advice to turn it off, right now they are trying to figure out how to turn it on again

It appears to be mostly up and running again.

I wonder will this stop my watch from sticking at "Saving"?

Is it mechanical with 18k gold and diamonds?

I have an Elemnt Bolt (Wahoo) for my cycling so doesn't impact me from that side, but I do have a Tacx NEO2 trainer so best not try and update firmware on that just in case

It synced my morning exercise yesterday, nothing since. Oh well, too bad. Will just have to wait until they've fixed it.

I won't put my garmin in to charge after my 10 mile run there.

Ransomware only works because of cryptotulips - hopefully it will be a wake up call to ban them en mass - ironically it would make Pooper millions due to plummeting “value”, if his “broker” pays out

Yeah, my run from yesterday still hasn't uploaded to Strava. I could do it manually, but...
