Remember when Russia was supposed to take Kyiv in three days? Now, a drone strike on a data center is reportedly leaving Russians struggling to order taxis, use banking apps, or even control their smart homes.
Ukrainian drones reportedly struck a major Yandex data center, triggering a fire and disrupting more than 80 services. From taxi rides and food delivery to music streaming and online gaming, the outage showed just how much everyday life depends on a handful of digital systems.
But Yandex may have found an even more innovative solution than restoring its services: updating its user agreement to include a force majeure clause that covers military operations involving drones and missiles.
Your app stops working? Your smart home suddenly develops a mind of its own? Please consult the terms and conditions. Apparently, war is not covered by customer service.
So much for Russia's high-tech future. Kyiv in three days? Maybe. But the taxi app may need a few more. Join Benjamin Lee in a new episode of Break The Fake to find out more.
