Services were restored later in the day, but FCC Chairman Ajit Pai in a tweet vowed to probe the wide outage, calling it "unacceptable."

Because there's no possibility at all that T-Mobile will be trying to figure it out themselves.  Good thing the government is on the case, otherwise T-Mobile would just sit back and do nothing.

In an unpopular opinion, I don’t think Ajit Pai deserves half the shade thrown his way, this is one of those times he deserves it.

Why does he deserve it? According to some sources, the US was hit with massive DDOS attacks on all kinds of businesses and networks. Likely perpetrators include all the usual suspects: China, Russia, North Korea and Iran.

So if only 2% of Mac users are dual booting, then it’s possible that Apple isn’t too fussed about running Windows. 

I don't think Apple gives a rats ass about the virtualization crowd... they can either buy a WIntel machine or continue using their current Mac for it. Apple's not going to hold its future roadmap hostage over this single issue.

That's my issue with the modern Apple, around macOS at least. There're so many groups of people they supposedly don't give a rat's ass about that eventually most people that use their Mac for more than a Facebook machine fall into one of those groups. There are a lot of these "single issues" that Apple shouldn't give a crap about according to forum-goers here, but all those single issues add up. I seem to be getting hit by a lot of them right now. They can stomp over their iOS user base and no one cares because iOS devices don't need much compatibility or openness, and the size of the iOS market means it's worth devs keeping up. The same can't be said for macOS. Power users on Macs don't like being shat on by the company they've supported for several decades just because it's convenient for Apple to do so. The machines are getting more and more expensive but with less and less software and hardware features. And as much as I hate to say it, Windows is nowhere near as terrible as it used to be.

That 2% can be a comfort to people who jump ship but who aren't sure about macOS still. Also, what about virtualisation for Windows? I bet a lot more than 2% of people use virtualisation than dual-booting.
