After contentious Amazon datacenter fight, US county says it has learned a lesson

Not surprised

Not surprised that dealing with Amazon was enough to drive a rethink about handing over acres of land to datacenter builders. I can only imagine the hassle and lobbying. And these facilities are only going to get more intensive, larger, more demanding on local resources, more energy, and if Amazon and Microsoft get their way, operated largely by robots anyway not local people

I hate to be anti-progress, but I can't help being anti-run-over-by-corporations.

What is RansomHub? Looks like a Knight ransomware reboot

Why can't they do a Broadcom

Just once it would be nice if these crooks did a Broadcom, took over some malware, and totally f'ked it up and spared us the ransomware infections. It's frustrating that crooks have to be right once and we have to be right every time.
