Re: But will the companies that benefit put back in ?
I guess you have no idea who Nextcloud is, how long they have been around or who was involved in its formation.

AI is not the 'new search' as it does not record everything it discovers at the time it is found. The core data set of an AI system is a highly refined subset of a snapshot of data that was made before the training process was started.
He seems to think that an AI system can, in real time, learn the internet and stay up to date as changes are found. AI systems learn real time information by filling their very limited context window during an interaction with an end client, often by calling out to things like search engines.
"Toyota picks Huawei’s Android-killer HarmonyOS for its Chinese electric sedan".
HarmonyOS on phones is reportedly built on Android 10, while larger target devices may just use linux as the foundation OS. Not really an Android-killer if it's just an out-of-date version of a mainstream OS.
In 1991 I was purchasing 32MB modules for Compaq servers at just £11,000 a module as they were made by Kingston rather than Compaq. At one point I had 7 of them sitting on my desk.
In 1996 I was purchasing 32MB modules for HP Servers at £800 a module.
Today I just install 32GB modules without caring into any desktop that is short on memory and use hosted servers with 256GB+.
With IPv6, it is common to use the Extended Unique Identifier (RFC2373) solution to provide a unique local address for a network device. This is a unique 64-bit value often created by expanding the 48-bit Mac Address to 64 bits.
The result is that every subnet becomes rather large but things like DHCP or manual address assignment can be dropped from the system design, which at scale for grand IoT networks is key.
So, for the old hands here, the IPv6 address starts to look very much like the old Novell IPX address structure, which was, in turn, based on the older Xerox IDP protocol.
IPv6 may still needs NAT for reasons like the one you have provided if devices can not handle a dynamic local name service, they key thing is that it does not need the service provider to roll out things like carrier-grade NAT which may be OK for phones, but is a right pain for other tasks.
So the school has not kept up with what is going on around it in the world. AI, well what we currently call AI is now a standard feature of much of the internet. Google search even answers now with an "AI Overview" as the first entry.
There is no defined 'length' for a tab as the original concept comes from manually set 'tabs' on a typewriter. So while one person's IDE may be set to 3 spaces per tab it does not mean that the same indentation will be shown across all the tools that access/process the file with the tabs included.
If you want to use the tab key, just select an IDE that can convert the tab into spaces for you.
These system designs have to be mapped to a business problem before any choice can be made, the benchmarks just tell a designer they are nice and fast. If the business problem needs all cores to work on the same memory-based data set you are going to start looking at the Nvidia solution first as the memory I/O speed and processor interconnect are designed for just that with performance numbers beyond anything AMD or Intel can offer. On the other hand, if the problem does not need a unified memory model or needs more than 960GB of RAM the Nvidia solution may not fit so well.
Note - AMD gave Nivida an advantage in the benchmarks as the 480GB solution is reported to have a memory bandwidth of 1024GB/s, while the larger 960GB solution is listed at just 768GB/s.
Sun failed because its hardware business model failed.
The cost of Java was a rounding error for a company that needed to sell very costly unix-based SPARC systems. What did not help was that SUN got into the X86-based server market so 'good enough' systems from Sun reduced the sales of their 'top end' systems.
Just like all the other 'advanced' system providers of the 80's and 90's, the 2000 bubble burst and commodity servers did them in. When they did innovate with things like the cloud based utility offering it was easy for others to duplicate the offering once it was clear that there was a market using far cheaper X86/Linux solutions.
If you need to support a MySQL based application you install MariaDB.
If you want a feature-rich SQL server for a new project then PostgreSQL becomes a valid option depending on the skill sets you have access to.
The choice becomes harder if you are designing around the need for high-availability replication - at this point, you hire an expert for either PostgresSQL or MariaDB and forget about MySQL.
You don't have to purchase certs nowadays. Even Eloxon's main website uses certs from Cloudflare as I guess they use Cloudflare as their CDN. They can then use Cloudflare certs on their own systems or choose another vendor.
The fact that the Insight web pages are using a cert from DigiCert likely means that no one in the tech team at Eloxon has upgraded their infrastructure to use Let's Encrypt certs which are also free.
If the AI client has access to 100,000's of non-sequential IP addresses then it can be well hidden as it can act as 100,000's of human speed browsers. If on the other hand, it is accessing a large number of sites quickly from a small number of IP addresses it becomes visible within the logs rather quickly. The only real challenge is to separate the AI traffic patterns from traffic patterns that would be generated by a large multi-user proxy.
>> Can I stop Cloudflare from hoovering up my data for this or any other purpose?
Don't use them as your CDN and they will then not be monitoring requests from end nodes to your servers as the traffic will not be routed over their CDN.
>> Nor is scraping the open web tantamount to theft.
Maybe you should read up on copyright laws before making such a comment.
But Veeam is a solution for backing up far more than just the VMs found on a company's virtualization platform. Anyone currently looking at running to Proxmox from vSphere will also be trying to fit Proxmox into their current environment with backups being a key issue. I can't see anyone wanting to try and run 2 independent backup solutions as they try and run a long-term migration project.
After which you can try ESXi and perform your first business deployment using the entry-level cost vSphere essentials kit................
Oh, so much for that progression.
I think most people are rather busy dealing the major budget issues they have due to all the product and price changes to vSphere.
"However, for archive purposes, the tech may not have much of a lead over plain old tape technology. Last year, IBM announced the TS1170 tape drive with 50 TB cartridges, which are capable of storing up to 150 TB through 3:1 compression."
What an odd comment to make - using the same level of compression such an optical disk would store 600 TB.
MS seems to want to claim that their systems and tools are responsible for these images. I guess the alternative is for them to have to admit that there are a rather lot of open source-based 'AI' tools out there that can be run locally that do what is known as text-to-image processing.
There has been a sub-culture using these tools for some time and sadly they are getting rather good as tools and the people involved have been getting rather good at combining different tools to generate better and better output.
I guess that MS is worried that while their share price may take a hit if their AI is linked to such images, the resulting hit will be a lot larger if it becomes well-known that their AI is not linked to such images.
