"CEO Kelly Ortberg said the deal “ is an important component of our strategy to focus on core businesses, supplement the balance sheet and prioritize the investment grade credit rating.”" I see "quality" is still not amongst their priorities. Will they ever learn?

The Reg translates the letter in which Oracle kinda-sorta tells customers it was pwned
"I recommend anyone which uses Oracle cloud to initiate a migration to other more reputable, organized, secured and honest vendors," he said. Whilst I wholeheartedly agree with this advice, I think it will fall on deaf ears; for most people it will be just too difficult and expensive, oh, and Oracle has advised that everything is just fine, which must be true. So, no change here, then.
Trump tariffs thwart TikTok takeover as China digs in heels
Re: Yes no one should trust Trump
"Trump is an unethical and unreliable negotiating partner. You can't trust any promises he makes, because he feels no shame in going back against them the next day if it serves his purposes or makes him feel powerful". Sounds just like Putin. No wonder they get along so well together.

Re: In effect, reducing voting security...
I think you'll find it's more than that. Trump (and his moronic mates) will be working on a way to prevent there ever being another election in the US so they can remain in power forever. That's why they're so happy to talk to Putin; they're getting ideas and recommendations.

No peace for Gandi this past weekend, after storage SNAFU breaks email and more
These days, I don't believe a single word Musk says. I am also disappointed he is associated with SpaceX, because I think SpaceX is great. It's funny how association can muddy one's perception. Musk didn't even start Tesla (he conned and bullied his way to ownership) but I can't help but hope everything he is associated with fails, and Tesla seems to be heading that way.

France tops China’s tokamak record with 22-minute plasma containment run
I read an article a while ago (no idea where so I can't link to it) where it said (assuming you pay someone to do the cleaning) the cost of cleaning solar panels will never be recouped by the extra electricity generated as a result of the cleaner panels. The conclusion was, never clean solar panels as it's not economically viable.

CrowdStrike still doesn't know how much its Falcon flame-out will cost
The company I work for never had any Crowdstrike software prior to the debacle, but since then, we've all suddenly got the "Crowdstrike Falcon Sensor" icon in our system tray. That's thousands of licences we are now paying Crowdstrike for. I was relieved we weren't using it at the time, but it looks like we may have fun times ahead of us....
