The RN is so short of destroyers[0] that I can imagine them not being put anywhere near harm's way for a long time in order to have more than zero with the aircraft carriers[1]
[0] Especially ones that haven't broken down.

The Register asked Barr how South Korea, and the world, can move forward. She said she would like to see tech companies focus on prevention, and not rely on government processes, adding:We have to look for global solutions. In a borderless world, we can’t rely on government solutions to solve all the problems.
I'm very curious to know what she expects the tech companies to actually do here?
To be fair, it's not far from Cornwall and we have record for invading England. It's been a few centuries, but next time we'll get past Guildford - I promise...

The company has therefore resolved to do four things:We’re deploying the bug fix across our network as quickly and safely as possible.
We are conducting a complete post mortem of the processes and practices we followed during this incident.
We’ll figure out why we didn’t detect the bug during our software quality assurance and testing processes.
We’ll evaluate ways to improve our remediation time.
Assuming these things actually happen, then I can't think of a much better way to respond to a screw up.
Speaking as an American I'm rather enjoying the peace and quiet. The Federal government has also been restaffed with relatively competent people rather than the relatives and insiders that were given free rein during the Orange Era. So quiet.....so boring.....so wonderful......

My A level college had a climbing wall with a fire exit in the middle of it. Next to it was the fire alarm button which the PhBs didn't want obstructed in case of a fire so there was no cage fitted.. This was fine right up until one of the teachers found the alarm button was in the "right" place for her foot during a tricky move...
The fact that workloads can be much cheaper on-premises or with smaller hosting companies is not new, though, and the continuing remarkable growth of the biggest public cloud providers implies that this prediction is not a safe one.
And once they have your data it's rather expensive to get out back again. One of the biggest vendor lockins of all time!

"The retailer's network guys were ecstatic about how fast their network was, and convinced the suits that the incorrect timeout was an honest mistake, couldn't have been foreseen etc."Even better, they were fine with deploying a patch that included the proper timeout, despite the fact that it was during the pre-Christmas lockdown."
Looks like they deserve some Credit (Card)
