NEVER Ever use a cloud vendors sw, Lock in is lock in. Once you are locked in you have no negotiation ability.
Systems are cheaper than ever. You can afford your local critical infrastructure.
you can even aford a remote hot site. AWS... get the hw cheaper but do not pass on the savings.
You can keep test ,,, and research in the cloud.
The cloud can only increase your security attack surface and offers many more attack vectors to security.
Maintain local backups that are offline to mitigate ransomware attacks. Backup the backups to the cloud.
Cloudstrike should host servers from Microsoft, AWS and othet cloud providers in their internal testing. E.g. disk drive vendors have array controllers from Netapp, Dell, HP, .. to test drive updates before they are unleashed upon those costomer's costomer's systems.
Also, auto- update is antithetical to reliability and security. Hanging back a day and listening for screams from early adopters is a good idea.
They can still change their minds and there is no legal recourse. We need a surveillance service that is "zero knowledge" ... your videos are encrypted end to end without even RING being able to view them. Then , even if they turn over the files, the files are worthless.
We must defeat the survalence state.
I note that as of this writing, they don't seem to certify NORTON or DuckDuckGo VPNs.
It may also certify that it does not interfere with googles tracking.
This may be like the NSA certifying an encryption scheme. (Yes we can break in, but it us too hard for amatures.)
Google "do evil!"?
Also there are those who propose to dismantle some hydroelectric dams to help salmon.
The amazon data centers should have to use power.at the highest rates. ... let them generate their own power. Folks in Oregon and Idaho don't need computational carpetbaggers to use up our hydroelectric natural respuces.
Yes.... you can try to edit an article, but there are SUPER EDITORS that review these edits
These editors are drawn from an elite WOKE cabal. They will undo your edit if it does not fit their WOKE narrative.
There is no effective way to appeal. I found this out by trying to correct a factual error on a WIKIpedia page. A wikipediitor overruled the edit.
In most cases the cause of this type of outage is caused managerial incompetance. They chose short term savings at the expense of customer service. Failure to invest in system upgrade including power and air conditioning backup. What kind of moron puts the backup in the same city/power-grid as the primary?
These folks will often blame the legacy systems that they inherited. But mainframes (for instace) are 1000 times faster than they were in the 70s.
Children will say rewrite everything. The track record of conversions is terrible. The SW works but the specs are lost.
You were cheap/incompetant time to find another job.
Most posts are single topic, it should be obvious that down vote indicates that people who down vote you don't agree with your assessment. Forums are not like an literature class where we all try to read between the lines and try to imagine what the author did not say. We do not need to provide you with a free public education. At the (low)risk of committing an inductive fallacy, I will ignore everything else you say..
When AI can be deposed on the witness stand. When AI can address the areas of Cryptomnesia (could it have seen an aspect of thie invention in its training data). Does the AI even know what it invented. Did it review the claims and can it swear that it invented them.
AI is like a wrench or hammer. I has no idea what it is doing. In criminal law who can attest that the AI actually did this. It is like deposing a dog. Why did you bite the baby doggy? The people who wrote the AI can only attest to training data and test data. They don't know the thought process, other than statistics.
Thus you cannot question the thought process by which it invented or created something. Training data is third party. Who can say what training data is not disclosed. If the AI lies what sanctions can be brought to bear. Someone used the tool (AI) to come up with the invention or work of art is it not them that recognized the invention. For patents who draws up the claims. Who swears that they authored the claims.
One piece of data lacking is latency. If this technology were to be udse for a database or similar application, what would be the implication of locking in a remote CXL node.High remote memory latency could cause a number of problems, How many parallel threads can I run before I am in lock hell. Processors typically have a fixed number of queue slots for outgoing writes. What is are the implication of this when the targets are in high latency CXL. What is the situation of error detection and correction on these CXL paths. Is there support for chip kill and other technologies that have proven important fo large memory systems.
I suspect the success of CXL will be workload dependent.
One problem is that the components of the backup computer have been exposed to roughly the same radiation levels as the primary computer. Damage can occur when the system is powered off (as people who depend upon Flash drives for long term backup will likely find out.
Except for helium filled drives, magnetic drives have vent holes to equalize the atmospheric pressure. If the drive comes up, replace it soon. Any prior reliability stats are void. Smoke can harm lubricants used in spindle and arm, Also interact with lubricants used on the disk surface. We won't even talk about heads.

Used to be this would have been good in the US.
"I shipped PGP to France" - It was ileagal to ship encryption SW overseas and against the Law in France to import" The US Judge cannot grant immunity for an offshore crime.
