1) I do *nothing* with the cloud.
2) I back up my system - user data, and a complete rpm -qa into a file - using old fashioned external eSATA drive bay. every month. Different geolocation? I grab the drive, which is sitting on my desk, and I'm out.

And it's a lot faster than tape.

The "magnificent seven" are passing around $100B in IOU notes, and if that slows down enough that a call comes for any of them, then the AI bubble goes POP, and the world economy goes THUD.

AI as AOL gets onto the Internet.

1: Black and most (not all) other "ethnic neighborhoods are *all* lower economic class.
2. California... I see, you also hate the bureaucracy in, say, Norway, etc. California does *more* for its citizens.

Are you being paid to post this crap? I'm in the US, and I'd opt-out of the algorithm in a heartbeat, and I'm no child.

Um, er... exactly why are you here on slashdot, "news for nerds"?
