"There was an offsite backup held by a third party (Iron Mountain) through OSS."

If this was indeed an "offsite backup" then 9PBS can just access ( and back up ) their normal local data and do not need to access Iron Mountain's machines.

But it sounds like this was not a backup, but their main data store.
If so, that is unforgiveable incompetence and heads should roll.

I am disgusted by Amazon (of all companies) destroying rare books and have literally (honestly) just cancelled my Prime membership.

I encourage others who value mankind's collective knowledge to do the same.

Save Books. Fuck Amazon.

Sorry, Dario, no trillions for you.

AI is great, and runs just fine on my local graphics card.

For all his talk, Musk has dropped this ball.

YOUR ROBOTS ARE LOCKING OUT YOUR USERS !

Yes, these sorts of things might affect me.

Stuff that Matters to no-one.

Take off your woke blinkers - being opposed to evil dictatorships, or religions, is not racist.

We don't know if AI data centers will be important in the future.

We don't know if AI data centers in space will be important in the future.

But if they are, a moon base will probably be useful to supply them.

Fuck off, Anthropic, with your lame, planted stories trying to get even more fools to invest in your IPO.

Soon, even the blindest investors will realise that local-only models are perfectly adequate for most AI work, and OpenAI et al are doomed.

Meanwhile, X is auto-banning thousands of accountss then telling users a mistake was made, but not re-enabling their accounts.

FIX YOUR SYSTEMS, MUSK.

Lose 50TB you didn't back up independently, shame on customer.

Now sack your IT Manager and hire someone competent.

"Enhance"

There it is.

... and keychain ornaments, naturally.

Wow, you got a spleen ! Cool !

What happened to all the smaller 106-foot planes ?
