Do you seriously not have a clue?

You see this as a bad thing? This is a hell of an achievement and it's really impressive. And so you know, a lot of the CVEs were code fixes not just to windows but to open source projects which Linux depends heavily on, such as web browser engines. So, if you want to go down this path, I think you should also say "shouldn't the entire non-Microsoft infrastructure be embarrassed that Microsoft has to clean up their mess?"

Consider this, if all of this is being found and fixed by Microsoft, where are all the fixes for other platforms? Are we not advertising them? Are we keeping the vulnerabilities secret? Do you honestly think that Safari is on par with a web browser engine developed by multiple top companies? What about Firefox? How vulnerable is that and we don't even know it?

No, this is not a fart reference as space does have a smell.

However: the thought of fart smell made me write this comment.

No need, all the USA gov't needs to say is "We can do this the easy way or the hard way, either way we will get what we want."

Donald, is that you?

Trump and cronies appear to indulge in insider trading on these prediction markets.

Meanwhile IRS is banned from auditing Trump’s past tax returns -- what does Trump have to hide ?

So, it used to be that the EU would sue for a valley company for a few billion every year or two to pay for the operations of the government.

The UK is out of that loop and realizing it needs a fund raiser.

But honestly, I think if were Microsoft, I would just consider shutting down UK operations.

Doesn't this suggest that the free market economy has lost to communism when the government of the leader of the world's free market economy admits that it can no longer compete in the free market economy without socialist protectionism?

More people are born
More people need work
More people are creative about what to do
More people see other people needing better tools
More people make better tools
More people become more efficient
Less people are needed for the existing jobs
More people struggle to find more creative ideas
Market demand in every major sector can be met without more workers

And here's the real kicker. The best place to find jobs right now is in making better tools... which reduces jobs.

Just what I came here to say. Please vote the parent up.

A fine paid by the business will not change behaviour of managers -- who just profited (got bigger bonuses) from this. The decision makers need life changing fines or prison time. Managers in other companies will see this, decide that they do not want the same and so behave.

be that they just start growing when the moisture reaches them ?

Unless you are stupid or trying to curry favour with the Orange Idiot ?

I am the specific target audience for these drives.

And ... they are a TERRIBLE idea.

Assume PCIex4 v5.0 for the interface. That's a theoretical 15.75GB/sec. To read this drive sequentially would take 4.25 hours.

This is so slow it's absolutely useless for AI. Assume for a moment I loaded 8 of these into a 1u chassis. 800Gb XDR InfiniBand would be too slow, a double link would work. But you would be better off building half-U trays with four drives and an 800Gb link.

That said, let's say you had half a rack of that. That would be 48x245TB or about 12PB. And remember this is performance storage, not reliable storage. Everything here should be treated as entirely volatile... it's just cheap/slow RAM, it's not bad.

I think overall, I would architect a similar system on 64TB sleds because with the exception of rack space and power (and the drives use no power next to GPUs), 64TB drives destroy 245TB drives in every way.

Once we hit PCIe v9.0 or so and 4Tb Ethernet or InfiniBand, then 245TB will start making sense.

If Micron wanted a serious product, they would have dropped U.2 in favor of Ethernet or InfiniBand.
