This was back when lights were not standard on the streets or storefronts. We have street lights now. This isnt the 1940s.

yes it does, and anyone who has had to work with cloud services knows this.

But its also an exploit/security hole if a key has been compromised, see git-repos as of this week.

So nothingburger all you want, if someone has keys and can use them, they will.

Cloud services are not secure... do not believe them to be secure, treat them as the screen door in front of your house. Anyone can open it, and they will use that to knock on your inner door to get into your systems.

The fact that companies want to trade insecurity for a known cost (which isnt, as they always go up in cost), over a KNOWN 3-5 year single purchase, is amazing to me.

Accountants can assume a hardware cost based on policies of the company, this isnt the excuse hill they should die on and investors need to be smarter on this front.
Especially when the cloud services cost 3x that of in house in a single year vs the 3-5 year hardware refresh standard they may set.

The US taxpayers paid for this 5x over over the past 20 years.

"whataboutism" as a non-solution statement.

"its not just me, its everybody else", is complete horse shit.

You have been sold a lie.

A publicly traded company whose main income is from the USA taxypayer. HINT: that is why they turned a profit last year, even though they were losing money every year before that.

Yet again US taxpayers are propping up an oligarch instead of a public entity like NASA, where money was and still is, efficiently spent.
Oligarchs started the "500 dollar hammer boondoggle" and the "pencil that could write in space" narratives to transfer public taxes to private Oligarchs. This is literally Russia.

The slop will continue until firings improve.

We look forward to your donation to Linux to allow for this.

I think you are safe to continue to use that.

he thinks in percentages differently....

Laughs in "Ill just google it"

This was on purpose, to force 2FA, which puts a tracker on your phone for them to gain more data on you
I shit you not.

For all we know, they are bringing them over, holding their passport or holding their visa over their head, and charging them for room/board/ 100k price requirement Trump put in place, etc...

That wage goes down fast when corporations have control over everything in your life.
