Once a computer (a smart phone is a computer) stops getting security updates, it should not be connected to a network. The reason is that device will get hacked and that is not good. This person should have upgraded his iPhone 8 as soon as

You stated that "It looks like a lot of absolutely basic due diligence from investors was skipped, probably due to the prioritization of DEI initiatives and willingness to support them blindly." Do you have any proof that due dil

A lot has been learned. Unfortunately, people still make mistakes and hardware will continue to have security vulnerabilities.

AWS, Azure, and Google have data centers in Europe. I am sure lots of other companies (like Cloud Flare) have servers in Europe too. Most large providers are global companies which operate in as many countries as possible.

What if their choice was either raise prices or lose money?

Increasing prices is not "pulling the rug out from under you". Hertzer decided to raise their prices. Their customers can either continue using their service, reduce their use of the service, or go somewhere else. Also, we live

I think you are probably misreading the situation. My guess is that their costs went up and they are now increasing their prices so they don't lose money.

I don't think this is a fair comment. This happens sometimes but usually people go with Kubernetes because they really do need its power and scalability. Also, any technology can be misused and abused. It's not the technology&#

I think the takeaway was Kubernetes did not work for their team. Kubernetes was probably not the root problem but it sounds like they simplified their infrastructure greatly by standardizing on a small set of technologies. Kubernetes is no

This is not that surprising. First, it depends on how big the YAML files were and what was in them. If you have 200 services, I could easily see 200 YAML files. Second, there are non-service reasons to have YAML files. You might have cu

Here are some lessons from this: 1) One of the most important aspects of software is support. No support means an insecure device. 2) Devices should state when they will stop receiving security updates. People should stop using devices on

Software needs longer support life cycles in general. I find it frustrating that organizations do not support operating systems, hardware, and applications for at least 10 years. Note Apple is one of the better organizations on this. Con

Every organization makes mistakes and every organization has outages. Netflix is not different. Instead, of bashing them because they are imperfect, you might want to ask what you can learn from this incident. What would you do if your s

Not even close. If you think Amazon is awful, you have no idea how bad things can get. Amazon is probably a difficult place to work because of its high expectations and demanding culture. This (or requiring people to work at the office),

Google recently changed who is running search. Basically, Prabhakar Raghavan was moved from running Search and ads to being Chief Technologist. Nick Fox is the new person running Google Search. This happened on 10/17/2024. For

How is Apple violating people’s privacy? They have done a far better job than other companies from what I'm have seen.

Typically, developers have to tell the operations/sys admin/devops people a lot of things to get their application running in test/pre-production and production. Here are some examples: - Network ports the service listens on

Nope - A large portion of the world works like this. If you work for a place which demands you work all of the time, you either work for an abusive employer, or you get paid a lot of money to be at their beck and call. If the employer is a

Same here. The fact is no one can be on call 24/7. People need downtime. I have never worked with a manager who demanded people be contactable at any time. I have been on call but that makes sense. Note that on a good team, being
