This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
If this was the work of a hacker then I never want to know their name.
YO HO! Thieves and Beggars! Hoist the colors high!

Same.
LoL, same. I didn't even know a problem existed til I opened up Lemmy this morning. 😂
Thats what happens when a single company controls the flow
I sure do love working at an MSP during times like this. Today fuckin sucked. Clients called in non-stop about things being broke AND our ticketing and remote support software was up and down all day
People are too uneducated to just see what works and what doesn’t and add 1 and 1 together. If Google or WhatsApp work and Amazon doesn’t then it‘s definitely an Amazon problem.
At this point, I'm not surprised by people not having critical thinking skills. I encounter folks who do not think at all about anything on the daily.
Managed Service Provider, for those curious.
As in "Fuck Managed Service Providers."
What do you have against MSPs?
Why do these companies still sign with AWS? Didn't they learn from the last two major outages in us-east? To say nothing of the deceptive business practices to obfuscate service utilization to overcharge businesses?
For these large businesses, I imagine they get favorable deals, and all the executives probably know each other and scratch each-other's backs. For smaller businesses, AWS can decrease time-to-market, it's easy to find people who are already familiar with it, and is seen as less risky than going with some smaller provider. Though, I hate the "cloud" with a passion, and whenever I'm given the choice, I avoid it. It's quite a bit cheaper in the long run to avoid cloud providers too. On one long project I worked on, we hadn't had downtime on any of our VPSs longer than a couple minutes over the course of 8 years.
My guess, the CFO showed that using AWS saves the company a few cents to a fraction of a cent per what ever unit they measure by. Those few cents to a fraction of a cent add up when multiplied by the millions or hundreds of millions of units and that savings makes the CEO look like they are more profitable and can give shareholders more profit.
When everything is about the quarterly results and the need to always show growth so the board and shareholders don't fire you, you'll cut corners and take the risk, as long as it has the potential to make you look good.
Bro casually and respectfully explaining enshittification over here.
Airlines were one of the first to enshittify this way in the modern age. I think a lot of the current executives took this story to heart IMO.
I'm dead tired and can't think of a way to say this without sounding arrogant, seriously my brain is fried right now, so I'll just say I take that as a compliment and thank you.
Funny, my digitized collection of movies and TV shows seems to be working just fine. :3
How strange my pirate streaming site seems to be fine also
PirateBay reliable as ever....
its us-east-1 as usual, I guess its that time of the year. and the companies haven't changed either... so, basically the IT guys told the budget approvers we need more money they calculated it and said, no. see you next year for another one.
Funny. My Jellyfin instance is working fine. 😏
Basket, dropped
Eggs, broken
but how? isn't all that stuff all up in the cloud? The cloud is great, right?
