They are legitimate military targets, they are acting as comms relay servers for military strikes/operations against Iran, and are very likely also being used to do threat analysis / kill chain assignment tasks.

This is what you get for becoming part of the military industrial complex, tech bros.

Gotta hand it to them. Iran knows how to hit the people who orchestrated this whole BS where it hurts.

[–] HuudaHarkiten@piefed.social 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I am thinking of them. And the thoughts are warming my cold, cold heart.

If you have a pension you or your employer pay into you are also one of those shareholders via your pension fund.

I honestly can't formulate what I think about US/Israeli's mass scale assault on Iran. I don't support it, but the alleged religious dictatorship is a fucking embarrassment for modern society. And it doesn't seem the regime will end, but who knows. They unfortunately might even come out stronger after active combat is over.

It may well turn into an invasion, but Trump is too much of a coward deep down and lacks attachment to anything real to make tough choices (even if they are bad and disasterous)

He is all about fucking around and acting out. I don't think he has the capability to have a strong belief or commitment about anything (his love for himself notwithstanding).

Israel would only agree to send Americans to do the dirty work and get killed as living shields for targeted Israeli special forces attacks. But I don't see them choosing a path to any measure of risk to try and absolutely maximize the likelihood of the end of pig feet kissing theocratic dectatorship.

On one hand, I am really happy that Khamenei got killed in an air strike in his own compound. Shit stain had it coming, my only regret is that his turd son didn't get turned into mince meat two weeks before Khamenei. But at least he achieved the cosmic balance by reincarnating into a pig turd that keeps coming out of a pigs asshole; he has become part of the circle of life, a very special part. I says this as an atheist.

It's been a while since I was contact with Iranians from Iran, but I am willing to be bet many in Iran also share my views on Khamenei, if not my colourful language.

One could say, well at last the American oligarch got a taste of reality; I don't get that impression and I don't think anyone is seriously saying that. Their perspective is probably more along the lines of extreme weather in far away country adding two to six basis points of negative sentiment to T2.3 adjusted revenue forecast for a period for 6 to 9 months. Microsoft valuation is defacto nominal, $400 B valuation gain one year $1.1 B loss another 6 weeks.

I genuinely can't tell which of the 3 belligerent countries you're referring to

"Customers should enact their disaster recovery procedures"

Damn.

Due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, both affected regions have experienced physical impacts to infrastructure as a result of drone strikes. In the UAE, two of our facilities were directly struck, while in Bahrain, a drone strike in close proximity to one of our facilities caused physical impacts to our infrastructure. These strikes have caused structural damage, disrupted power delivery to our infrastructure, and in some cases required fire suppression activities that resulted in additional water damage.

Translation: servers got turned into charred scrap.

Are these actually meaningful availability zones?

They should hit us-east.

They are, for the Gulf countries from which the US launch most planes to attack Iran.
Iran's plan is to make the Gulf countries throw out the US forces.
