@DustinB3403 said in Amazon services are experiencing a major interruption of service:

Decentralized would be multiple co-lo's housing your equipment I'd think.

Mutiple locations, one way or another. NTG is fully decrentralized... users are not centralized and support systems are not centralized. We use multiple datacenters from multiple vendors. This has downsides too, of course.

Two Factor authentication is even better. 🙂

Or both!

FTW.

Yeah, if it took the laundry and folded it, now you've got a marketable product. Stand there and feed items into it in a proper orientation? Might as well have just folded it yourself and saved time, electricity, money, and a little sanity. Maybe the true intent of this device is to get lazy people to quit crabbing about folding laundry. Once they see this thing, they can't help but admit just doing it makes more sense and takes less effort.

You're all late to the party!

With @Carnival-Boy with this we use a Henry but would like a coreless dyson 😄

(Need to stop looking at this site as it reminds of jobs I need to do - this one reminds me I need to look at "serving" the henry and giving it a good clean out)

@DustinB3403 said in Going to Rio for the Olympics - Pay for stuff with the ring on your finger:

@scottalanmiller At the moment this is only the people actually competing that are going to have this.

Not the general public.

Oh I know, and they can have their fingers chopped off if they want. It's just a really goofy way to showcase a payment technology in my opinion. Things I don't want to wear: rings. People I don't want to be associated with: amateur athletes. Ways I don't want to make payments: things that get my body parts chopped off.

Basically while this COULD be used to help the driver, this is just to collect data in a way that is not as powerful as the old OnStar system that GM has.

Here's an interesting site listing the Worlds Biggest Data breaches..

MySpace is coming in hard at 164 Million!

So our service appears to be restored.

Also WebEx is now directing calls to "Due to high call volume we can't answer you call, please try again later." and than they hang up.

So there is that...

After signing up, you can go to My Membership to cancel the auto-renewal so you don't forget and get charged.

@BBigford said in TeslaCrypt shuts down and Releases Master Decryption Key:

I heard a lot people say that they gave it up to relieve some legal pressure. But you can't commit crimes then just apologize and wash your hands. You can't save face by admitting guilt in this case. You'd get in trouble by admitting you were at fault and release the keys.

I agree that this is just to make the old code completely useless. Want to keep using software? You're gonna be buying all new software. Bold move!

It often does receive legal pressure because the total loss to a company is not so large. Because civil suits require there to be a damages number, making the damages smaller greatly reduces the value of a lawsuit which in turn reduces the likelihood of someone pursuing one.
