Which part of the widely held and propagated opinions that such big corporations are owned and run by sociopaths/psychopaths do these NGOs not understand?

You can't know that based on only cost of revenue percentage.
We also have revenue. They're a public company. You can look all this stuff up yourself.
Why didn't you post that number then. I have to assume because it contradicts the point you wanted to make.

Satya has to go. It feels he is there to keep costs low, not to do things correctly. One of the first moves was to get rid of QA
In the current business environment, keeping costs low is the correct way to do things, and quality is completely irrelevant.
I honestly can’t tell if you’re serious.

#154This is wrong on so many levels. First of all, IT admins receive weekly e-mails from AWS, Google and MS that a certain service will shut down and that it will affect operations. In 90% of the cases, these e-mails are sent to all customers instead of only the affected customers, so admins get alarm fatigue. Secondly, instead of doing a rug pull, what's wrong with a 2-month brownout period? Only allow the admin to logi…
The worst thing you can be in America is wrong. Our entire public society is built around, not admitting guilt or wrongdoing in any way shape or form.

#155Amazing! How in the world is Microsoft able to get away with something like this?!
Even a smaller software company will have better systems to ensure that the customers don't lose all of their data.

Me (W10).
It runs the software I use.

#157Who is still using Windows
Approximiately 60-70% of desktop / laptop users worldwide use Windows according to wikipedia.

The big problem with shifting users from Windows is training. Corporations aren't going to pay to train their employees in something new if they don't absolutely have to. With that said, now that Windows workstation prices going crazy because of RAM/storage/GPU inflation, I hope that we see a shift to more memory efficient operating systems (anything based on UNIX like Linux and MacOS) but need 2x-8x memory (along with fast storage) to have a similar experience running Windows 11.

In the sense that I haven't seen any evidence there were backups, yeah they didn't have backups and prod in the same location. Or are you nitpicking about the word "prod"? Pretend they said "primary copy" instead.
In the sense that what the op wrote was wrong. You know, factually incorrect, bull, a yarn. Speaking as someone who used to let Iron Mountain come in to take backup tapes *off premises*
I always advise people who have backup tapes to have a local copy AND the one Iron Mountain takes to their fortress.

I've given Iron Mountain backup tapes too. That's not what happened here.
OSS was in charge of storage, and they appear to have had the only cop[ies] in an Iron Mountain facility. This setup was fundamentally broken.
Please be specific about what you think KetoManx64 got wrong.
If there were no backups then their initial statement was right. If there were "backups" in the same location then their revised statement was basically right, just don't nitpick the word "prod". If there's evidence of any copies existing anywhere else, like you would have in a normal contract directly with Iron Mountain, please link that evidence. It doesn't sound like the PBS station had a primary copy that was backed up by OSS, they gave the primary copy to OSS.
