Bottom line, there's always a possibility a cloud/service provider could lose you data. That chance is (/should be) exponentially smaller on their environments however than the likelihood of your own local stores.

If you're really serious about preserving your data, consider the 3-2-1 Backup Rule:

3 copies of your data 2 different types of media 1 copy stored off-site

Careful, this is the exact mantra of the right. They just want a little dictatorship to get things back in line and then things will go back to normal.

SPOILER: it won't

Nothing replaces common sense, but I've been using ESET for years now and have been really happy. Just the AV mind you, none of the other security suite bs.

Well c'mon, if they write a legit privacy bill it's going to hurt their Stateside vectors. This way, they can tout "yay security!" while funneling more traffic to Instabookapp where they can still access it.

I read a while back that Bobby Kotick was trying to drum up investors for it.

Only when the tree shoots first

I think it's slightly more nuanced - not all OTAs are recalls, and not all recalls are OTAs (for Tesla). Depending on the issue (for Teslas), the solution may be pushed via an OTA in which case they "issue a recall" with a software update. They're actually going through this right now. For some other issues though, it's a hardware problem that an OTA won't fix so they issue a recall to repair the problem (ex: when the wiring harness for their cameras was fraying the cables).

This is 100% from the NHTSA shenanigans, though.

The literal elephant in the room is Mastodon, the open source, decentralized social network that’s been around since 2016, years before Bluesky existed. While the platforms share similar goals, they use different protocols, making it difficult for the platforms to work together.

Quick, someone link the xkcd

cloud hyperscaler

I know you're technically right, but their "cloud" is the weirdest offering I have ever seen

I wouldn't worry about it too much, the concept cars always look sleek and then the manufacturers poop out something that looks way more standard. See: the Chevy Volt.
