lol, 1984 was a critique of the Police-State, Mind-Control, no-free-thought, potential future. It wasn't supposed to be a set of instructions.

What about TTPs that are not "activated" until months after compromise? Some of these ransomware attacks sit dormant in the systems, which includes the backups, for months. You can do everything right and still fail. There's literally no protection for a 0-Day attack until the attack becomes known and studied. You can run everything perfect in your organization and still fail because there's no accounting for new but unknown TTPs. This includes restoring from backups going back months and you just continue to re-infect yourself until you can isolate the compromise and sanitize.

>So you are saying they chose to let it go offline? Hanlon's Razor: Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. They shit the bed. Plain and simple. Didn't think 3 days ahead. Just the here and now. "We can put a halt to this! Get the lawyers!" Instead of, "Needed to have done Business Continuity Planning because this shit happens all the time to conservative voices." Read the history of Parler to see what I am talking about. Just gross incompetence and absurd levels of arrogance.

Yes, more than ample time. I ran a software shop with "terabytes" of data, in AWS. Took 3 hours. You have snapshots already setup in AWS. Built into the basics of the service offering. See here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/USER_CopySnapshot.html This was truly epic levels of incompetence on their part.

When they got the notice that they'd be shut down...they had ample time to create a backup from their AWS. They still had access. The fact that they didn't is truly indicative of how incompetent they really were/are. This doesn't take into consideration the soft warnings they got from Amazon for months leading up to the final notice. Smacks of 2 parts retardedness and 1 part laziness.

For how long they were offline, they could have created their own service from scratch. Why the hell did they not have any backups of their content? Were retards running Parler? Conclusion: yes.

He should tell me. I'll keep it from the police. We could hire a lawyer where he signs over his estate to me and I manage it. Edit - I am mostly joking. But, yeah, I definitely would manage this/invest on his behalf until he gets out. Keep 90% of those profits. BTC is doing well. But he may never get access to his BTCs ever again...sad.

I watched the whole damn thing because it was super interesting. Wrote a paper back in college about how to design architecture around memristors to get the great performance for both technical (AI, machine learning) and gaming applications. The ability to quickly access logical address space as part of the same physical hardware as your "CPU" opens up computing ability to absurdities such as no need for RAM. Sony appears to be marching down this architectural path. It's a bridge (pun intended). The stepping stone. The transition to "all if it is one hardware wafer constructed into interconnected lattices." Memristors appear to have never taken off for multiple reasons related to physics (I am guessing). But there will definitely be something along the way to help merge the hardware CPU and Memory into one "piece" and give us that very very delicious instant memory availability - eliminating the data communication gap.
