Anybody else read the post about Elon musk raw dogging his data center migration ?
Yeah, I've worked in data centers a fair amount in my day and I can't believe they allowed Musk to do any of that to begin with. Every data center experience I've ever had was met with a thousand rules that were meant to keep the customer safe and I cannot believe they were authorized to do this in any fashion.
It's not about whether they owned the equipment or not, it's about the fact that they violated policies and procedures that were put in place to safeguard other clients and the privacy of their data. Total bullshit if you ask me and I'd be suing the data center afterwards if I was one of their primary clients for the breach of trust.
I was the perfect target for the service, the wife and I went as far as downloading the app to get telemetry from our house, we were like 20% covered and decided to hold off just a little while longer. Then musk went jacking it on the corner in San Diego levels crazy, we pay just about as much for our current Internet (and it's mobile hotspot backup plan in case the internet goes out and we have vital work that needs to be done, or I need some low latency gaming time) which is 5 mb/s on its best days, and we're very happy to not be supporting that Russian stooge.
