PSN Is Still Down After 14 Hours And No One Knows Why

Nope, people in IT know that the cloud is just someone else's computer lol
-
Nope, people in IT know the cloud is actually countless servers on racks in a giant data center rotfl.
-
"Did you remember to plug the server back in after vacuuming the server room?"
"Shit." "Honey, gotta make a quick jump at the office! "
-
Yep, just like serverless computing that doesn't use servers, or how games benefit heavily from the blockchain and companies are always hiring blockchain devs.

What is it, dragons?

It worked the other way for me, seeing it locked me out because I am not agreeing to that

Why would you want them to be breached? The only people that are going to be negatively affected by that are the users who was involved in the breach.
Yes and no. Sony would face repercussions for lax security, and while it would indeed affect the consumers, Sony would be at the epicenter. Forgive me for not giving a shit to what happens to Sony, and if they did in fact get breached I'll be there with some popcorn enjoying some Shadenfreude.

Isn't it linear story based though? I prefer open ended, been playing a lot of bannerlord recently

DOSE, dept of Sony efficiency

I was born early 90s and always had a bike, so kids not use them anymore, or is it a regional thing?
-
As bad as the customers I deal with are I am so glad we only work with real companies. The smallest are a few hundred staff. At least 99% of the time they can be professional. The exception so far have been pretty funny though, shame I don't go on calls with them anymore tbh.

Outages are a thing of the past since I switched to 4G. If you asked me in 2010 if 4G of all things would be better than a wired connection I would never have believed it.
It's fast enough and never had an outage. Once in the past year I rotated the antenna to point at a different mast because it was being a little slow. I assume cell towers are a higher priority of infrastructure as they serve more people, and as there are multiple I can connect to there is also redundancy.
-
This was back in 2006 or so. I don't recall if 4G was around then, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't available as an internet provider. If it was, I wasn't aware.
I'm pretty happy with my current internet solution, but I'll keep your suggestion in mind. Thank you!
-
My first reason for going 4G was general distaste that all the wired providers leave me with. Awful pricing models where they charge less for 4 months then more for 20 and then loads indefinitely kinda thing and I just decided fuck that. I think there is a bit more competition for the 4G side of things too.

What I'm saying is that you have to look at the bigger picture. Not only Sony would be affected by that, back in 2011 when they were breached consumers were charged in the estimated tens of millions of dollars range. A figure that Sony only ended up having to repay about 15 million in settlement fees for after a solid year and a half.
Additionally, Sony still managed to go up in profit that year, despite the PR nightmare out of it. Going up from 1.2 billion after operating costs in 2010 to 1.4 billion after operational costs in 2011 and still made 1.1 billion in 2012 ( after the 172 million in damages was done)
I understand hating big business and their practices as much as the next guy, but I have a hard time getting a sense of satisfaction knowing that at the end of the day the company itself isn't going to be impacted by the hack and it's only going to fuck over the consumers.

Ouch. I'm only sorta old, instead full on old lol.
-
Tbf all platforms have this. Steams not much better. Neither is the Xbox ecosystem. We truly are in the worst timeline.
-
You're again mixing the point, your friends IP doesn't have authentication, progress, chat, etc, etc, etc. You're talking about a different kind of server.
-
The difference is if steam goes down I might not be able to play a few games. If xbox (what is their service?) goes down you can't play any games.
