Wow! Luckily they also had backups on other services.
Via Hypervisible @hypervisible.bsky.social ยท 8m โUniSuper, an Australian pension fund that manages $135 billion worth of funds and has 647,000 members, had its entire account wiped out at Google Cloud, including all its backups that were stored on the service.โ
Via Programming Insider @programminginsider.bsky.social ยท 4m Netflix's first-ever live telecast of a major American sport set for December 25, 2024 with an NFL Christmas Day doubleheader: Kansas City Chiefs at Pittsburgh Steelers at 1 PM eastern followed by Baltimore Ravens at Houston Texans at 4:30 PM eastern.
Whereas the angle that confuses me is why do they need to charge people a subscription to watch the games? Surely the advertisers would be queueing up and charging people will only reduce the size of the potential audience for them.
I live in a country where the NFL doesn't matter and they are all on ESPN. Just like the NHL. That said, you still need to pay but at least you only pay one company.
If you want to watch Rugby or any other sport that does matter down here (e.g. the Olympics, Golf, Cricket, Tennis Majors, etc.) you need a satellite subscription. If it's on free-to-air it's usually on a 2 hour delay.
Donโt ever call The Beatles overrated. A Hard Dayโs Night was like handing out iPhones to cavemen. Thatโs why people were passing out and shit. The human nervous system in 1964 just wasnโt ready for something this good.
