A. Disable the Gemini suggestions if you don’t want it (I did so).
B. If one’s using a free mail service for 16 years, and then came to not liking its recent development, in which world shitting on it in public is the right and necessary thing to do?
C. In which world someone switching mail provider is a top front page news item?
D. If the case in B is not free, then this means the OP was heavier user than my teenage daughter. Thus consumed more of it.
The study, which was used by EY consultants in Canada to market their cyber security business, used made-up data, misattributed citations and referenced a McKinsey report that doesn't exist.
One day a kid came home breathing heavily, to his father’s surprise face he tells, daddy daddy, I saved a dollar fifty!
How did you do it? ask the father
Instead of taking the bus, I ran after it all the way home.
If you were smarter, you could have save us $22 by running after a taxi!
This old joke came to mind while reading this post.
A tech company spends hundreds of thousands of dollars per year, “for years”, on a piece of software that could have been replaced by a month of coding top? (prior to LLM and all), you sit and write and save the money.
If I was an investor in this company I would have hire a team to look through their entire stack. See, if this JSON thingy alone is half a million a year, their entire cloud is at least $35MM annually.
Perhaps this is not even a bad business idea. One can offer companies to provide drop-in replacement for their costly “micro services that no one dares to touch” and share the cost savings.
May or may not.
You open the UDP ports, you get flooded, they block all incoming traffic, and this way or another your assets are not resolvable.
One must distinguish between application layer attacks HTTP/S and UDP, cloud vendors won’t protect you implicitly for network layer attacks unless you purchased such service from them.
Large scale dns vendors have a multi million dollars worth of network layer traffic filtering equipment pipelined in front of their DNS servers (or in house solutions such as Google).
Just remember, if you run your own DNS, and you do so for a mission critical platform, the platform is exposed to a udp DDoS that will be hard to detect let alone prevent.
Unless of course you will invest 5-6 figures worth of US dollars worth of equipment, which by then you can look back and ask yourself, was I better off with Google Cloud DNS, AWS Route 53 and the likes.
