This site is more ads than content. At least on my mobile around 3/4 of the screen is covered by ads. With the smallest possible close buttons.

Is Azure somehow impacted by this? Or any other of the big providers like AWS or Google Cloud?

Maybe there’s something that Finland and Finnish ISPs could learn from the big providers? And from Ukraine how they moved everything critical into cloud?

The big cloud operators and service providers with their own backbones have redundancies on their network on multiple levels. Not just IP level but also on light path level. Giving them enough bandwidth that even with failure they don’t get congestion.

Finnish ISPs could build more connectivity even inland or higher up in the Gulf of Bothnia. But many of them haven’t as they have optimized for latency and not for redundancy.

Even Finnish government networks were shown during the COVID to be under provisioned, the. pan gateways didn’t handle remote work. And then one roadwork cut a cable next to the road it was shown that the redundant cables were in the same ditch. Service owner has just bought “redundant” connections and never confirmed it.

> This one you've definitely just made up.

It was called "Project Hug". Based on the different sources it contained credits for all the google offerings such as Ads, Youtube and Google Cloud in exchange for keeping apps on the Google Play platform.

Different repots on this: https://www.gamesindustry.biz/google-reportedly-paid-activis... https://gizmodo.com/google-denies-its-project-hug-bribed-20-... https://www.theverge.com/23959932/epic-v-google-trial-antitr...

It’s so weird to observe how Alphabet doesn’t seem to even try to keep its parts separated.

Amazon at least tries keeps its companies separated from each other. AWS account teams doesn’t know what Amazon teams do and vice versa.

While Google Cloud account team constantly gets involved with Workspaces, Ads and Google Play related stuff.

If I remember right just few years ago Google was told to stop giving cheaper prices on Google Cloud based on customers Ads and Google Play revenue.

Yeah, would be better if this just links the video and not a website that has now original content but just describes the video.

Yes, as one way to control cameras on top of masts. Replacing periscopes. Not really a comparable to actually steering the boat. Here’s a video from a submarine tour where you can see the Xbox controller in action: https://youtu.be/0StWrXoN8nI?si=Hf5eoGOU-jxDNa2x
