Microsoft outage has been put down to several data centres being down at the same time – the impact huge, people unable to work, students in schools and universities disrupted, and across 34 countries, for at least 11 hours. Personally I love the internet, hence this blog, but it seems apparant that we should not totally rely on it. A friend also asked my opinion on Nvidia shares, he stated that as they have dropped, would now be a good time to purchase them, firstly I am not sure you can buy them in this country, and secondly, combined with the above and the public in many developed countries becoming resistant to data centres, my advice is that it may take a few years before they recover the $600bn in their share price. There are many aspects of concern regarding AI, data centres and the ‘tec bubble’.
The age of fossil fuel is over states the IEA Chief, and the age of electricity is upon us, and sales of EV’s have risen 60% in the last 9 months outside China. The government needs to explain why the public needs tough love to adapt to fossil free generation and heat – so it will cost more in the short term, but benefit all in the future. Latest Chinese EV is the seagull which costs about £10000 and does 450 miles per charge. Maybe I should get one?
Does ‘populist’ mean going with the trend politically? Farage has appeared recently on a Russell Brand show in the USA and appears to be buddying up recentlely with Andrew Tate. I guess he wants it all, the support of misogynistic wankers and those who are horrified them. Nigel, you silly little prick, most people have more morality than you.
