I would never ever trust OVH with any important data or servers, I mean we saw how they secured their datacenters where it took 3h to cut the power while the datacenter was burning.

BonoboIOon Fire destroys S. Korean government's cloud storage system, no backups available

At first you think what an incompetent government would do such things, but even OVH pretty much did the same a few years ago. Destroyed some companies in the progress. A wooden floor in a datacenter with backups in the same building …

BonoboIOon Fire destroys S. Korean government's cloud storage system, no backups available

Easy, some electronic fault and look at OVH with WOODEN FLOOR and bad management decisions. But of course the servers had automatic backups … in the datacenter in the same building. A few companies lost EVERYTHING and had to close, because of this.

BonoboIOon Tesla must pay portion of $329M damages after fatal Autopilot crash, jury says

Tesla hid evidence and was probably punished by the jury and I hardly feel sorry for Tesla. Maybe next time they will not do that, but I doubt it. Transparency was never a thing baked into the Tesla Musk DNA.

BonoboIOon Tesla must pay portion of $329M damages after fatal Autopilot crash, jury says

> The case also included startling charges by lawyers for the family of the deceased, 22-year-old, Naibel Benavides Leon, and for her injured boyfriend, Dillon Angulo. They claimed Tesla either hid or lost key evidence, including data and video recorded seconds before the accident.

> Tesla has previously faced criticism that it is slow to cough up crucial data by relatives of other victims in Tesla crashes, accusations that the car company has denied. In this case, the plaintiffs showed Tesla had the evidence all along, despite its repeated denials, by hiring a forensic data expert who dug it up. Tesla said it made a mistake after being shown the evidence and honestly hadn’t thought it was there.
