June 2023: a Google data center in France floods and they call it a “water intrusion event”

I am sick and very out of it, as you might be able to tell by how I initially characterized a screenshot with a timestamp in March written right on it as February
@0xabad1dea Sending good vibes your way. I hope you feel better soon.

March 2026: an Amazon data center in the Middle East is literally struck by a fucking ballistic missile in a hot war and they call it “impacted by objects”
@0xabad1dea This is a characteristic trait of authoritarian systems, which corporations inherently are. In Russian propagandists media they used to call explosion a "clap." No kidding, "a gas clap in residential building" has become a meme

@HeNeArXn presumably the missile was not aimed directly at the data center but at something nearby. If your neighbor is exploded off the face of the earth by a missile and your power generator is taken out by the kinetic impact, you have been struck by a missile, you’re just luckily alive enough to complain about it
The power generator was not taken out by any sort of impact, here, though. It was taken out by the fire department.

@0xabad1dea Sooo.. you had a calendar synchronization anomaly due to internal firmware instability? xD

@0xabad1dea so I guess if one burns down it'd be "influenced by a temperature event"
@capnthommo I'm pretty sure that would be a finitely time-limited exothermic reaction event.

@0xabad1dea Fun, but do we actually know that the missile hit the data centre? A missile might have hit a neighbouring building, and the explosion then caused some large bits of concrete or whatever to hit the data centre.

@DaveFlater @0xabad1dea insurance generally excludes acts of war from coverage.
Fallout from a ballistic missile seems quite an act of war and I doubt "hey there was no war declaration" is enough to get a payment from them. -
@0xabad1dea And I thought my government was acting cringe by calling gas leak explosion "a pop".
@th3rdsergeevich @0xabad1dea "leaking some droplets and plasticine-like threads" (speaking about a fucking fully loaded tanker sunk, leaking heavy oil into the Atlantic)

@0xabad1dea the universal term to cover all eventualities is “jargon-involved event”

@DaveFlater @0xabad1dea Being naive is not among the many many problems of insurance companies.

Fallout from a ballistic missile seems quite an act of war and I doubt "hey there was no war declaration" is enough to get a payment from them.@mbpaz @DaveFlater @0xabad1dea I'd be genuinely curious to know how that will work. Ballistic missiles are definitely nation-state coded in ways that truck bombs are not; but my understanding is that insurance contracts usually distinguish between 'war' other violent damage by legal status rather than delivery method.
I also think I've been told that the "Malayan Emergency" was so classified in order to try to avoid war-related insurance conditions, so it has been tried before.

@0xabad1dea@infosec.exchange I see a zone-name like "mec1" and I assumed it was in mecca. Looks like it was in UAE, though?
