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

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 if it was "literally struck by a ballistic missile" they'd not be talking about bringing it back up in a few hours...
@HeNeArXn @0xabad1dea of course they would!

@Dss @HeNeArXn @0xabad1dea

Ballistic Missile just means it finishes its burn relatively early (contrast to Cruise Missile eg).

There are many sizes and payloads, they aren't all nuclear.

@eestileib @HeNeArXn @0xabad1dea if it was a nuke, it wouldn't be back up any time soon. But it also wouldn't be from Iran. Israel or the US have nukes though. Neither are part of the worldwide nuclear monitoring program, unlike, er, Iran...

@Dss @HeNeArXn @0xabad1dea

If it had been a nuke we would all either know, or be dead.
