Good maybe Jeff will call Donald and get out of this shit show
Wouldn’t it be funny if Amazon declared war and attacked back? Corporate armies would be terrifying and seem inevitable.
> while damage to data centers in the Middle East is concerning for the region, the global tech industry has bigger concerns. The regional war has disrupted the flow of oil and its derivatives, especially those that go through the Strait of Hormuz. These include aluminum, helium, and LNG — all of which are crucial in the semiconductor supply chain. And even if the war ends today, the damage to infrastructure could mean it takes months or even years for supplies to return to pre-war levels.
Tech companies thought they were getting a POTUS who was “friendly” to them, only to realize that the elderly pedophile really has nothing to lose at this point in his life.
“Begun the Cloud Wars have…”
He much did Amazon and its executives donate to the current admin?
Awwwwwwwwww, poor Amazon.
I hope Bezos feels he’s getting his bribes worth out of all this.
Timing of this article is weird, Bahrain was down to 1 availability zone for weeks, then was completely wiped out on Wednesday morning
Send in the Weyland-Yutani crew!
Bezos should be happy to give millions of dollars to the orange clown only to see Iran blew data centers in the air. What goes around comes around I guess.
wtf they have people working in a war zone trying to get capacity back online to support migration? Imagine some middle eastern guy trying to spin up a 1TB server for some prick in Seattle making 1000x the salary while his coworkers body is lying next to a server rack.
Bezos needs to fuck off and pay some taxes to the American people.
In two months: Amazon Prime to increase 33%
Thank goodness Amazon has saved so much money on taxes! They should be able to handle this fine.
What happens if data that is legally required to be retained is permanently lost in the off chance that all backup centers for that specific data are also destroyed?
Vote for stupid presidents, get stupid wars. MAGA.
Honestly? Good. We Americans are powerless to stop this war. Iran knows how important the big corporations are to our leaders, maybe this will finally smack some sense into the deranged orange lunatic.
Jeff I must admit. Money well spent on the orange clown 😂😂😂
all my years in IT, I never had “in case of missile attack” in any of my DR plans
soo …… this is not good for ram prices.
but its actually pretty ingenious to target american companies over american military targets.
i wonder how long it would take for Jazzy to call Besos and for besos to call up the admin.
Does this count as a sev 1
The war will not be streamed.
Seems like they understand that oligarchs control our government.
In fact, the tech giants are the real enemy here. Enemy of humanity.
They are the reason for the direction the U.S. is taking.
They chose the political agenda and the methods.
They want to have complete control over all other countries.
That’s why there are new rules regarding routers, ID verification, and so on.
So much winning, all this winning
> both affected regions have experienced physical impacts to infrastructure as a result of drone strikes. In the UAE, two of our facilities were directly struck, while in Bahrain, a drone strike in close proximity to one of our facilities caused physical impacts to our infrastructure. These strikes have caused structural damage, disrupted power delivery to our infrastructure, and in some cases required fire suppression activities that resulted in additional water damage.

I thought Iran’s military capability was “obliterated”? Is this Iran 2.0? Electric Bugaloo?
No worries, TACO gave *yet another* 48 hour warning…or else!
🎶🎶🎶Release the Trump-Epstein files🎶🎶🎶
while i pity the engineers (to a degree; they’re making a fortune), the tech giants deserve it for their corporate greed.
Oracle yesterday, Amazon today, any Palantir centers out there that they can deal with next?
I am so confused. Two weeks’ ago Trump said Iran had hardly any missiles left. Are they finding them down the back of the sofa
As an obvious disclaimer, the Iranian government absolutely sucks shit and should all be thrown in The Hague, alongside Trump and Netanyah. But them bombing data centers is the closest real life thing to that scene in Jurassic Park where the T-Rex inadvertently saves the kids by killing the velociraptors and Im kinda here for it
Oh no! How is Jeff Bezos going to feed his family now?
Dear Iran,
We’re not promising anything but the war will be greatly shortened if Meta, Amazon, Tesla, Palantir, PayPal, Apple,Open AI and Oracle were to somehow disappear
A swift kick in the billionaires is a smart strategy to end this quickly.
For a 100% decimated country they sure do have a lot of drones and missiles.
