Google Drive users are reporting that recent files stored in the cloud have suddenly disappeared, with the cloud service reverting to a storage snapshot as it was around April-May 2023. The Cloud giveth, and The Cloud taketh away (or just loses)

Maybe someone was confused about when they had to delete personal information?
If you rely on a free service, then you have to live with it. It's not like storing files (where you can share them) is that expensive. It costs a whole raspberry pi. If you call yourself a professional, I'd expect you do not rely on "free as advertised".
As a sidenote; it would not surprise me if a lot of the government in my country relies on it.

But based on a quote in the article, it's not just free users who are affected.
Quote: "I pay extra each month to store folders in the cloud so that it is safe, so it is devastating that all my work appears to have been lost," another Google Drive user posted.
"These people looked deep within my soul and assigned me a number based on the order in which I joined."

That's even worse; but if they were paid for the service, then there's liability? I bet no one will be compensated.
It would cost less than 100 dollars to have a better and safer setup, where them files be accessible everywhere you go. You think there's a market for that? If yes, then I'd collab with some CP members to make that a thing

Microsoft veteran Raymond Chen has recalled a time when Windows developers encountered the trundling terror of the USB Cart of Death following an unfortunate mistake live on stage during a Windows 98 keynote. Also known as "the USB devices I ended up buying"

Sorry... too young to remember that.
I did use win 98 but I didn't really gave a crap about many tech things back then apart from IRC

Starting Dec. 1, Google will start deleting "inactive" accounts — that is, accounts that haven't been used in at least two years. Use it, or lose it: Google Edition

I've had two warning mails on two different occasions that Google would delete my account (meaning, email, calender and all that stuff).
Best remedy? Move away from Google.

It showed up in my VSCode last week, unbidden.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

Church founder Anthony Levandowski believes that AI chatbots will soon be so powerful they will essentially be gods And the AI said, "Let x= 01101100 01101001 01100111 01101000 01110100"

Seriously? As we didn't have enough with people thinking they are gods... Now chatbots are going to be taken as gods too?
we are doomed

Didn't we have an article explaining how any toddler can beat modern AI at even basic tasks?
..but yes; children are Gods and our future, and the ones that will impact the world more than chatting with Eliza or praying ever will. Treat them kind and with respect.

Name me one thing that has more impact on the future than how a child is raised? Outside the Manhattan project ofcourse?

How a single child is raised matters very little. How children as a group are raised molds the future.

The invention of fire. The invention of the Scientific Method. The abolition of slavery. Universal suffrage.
