Comment on Federal Cyber Experts Thought Microsoft’s Cloud Was “a Pile of Shit.” They Approved It Anyway.

Same here. I feel like I’m taking fucking crazy pills.

Why? Why are all our financials on OneDrive? Why is our system setup being done with a Entra-federated third party tool? Why does CoPilot have access to my email with possible HIPAA-privileged data in it? Why do we have to shut off our servers on the weekend if it saves so much money and doesn’t cost anything when idle?

I can’t believe these morons gave away personal computing because they just didn’t want to deal with having on-site hardware, and it doesn’t even save any money.

It’s a liability shield. “It’s not our fault. Sue Amazon.”

Capital expense vs operating expense. Same reason you might lease a car instead of buying.

  A car eventually get paid off. These services do not. They bill forever and get more expensive every year. And nobody gets held responsible for anything.

    True, but you also get hardware replacement every year, in the same way that you can get a new car with a new lease.
    
    Most companies would be fine with not having surplus hardware to offload down the road, because it’s depreciated so much, and if they’re offloading it it’s probably because they’ve gone out of business.

Clearly it’s not the real reason one would presume, saving money. Selling data may be.
