Comment on Microsoft admits it 'cannot guarantee' data sovereignty

No fucking shit. Computers, the way they’ve been developed and deployed, basically look like they are intentionally insecure. The fact MBAs keep trying to force this fundamentally flawed concept of computing upon the world is driving intelligent people to look else where.

What? Computing in general is not flawed.
Cloud computing from a data security standpoint has some huge and I would say, unacceptable, flaws though.

Always on, wireless connections are kind of a MASSIVE security issue.

That has not really anything to do with “computing”, which can be done regardless of what network is used or even without a network.
This also does not really affect weather or not cloud computing is flawed or not, since you can access the cloud without wireless connections.
This all being said, wireless networking is a big security problem, we have just collectively decided that the convenience is worth it.

It was just one example dude. The entire system we’ve built is so full of holes it’s basically impossible to safeguard data that ends up on a computer.
Hell, someone literally hacked and blew up an Iranian nuclear centrifuge which didn’t even have a connection.
