“.. The AI boom is hiring the people who build data centers, but not those who run them: construction payrolls are up 9% since 2023 while data processing and hosting jobs are down 6%.”

NEW: Mississippi’s top election official said a controversial voter roll program is working as designed despite problems that forced thousands to cast affidavit ballots.

But a local election commissioner is pushing back, saying his office gave inaccurate voter data. https://demdock.com/4zAVfkV

Reddit user phonics party replies to the OP: Information revealing political opinions is special category data under Art9 GDPR, and therefore is protected over and above 'ordinary' personal data. Its processing is explicitly prohibited (Art 9(1)) unless one of the specified exemptions to that prohibition is met. The possible exemptions are set out in Art 9(2). The Conservative Party has legitimate reasons for processing your data - this is an exemption covered by GDPR Art 9(2)(d). As your local MP he may have access to it for purposes connected to party management, mailing lists, and so on. Fine - as say, that's covered by Art 9(2) (d). But that same Art 9(2)(d) that allows them to do these things also says that the exemption only only goes so far. In fact, this data must not be "disclosed outside that [party] without the consent of the data subjects". Doing so would fall outside the exemption, and thus would involve unlawful processing of special category data. Pretty much everything he's done here - from accessing the information for these purposes to posting it publicly - is a straightforward data protection breach. And because it involves special category data, the potential penalties are higher than usual.

A report detailing issues retrieving data from a damaged hard drive, affected by accidental drop and technical failures during recovery efforts. Quoting directly: Hard Drive 19. The emails that were withheld in full were stored on an external hard drive for processing purposes. 20. The hard drive in question was dropped accidentally and is no longer operational. As a result, the data on the hard drive is no longer accessible. When the hard drive is plugged in, it makes a whirring, scraping sound and the computer does not recognize that the device has been plugged in. Files on the hard drive were last accessed on November 29, 2024. 21. USPIS made multiple attempts to recover the data from the hard drive. Two employees from USPS IT were contacted to see if data could be retrieved from the hard drive, but they were unsuccessful. The USPIS Assistant Lab Director overseeing the Digital Evidence Unit was also contacted to see if the data could be retrieved, but they informed us that data retrieval was outside the scope of their abilities. Geek Squad and an external data recovery company were contacted, and the final outcome was that the drive had media damage (including critical areas), so they were not able to read data off the drive. 22. The Department of Justice (“DOJ”) also attempted to retrieve the data from the hard-drive. The Office of Litigation Support in-house data forensics lab was unable to retrieve any data, so they sent the hard drive to a separate company who they contract with. This company...

Nope. There was never any rationale behind the mega data centers. Computing has always been to put more processing power in a smaller footprint. Super computers used to require data centers, the XMP has less processing power than early iPhones. Power/cooling limit deployment not floorspace.
