Thanks for the concern everyone. We are still in recovery mode over here and working with YouTube to get everything restored. Will hopefully have a video (or at least an update on WAN Show) to share with you all ASAP, but we want to make sure we get the details right since smaller channels may rely on our experience to help harden their own security.

Summary
 
Last night, one of OVH Cloud datacenter in Strasbourg had a major fire. At the time of writing (story is breaking), the situation is as follows:
SBG1 is partially burnt: network room OK, 4 rooms destroyed, 8 are OK (update by CEO 11:40 local time) SBG2 is gone 😞 SBG3 is okay (update by CEO 11:20 local time) SBG4 is okay Update:
The entire datacenter is currently shutdown out of precaution. A lot of French websites (including government ones) relying on this datacenter are unreachable since Wednesday. Rust servers lost some players stats that went in smoke.
OVH says it'll take a couple of weeks to restart the datacenter.

Well, obviously,
 
BACKUP YOUR DATA.
 
I personally have a few VPS located in this datacenter (not SBG2 but SBG1, so I don't know how to feel about this yet).
Also, we sure will get a lot of Backblaze sponsor spot in the following days and week...

Linus was right again.

In France we already have "No driving license required" cars for a while now. They only require you to have the Brevet de sécurité routière (BSR) obtainable with around 8 hours of practice. This allows you to use vehicles that won't go above 45km/h which happens to be the top speed of the Ami.

Hi !
 
I can't see any mention of the Vaio SX12 anywhere on the forum. It seems to be an interesting ultrabook for port enthusiasts on the go. Could be a cool review compared to the LG Gram.

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR BRINGING US TO 3 MILLION SUBSCRIBERS ON YOUTUBE!!
 
Y'all are bae. That's why we've partnered up with Razer to give away one NEW Razer Blade 14, and one NEW Razer Blade Stealth (full specs listed in the announcement video), with a custom graphic designed by our very own Edzel Yago  .
 
RULES OF THE GIVEAWAY:
 
1. One entry per user. Duplicate posts and posts from duplicate accounts will be deleted before a winner is drawn, to leave one post per person.
 
2. Winners will have 72 hours to respond. If a winner does not respond within that time, a new winner will be drawn.
 
3. This is a worldwide giveaway with no age restrictions. Shipping costs will be covered by the shipper, but any duties/taxes/other fees upon delivery will be the sole responsibility of the winner.
 
 
Alright, now that we've got that out of the way, OMG THIS IS AWESOME HOW DO I WIN ONE???:
 
1. Comment below letting us know which Razer laptop you would prefer to win. Feel free to make it fun - what would you use it for? Why do you prefer the Blade or the Blade Stealth?
 
2. This is not a REQUIREMENT for entry, but you should definitely follow Razer on Twitter and subscribe to their YouTube page. In addition to providing the laptops for this awesome giveaway AND sponsoring our trip to PAX, they work with a plethora of other incredible creators in a number of spaces, and release cool content with some of them on a fairly regular basis. Please support them on social media and Tweet at them thanking them for this giveaway!!
 
3. Check back in one week. Entries for this giveaway will close on Monday, September 12, and winners will be chosen soon after. Winners will be messaged by me here on the forum. Do not accept any other form of communication as legitimate, and do not share personal information with anyone who asks for it unless you can confirm that they are a legitimate source.
 
That's it!! If I've missed anything, feel free to let me know.


GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE ENTERING, AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT ON THIS CRAZY JOURNEY
 
 
EDIT:
 
Alright, we have selected our winners!!!
 
@Plavi and @willp3, you have 72 hours to respond to the DMs I am sending you right now. If we do not receive a reply in that time, new winners will be chosen! Since both said that the Blade would be their choice, it's on a "first replied first served" basis. (for clarity - what this means is that the first winner to reply will get their choice between the two laptops, and the second winner to reply will get the laptop that the first winner did not choose. This does not mean that we're only giving away one laptop...)
 
Thanks everyone.
 
 
EDIT2:
 
Alright, so @Plavi has officially claimed the New Blade! Congrats on winning

But, unfortunately for @willp3, he did not respond in time to claim his prize...

Our new Blade Stealth winner is @ted542! Check your inbox, you have 72 hours to reply
 
 
EDIT3:
 
Both laptops have now been claimed. Thanks for participating in this awesome giveaway, and please be sure to keep an eye out for giveaways in the future!
 
 
Please don't report posts in this topic - all duplicates will be handled before drawing, so if you have double posted, don't worry about it.

Do you guys speak French?
If yes I wanna hear it from at least Linus and Luke !
