I went to the Star Trek Convention last week - it was my first time there and I had a blast. Overall a great experience and it’s safe to say I have some new friends that I’m looking forward to seeing again next year. At the same time, I found all of the cash-only photos and signatures with the actors to be pretty...
I haven’t been to a Star Trek event but having the handlers act abrasive would certainly irritate me as well and it doesn’t matter if I was paying for a photo op or getting it free. I imagine it’s probably a local security group they are contracting so the staff are probably more used to being bar bouncers but someone should give them a speech on the proper way to engage during these types of events.

This is one of my favorite Star Trek episodes I can recall watching in the past few years. Loved the crossover and had no idea what was coming as I hadn’t heard anything prior. Had to scroll through Lemmy to find a post about it just to comment that I loved it.
Apparently they only sent 3 notification Emails, which a large number of their customers are reporting they never received. No one at InfluxData thought to do a scream test or even check the traffic levels to the region before deleting the data.
This is insane. The data is gone??? Why would you delete the instances? Think about it, they made a terrible decision to just stop services for no other reason than cost cutting. Customers were not fully aware and they randomly deleted everything. While still a horrible solution, they could have just shutdown the instances and had the data available for a period while they assessed the impact but no, they just went straight to delete. That is the most extreme example of incompetence that I’ve seen in a while.
