@1tonn В целом, наверное, все же это все немного не нужно как standalone.
Мне кажется, сейчас ставка на то, что крупные банки их в конце концов выкупят ради готовых свистелок. Чтоб молодёжно было.
Хоть оп расходы по идее должны быть изначально ниже, тк все ready-made.
@CitiXen@Garmin On part of "make system more robust" - agreed, but again, these decisions are usually taken by business people. Fallback solutions, backups etc are usually more costly than monoliths, hence usually it is blocked by biz, if goal is to have more profit. Maybe they'll reconsider now
@StairClimbLoon@Garmin As I've mentioned in other tweet - yes, my mistake, I've rushed and looked only at "last day trend" the trend, not the numbers (fail, I know) :) so yeah, ignore that
@keywestcoder @Garmin To be fair, that's usually concern of infra, rather than engineers themselves. But have worked in tech - these decisions come from business people - CTO, CFO, product managers etc, since it's usually about money. Hence I'm not mad at tech people, they're mere executors.
@TkLorch @Garmin Yeah, I've looked at trend, but didn't look for the numbers. Whelp, I'm not Garmin and admit that on that part I'm wrong, at least as for now :D
@Garmin I'm sympathetic to your engineering, cyber security etc teams... But they are not the reason your customers are upset - it's about your social CS, PR and even CEO.
I'm fine with waiting, but you now see many flaws with your app. More so, you see how transparency is valued.
@Garmin Peeps, your stock is falling because of uncertainty, your crisis management is near non-existent
Be transparent, is that hack? Because if later on it will be confirmed to be one, some mad lads from EU will sue you out of all remaining profit you might have after outage..
@andrewm8488 @ladyflippers @MarkvanVliety@Garmin Sure, they also seem to anonymise the data, I'm somewhat sure some of the data is encrypted as well. So it's arguable. Don't get me wrong, I'd be damn happy for them to be legally forced to produce an update. Tho again, it's not that simple
Seems that my hopes are for the best :D
@andrewm8488 @ladyflippers @MarkvanVliety@Garmin It is true, however, as a reminder, it's also not that simple. If data leaked about you is not likely to impact your life anyhow - they don't have an obligation to inform you (but still hold an obligation to report data breach to the authorities).
Let's see, though.
@Ben_Lovegrove @RioRiver7@Garmin Indefinitely in terms of time, not indefinitely in terms of actual storage. Depending on your model, it can store X amount of activities. Once it's reached - bbye to old ones.
But, you can save them manually, if you want to.
@Bartyh_ @Garmin And before anything will be said, Garmin is multi-billion corporation. They have massive customer base and selling somewhat premium goods.
Sure, we all can track our workouts and whatever, that's all great.
But don't you think that two TWEETS within 18h of incident is.. Poor?
@Bartyh_ @Garmin The problem here is the way it's handled. Some people, who happen to have garmin pay (hence don't carry a spare card) - was that communicated to them? Did it affect them? Who knows.
Rumours about breach? Whelp, we don't know.
The problem is not in outage, but comms from Garmin.
@ladyflippers @Garmin Well, I mean, to my best of memory that's first time they're down for such a long time without adequate comms. Though it is still worrying that they handle it like this...
Still, congrats with your purchase! And all the best in setting new PBs 😉
@ladyflippers @Garmin Whelp, if that's former - then that's a poor design, most probably peeps were lazy to get rid of legacy from the old days.
However, latter seems more and more plausible, rumours spread about cyber attack. If that's the case, clock is ticking for Garmin in GDPR sense..
@Garmin Maybe you need freelance devops? Infra? Ffs, PR? Happy to help, I'd quite enjoy contributing in making stuff work even if servers are down (although, it's 2020, distribution was invented to minimise loss during outages?). Atm even basic calendar can't work.. Why? Just because.
@Garmin down for 5h and not a single message on any of twitter accounts nor any statement on the website?
Do y'all need a reminder that you're multi-billion company? You probably need to rethink who's in your team, lads seem to do really bad job both in infra and PR ;)
