@AUberdesk_help Thank you for the reversal.
I really appreciate the customer service.

[VAughn STewart @vStewed]

@Uber thanks for the $25 cancellation fee - after your drives planned to pick me up 28 minutes later than the time I reserved.
I cancelled as I had a flight to catch.
Is 28 minutes late considered acceptable customer service?

Just wrapped my 1st blog post in over 5 years.
Felt good to knock the rust off.
Should be posted next week.

G’Morning @united.
Your app is great, but needs some help this AM.

In today's news: VAST Data and @googlecloud have partnered to address the challenge of hybrid AI data sprawl with the first fully managed service of the VAST AI Operating System on Google Cloud. Enterprises want to run AI where it performs best but fragmented storage and costly migrations often stand in the way.

This expanded partnership makes data placement a choice rather than a constraint. The VAST AI OS leverages the VAST DataSpace to allow enterprises to seamlessly connect on-prem clusters with Google Cloud, eliminating complex migrations and instantly making data available wherever AI runs.

The result: a fully managed AI OS on Google Cloud that unifies hybrid data with intelligent streaming, removes migration drag, and keeps GPUs fed – so organizations can deploy AI faster at lower cost with consistent, compliant data close to compute resources: https://t.co/7cSZlJITKu

This just in: He’ll froze over ;)

A new Frontier AI Factory in Memphis, co-built with @togethercompute, launches in early 2026! Designed to power demanding AI workloads — featuring @nvidia GB200 NVL72 systems, @DellTech’s liquid-cooled Integrated Rack Scalable Systems, and @VAST_Data's AI storage platform.

[VAughn STewart @vStewed]

How do you define disruptive technology?

How about a $1.17B agreement between @VASTDataAI & @CoreWeave to extend our partnership and advance our efforts to build a new class of intelligent data architecture for #AI.

Donald Trump doesn’t want you to see this picture.

He’s literally destroying the White House.

[VAughn STewart @vStewed]

Is it just me, or is it simply impossible to connect an @apple MacBook to @united WiFi??

IOS devices work w/o an issue - with the same network settings.

[VAughn STewart @vStewed]

The @packers don’t look so formidable after last week’s loss to the @Browns and this week’s tie with the @dallascowboys.

[VAughn STewart @vStewed]

@keithnorbie @sakacc @Lions You, me, Chad… let’s make it happen!

[VAughn STewart @vStewed]

Wow! That was an impressive goal line stand @Lions!!

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

This aged well.
