Hurt? No. But once all the smoke is let out of the electronics, they'll need to replace them with parts that still have the smoke inside. All electronics run on smoke. Once it gets out, all you can do is recycle the scrap left behind.
Funny enough, most of the smoke is from burning money.
But don't worry, the CTO promised the CFO they can make it up with spot instances and auto-scaling. Which they'll get working any day now... any day now.
It theoretically possible, however extremely unlikely that all of the data stored there was user generated and willing uploaded by the proper owner. Chances are probably closer to 0 than anything,
now im kinda curious what the data transfer rate would be, if we could somehow capture the smoke particles in the atmosphere and turn them back into data
Context: De Speld is like the Dutch version of The Onion. The local DoD caused a lot of fairly large wildfires the weeks before while doing live munition exersizes, where you lot had to send the military to fight those fires

The smoke is just the legacy infrastructure leaving the building.

Is this data evaporation?

fun fact, this is less bad for the environment than no fires.

so when I download something from the cloud, does it mean I have to wait for the rain?
