All I'm saying is it would be better if you knew what you were talking about. AMD has been outsourcing verification to its customers for many years.

For datacenter operators there is no difference between "performance is so crippled that the TCO doesn't pencil out" and "does not work." No difference at all.

SMTP TLS doesn't and can't validate the certs. It is trivial to MITM it.

The linked decision, if you read it, discusses this. Google has in the past responded to similar requests but after the Microsoft decision they responded differently.

This decision is basically saying that the Microsoft decision was wrong, setting up the possibility of resolution by the Supreme Court.

Are we talking about bulk requests? The case we seem to be discussing here involves "data associated with three Google accounts held by an individual who resided in the United States."

In the case under discussion the government has a warrant.

Lunatic conspiracy theories about what Google does with email abound. There are several likely and reasonable explanations for why you can't find the mails you expect. Two of the most likely being 1) the messages were never acknowledged with a 220 response from gmail's smtp protocol translators to begin with; 2) the messages were accepted but are still in flight for some reason. Gmail does not accept and then silently drop messages. If they are accepted, they will be delivered.

If the feds want your "self hosted" emails they will break down your door, shoot your dog, and take every computer-resembling object on the premises.

That doesn't seem obviously true to me. Google for example doesn't run shuttles to Mountain View Caltrain.

Apple operates door-to-door shuttles to SF and other population centers but that isn't really the point. The point is they have obviously provisioned enough parking to give each and every one of their employees a parking space, with some left over. It's just irresponsible given the traffic situation in the area, and to call it energy efficient is greenwashing.
