on one side of this, the good news is that a lot of the devices have no reason to be online for normal functionality and can be air gapped to hell
on the other side though, even if a network is air gapped, lateral movement of scum like ransomware can still disable the devices and if nobody took a disk image of it while it was still working, it's toast

My thought is more that it was not a born trait, but growing up, you know, in a family that ran a diamond mine with slave labor, kinda doomed him to it

Just a heads up - X is really not doing great in terms of revenue, and is kinda on life support with Elon liquidating Tesla stock to keep it alive. Historically, when large internet companies run into hard financial times, one of their major assets that may be liquidated to try to keep them afloat or to repay debts after bankruptcy is the user data.
And, uh, that's a lot of user data. Please be careful about what information you may have on that platform, because it's probably gonna be sold off
