I'm not talking about regular users or workspace admins. I understand its lost TO the users.
I am simply bringing up the point Google probably has the bytes somewhere. Why are we talking about hearts and minds here? This is a purely technical statement.
1) What's happening internally at Google, which you are right of course. The bytes could be somewhere. This could be a limit reached, a bad index, something wrongly rebuilt, actual data loss, etc.
2) What's happening to the users that posted on the thread. Which is what I was saying in regards to it being the same since they can't do anything about it and Google's not providing insight and already skipping meetings.
Both are right and just different lenses.
It's like on /r/sysadmin when something goes down and some people are writing 'Good luck', 'godspeed' while others are complaining about the outage.
Fellow sysadmins vs users. Two different lenses to the same issue.
Yes but I am the original poster to bring up how, internally, they probably didn't lose data. I was trying to make a point how despite what users see in the UI, etc, they still have the data.
Both may be right with different lenses, but I've already specified which lens we are talking about here (internally at google, not what people perceive in the UI).
I have tried to keep on-topic to #1, but everyone wants to talk about #2 and how its a valid view. I agree its a valid view, but why can't we have a discussion on #1? I don't care about #2 and there are pleanty of sub-threads about #2. #2 is almost off-topic or irrelevant for what I wanted to bring up.
