Default EEVBLOG gone offline.

In case you were wondering.

As of approximately 21:13:00 04-04-2021 UTC there was a major outage at the datacenter in Odgen Utah where the EEVBlog servers are hosted. This outage was caused by a fire as a result of performing regular load testing of the emergency generators.

Unfortunately due to the nature of the failure it may be some time before the EEVBlog website and forums are restored to normal operation. Thankfully we maintain several off-site backups of the entire EEVBlog infrastructure, as a result there is no need to worry about any loss of data.

Also please be aware that due to this dave@eevblog.com is also not available, if you need to contact Dave directly please use his alternative email address eevblog@gmail.com

It would appear there is a major problem with their methodology for testing, I have been involved in many tests of data-centres and have yet to set one on fire!!
