<p>Reading your comments, it sounds like you are arguing it is impossible to backup files in Dropbox in any reasonable way, and therefore nobody should backup their cloud files. I know you haven’t technically said that, but that’s what it sounds like.<p>I assume you don’t think that, so I’m curious, what would you propose positively?</p>

<p>When you see significant risks to the org and its value, and they go completely unaddressed by management, the board is the final step before going to the public. It is the <i>board’s</i> duty to the public owners to make sure management isn’t driving the company into the ground.<p>It would be interesting to see this raised in the next shareholders meeting as a question of whether the board and exec team are actually competent and doing their work.<p>A man can dream anyway. When there is this much money on the line, sometimes people actually get held somewhat accountable.</p>

<p>I own and drive a 2015 and a 2017. Each of them undoubtedly has software onboard. But I've never had a vehicle that had a recall for software reasons. So now you imply I'm (driving) an antique because I haven't turned over every aspect of driving to software, which is the only reason I can imagine needing constant OTA updates to address recalls. I mean, if you enjoy having daily alerts about needing to update your vehicle, random restarts, random bricking after updates, changes to the vehicle without your consent by third parties, etc. then I guess good on you. I still don't feel like I'm missing anything.</p>

<p>I mean, sure you can find them if you look hard enough, but a phone that plays videos is <i>not</i> a dumbphone in my book. And I wouldn't hand it to my kid. It's probably worse than handing them a smartphone, because I'm guessing it is just dumb enough to have no parental controls.</p>

<p>I’ve never had a software-based danger on my hardware-based vehicles. As such, there is a whole class of recalls that I never needed: all the ones you tell me I’m missing out on.</p>

<p>I would guess it can end the moment either party wants, unless a length was established. At the end of the month or year you’ve paid for, perhaps with a minimum notice, would make sense. Otherwise the provider can refuse to let you stop paying, citing the contract.</p>

<p>Rant incoming...<p>My wife and I live near a park. When we go on walks, we see people who have driven to the park, where they drive slowly around the parking lot, frequently stopping and starting, cars running the whole time. Rarely do they get out of their car. They are, I believe, playing Pokemon Go. Yesterday there were over 2 dozen cars driving around. Nobody was walking. They don't talk to anybody. They are like zombies. I don't get it. Yesterday I did see one dad with his kid, and they were out actually walking on the trails. I can understand that. But driving to the park to drive around?! Argh!<p>end rant. Thanks for listening.</p>

<p>Here’s the part I don’t understand. If they can’t exit, don’t they lose money in spite of the limited downside risk? For example, the Toys “R” Us example:<p>"$1.3 billion came from the buyers’ own pockets”<p>"PE consortium collected $470 million in fees and interest over the course of ownership”<p>So they lost $830M on the deal?</p>
