Most big data centers have at least two separate power sources.
I am not saying they are lying, but that seems very odd to me.

Great point. I manage several data centers and we have more double wide trailer sized generators than I can even count.

One day last week after picking my two granddaughters up from school,when we got home I realized Pop Pop forgot his house key! No worries. Just slid the kitchen window up,moved some dishes from the sink and fired the eight year old in there were she went around and unlocked the kitchen door. Who knew?

Exactly. I thought that server farms usually had rather robust backup generators.

One of the clients for AWS is Canvas which is a platform that a lot of universities use for their online courses. Canvas was down during this outage, and that meant a helluva lot of students across the country couldn’t take their online tests.

A “power outage” for 8 hours will somehow delay all shipments for 3 days.

I have no sympathy for those who have become too technologically dependent.

that's why everyone who relies on the internet to unlock their house needs some sort of backup plan ... maybe something like this bolted on the wall next to the back door:
