Google has paid $10 million in a bankruptcy auction for a large amount of data from the defunct Spirit Airlines, Bloomberg Law reports.
The purchase includes 100 million emails, 500 million messages, data from Microsoft Teams, as well as information on revenue, flight operations, marketing, personnel, and project management. The material also includes 30 million lines of program code, development data, and various software models and algorithms, as well as pricing data from 7.2 billion competing flights and approximately 7.5 billion passenger transactions.
No personal data will be included in the deal, and according to Google, a third party will review the material and remove any information that could identify individuals. Google said the data will then be used to improve the company's products and AI models.
In addition to well-known tips—such as staying on top of system updates, keeping storage space free, and regularly scanning for malware—Microsoft highlights OneDrive and visual effects as performance killers. We show you how to get around these issues.
