Who has the keys to free the hostage? ERCOT or the Crypto Mine?

Don't blame the Crypto Mine for the decisions of the State or ERCOT.

TVA doesn't give energy credits. They give you a thirty minute notice that your ¢/kwh is about to quadruple.

Someone gonna tell him that's not likely or nah?

What?

Whether it was meant to keep their population from panicking is a valid discussion, but saying that Ukraine was not saying the invasion was unlikely is a total lie.

Putting an arbitrary age limit (like say 65) would also keep out any folks who want to run after they retire (and who can't afford to run for office before then).

That sounds like a separate problem that shouldn't be used to argue against mandatory retirements for the absolute highest political positions.

Don't be afraid to show the world that not all southerners are right wing. I am prideful of my southern heritage while at the same time embracing others and celebrating theirs. I'll never be ashamed of my drawl/accent and if other people choose to look down on me, well, that sounds like their loss.

Hopefully that becomes more nuanced with time. Did you hack your school? Or an unrelated entity? What color hat, grey or black? Last known activity? Age of the person at the time?

All questions that need answers presented alongside any history of misuse.

Honestly I can't imagine that's a tenable position to take long term. We've seen the U.S. govt rethink it's approach to IT after it was pointed out their failure to intice applicants was a result of stupidly strict Drug Policy and Dress Code. Who knew that a large segment of the IT field don't like Business Casual and like to smoke weed? Who knew that people drawn to CyberSecurity are likely to have dabbled on the other side of the line prior to making a career out of it?

You're telling me in 2023, kids are using "Droid" again to refer to Android?

I hadn't heard that since they literally first came out.

Also, this isn't surprising. It was assumed that younger generations, those growing up with PCs, Tablets, Smartphones, etc, would become inherently skilled with their use. Turns out that was entirely false because it also turns out people don't want to learn what they aren't interested in. So if you don't care about anything more than TikTok, Insta, and Snapchat, then you don't learn anything more than what is necessary to operate them. And Apple makes this very easy in terms of not needing to relearn even an iota between their models. Android cannot say the same.

Scammers notably of course, but it's Microsoft's sanctioned solution to them removing RDP capability with Azure. I'm super interested in finding out what cut they get or how much TeamViewer payed for that.

Azure killed RDP.
