I had to visit my big box hardware store today. I turned around and went home because of the condition of entry was to wear a mask. Had no mask and if I did, out of principle I do not wear one.

The new global internet service is taking pre-orders StarlinkIs this 5G via satellite? Might as well throw myself under a fast moving truck and be done with it, rather than a slow roast with a marinade of pain and suffering. |

“Smart” thermostats in Texas being remotely controlled by government to limit energy usage
Some residents of the Lone Star State are reporting that their “smart” thermostats are now being remotely controlled by the government to help minimize energy use during the current heat wave “crisis.”
As Texas struggles through yet another season where residents are having to use basic utilities in order to maintain livable temperatures within their homes, officials are scrambling to come up with some kind of solution that will avoid crashing the entire grid.
The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), which boondoggled the Texas energy crisis back in February, is urging Texans to turn up their thermostats to keep the state’s energy grid from failing. In some cases, however, this is happening automatically and without consent.
“[My wife] had it cranked down at 2:30,” complained Deer Park resident Brandon English to local Houston news affiliate KHOU. “It takes a long time for this house to get cool when it gets that hot. They’d been asleep long enough that the house had already gotten to 78 degrees. So they woke up sweating.”
English’s wife reportedly received an alert on her phone not long after that indicating that her and her husband’s thermostat had been changed remotely, without their permission, due to an “energy saving event.”
“Was my daughter at the point of overheating? She’s three months old. They dehydrate quickly,” English further lamented.

They say June 24, 2021 at 2 am this 12 story condo "collapsed". If you watch this video you can see tiny sparks (detonations). No way this went down without some help.

The National Guard Just Simulated A Cyberattack That Brought Down Utilities NationwideNational Guardsmen just completed a two-week training exercise which saw them respond to a simulated cyberattack that took out critical utilities across the United States. The exercises have become an annual event, but this year took on even more significance after coming on the heels of several major ransomware and cyber attacks that crippled large parts of American infrastructure in recent months. The exercises were part of the seventh Cyber Yankee, an training event that brings together guardsmen from throughout the New England region to test their responses against simulated cyberattacks. This year’s exercises simulated a cyber attack that targeted utilities on the West Coast before spreading east across the United States towards New England. In addition to offering hands-on training on how to respond to active cyberattacks, the exercise was also intended to build cyber defense collaboration between the National Guard and private sector partners, the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, and U.S. Cyber Command, among others. link

World’s Top Bitcoin Mining-Rig Maker Halts Sales as Clients FleeBitmain Technologies Ltd. has suspended sales of machines for spot delivery globally, aiming to prop up local prices after crypto miners fleeing Beijing’s crackdown dumped used mining rigs on the market. The world’s biggest maker of Bitcoin machines told the local mining community Wednesday it has stopped selling new equipment after prices for top-tier rigs plunged by about 75% since April. By postponing sales, it could help miners exiting the industry get better prices for their machines. Bitmain could also benefit if the reduced supply buoys prices over the longer term for new machines. The firm said it will continue to sell gear for future delivery of devices used to mine smaller altcoins. A company spokesman confirmed the decision, which was reported earlier by local blogs, without saying when business will resume. link
