Or as a way for someone putting malware on the system to keep other malware away…

To everyone saying this is AI, I can assure you it’s not. It’s an editorial blog from a well known journalist. He does write in a more relaxed conversational style but I am sure, after following his site for over 20 years now, he’s not using AI.

It was written less than an hour after his previous post so I’m sure there was a lot he was tracking before throwing this out there.

As to the story itself, I have seen where a lot of organizations have pushed guidance not to respond until leadership tells everyone what to do. At least in the DoD. I don’t know how everyone is supposed to respond by Monday night anyway, some people have schedules where they don’t work on Monday.

For anyone reading this that has to install Windows, when you get to the point where it asks you to log into a Microsoft account, hit shift+F10, type oobe\bypassnro into the command prompt and after it reboots select “I don’t have an account”…

I would still maintain that Linux is a better option though.

You should probably look up what the word “operational” means.

And yet they have still been operational for 60 years after that… Funny that the U2 lasted longer than the Soviet Union.

Puerto Rico is not autonomous. In Puerto Rico v. Sanchez Valle, the US Supreme Court found that sovereignty of Puerto Rico ultimately resides in the United States Congress. The US Congress can pass a law for Puerto Rico and there is nothing anyone in the Puerto Rican government can do about it. US Congress has ultimate control over Puerto Rico (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PROMESA as an example). That isn’t autonomous.

“If Congress chose to alter Puerto Rico’s political status, it could do so through statute regardless of whether a plebiscite were held or what sentiment such a vote revealed.” Political Status of Puerto Rico: Brief Background and Recent Developments for Congress (https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/R/R44721/7)

Puerto Rico had been owned by the United States since the US took it during the Spanish-American War in 1898. It is part of the US. There have been multiple votes asking if they want to become an official state of the US. Other countries don’t get the choice to become US states. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Territories_of_the_United_States#Incorporated_vs._unincorporated_territories

You don’t need a passport because it is inside US borders.

It can be just like you’ve said. You can also run tailscale directly on the system hosting a service and access it directly over the tailscale network.

Would you prefer the reporter refer to you as a family, company, or building…

The point being made here is that customer is the best noun that the English language has for a reporter to talk about a companies customers. This was never about an electric company referring to people. This is all some made up BS that is completely off topic to the article.

What should the AP have called all the customers of the utility companies other than customers?

As someone currently experiencing power loss in Tampa, i can state that I am not a company. Neither is my mom, who is also a customer of Tampa Electric, a family. Your entire comment thread on here is grabbing at an accurate statement and trying to turn it into something it’s not.

I think that, as someone that is directly affected, your comments are more insulting than the article.

You’re correct about the problem being flooding. The zones in Hillsborough county that were under evacuation orders were the low lying zones. I’m in one of those houses you speak of right now and Milton is currently about 50 miles away. I feel safe here. I know there may be some damage outside that I’ll have to fix, but I would have to do that regardless.

It probably also helps that my house isn’t in an evacuation zone, though there are houses in my neighborhood that are.

It’s looking like there was more storm surge with Helene. If Milton had hit 10-20 miles north though it would have been a toss up.

A lot of overlap from the flooding, more wind from Milton. I know a few people who have had to gut their houses already from Helene and expect it to flood again this week.

Apparently there were two other homes that were destroyed the same way on Davis Island in Tampa because of flooding from Helene.

It’s more of an issue with the HR platforms not being able to read PDF’s. It doesn’t help opening a PDF outside of the platform you are using for hiring actions

I would agree with this except that I don’t have faith that it won’t be leveraged as a way to get out of a whole crapload of taxes. I’m pretty sure that unemployment insurance, and a lot of the federal taxes, are based on wages and not tips. Also what is the limit? Can I pay my friend $50 to mow my lawn and tip him an extra $25,000, just so I can get around the limit for a gift tax? I wouldn’t trust a Republican administration to implement this without making it easier for Rick people to avoid paying taxes.

I thought it was JD “Wentworth” Vance…

It still bothers me 30 years later that in the DC vs Marvel, Wolverine beat Lobo… Shouldn’t have happened to someone that beat up Superman because a guy at a bar said he couldn’t…
