Here’s a little FYI for ya. Tropic Thunder is based on my experiences in Vietnam.
Helluva presumption to just pull out of your ass about someone whose only relation to this matter is family name.
It likely didn’t affect cellphones. I know major appliances and vehicles were to be supported no less than 7 years. So I’d guess this just brings cellphones and other electronic items under that umbrella. Makes me wonder what is exempt, though.
I would hazard a guess that they were running a geostationary setup rather than Starlinks LEO approach.
Who could have predicted this!?
My knowledge is specific to TVA, but I was privy to such an agreement that a Cryptominer I worked for had.
The Local Utility Provider would bill the company for their usage, but they did not provide the rate. TVA did because of the amount of electricity. This rate is much cheaper than the Utility Provider offers residential customers; economies of scale as well as the inability to store this amount of power meaning it’s “wasted” otherwise. Whenever there is a period of intense usage TVA would provide a 30 minute notice. After the 30 minutes were up the rate provided to us (industry) would more than quadruple, and was actually quite a bit above the residential rate. Residential customers are entirely exempt from this. Your rate, is your rate, is your rate.
The effect of the above meant that it was a mad scramble to shut everything offline whenever we got notice. Otherwise we were losing money. Regular industry trudged along because their bottom line doesn’t care if their power rate quadrupled for 3 hours a dozen days out of the year. It’s not that big a deal.
I definitely got to see the sausage being made, and it’s opened up my mind to some of the ignorance around crypto mining. If anything it drove me further away from being interested in it as anything more than a neat tech demonstration that people figured they could trade.
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.

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.
For the company, and no one should ever assume for a moment that everyone has their guard up at all times and is infallible.
I mean they’re not wrong, BYOD is an absolutely ginormous attack vector.
Labor strike means less labor performed.

Yes, absolute game changer. Can’t live without it. Use various videos to go to sleep to at night and the last thing I need is for ads that the original content creator didn’t even ask for that are 5x as loud as the video I have playing.
Just. Be. There.
You’re a parent, so you know how this is going to work. By the seat of your pants. Medical and Psychiatric needs are beyond your control. I know you say that it’s a need but it’s simply not one you can provide other than it coming from you directly. It’s just not something you can unilaterally do. You can try and get in contact with counselors at their school, but that’s about it. So focus on what you can do and that is be there. Harvard released a study about 8 years ago that had the statement that every successful child had ONE invested, stable adult person in their life. Not parent, aunt, uncle, brother, sister, grandparent. Person.
It sounds to me like you’re pretty dedicated to being that person. So I’d say the best thing you can do now is to just be you, and don’t stress about the things beyond your control. If you can continue to just be willing to invest this much effort you’ve shown already then you’ll be the best thing going for this child.
Then you’ve been mislead. It hit the parking lot, damaged vehicles but left the building relatively intact and, besides windows, superficially damaged.
