I can assure you the midwest has large swaths of wind turbines. Drive through Iowa along I 80 and I 35 sometime. But they have also shut down Duane Arnold nuclear power plant. In addition, the grid is busy modernizing to support cul de sacs of multiple ev superchargers, and private solar goung back into the grid. Things the grid wasnâ(TM)t designed to hanfle.

Not true. I worked for a Apple VAR in the dark days of the late 90â(TM)s. we would have to make sure invoices didnâ(TM)t include the word Mac or Apple when selling to Rockwell Collins. We would make the description something like âoePowerPC G4 workstationâ to get it in the door past the antimac corporate overlords.

Comment GPLv3? (Score 2) 100

Wouldnâ(TM)t there be issues with Microsoft using gplv3 projects? I (and Pepperidge Farms) remember when Apple did a gplv3 purge by writing their own smb implementation to replace Samba and moved from gcc. I think they also bought CUPS to prevent it from going gplv3. Wouldnâ(TM)t Microsoft have to navigate gplv3 to make this work?

Glad to hear NYC has enough kits. In flyover country, not so much. The state of Iowa received 400 kits for the state. Immediate care clinics wonâ(TM)t see you for anything that might be covid. Family some family doctors will. Otherwise you are going to the hospital to get strep and RIDT tests first. Then if you fall into guidelines and those tests are negative you can get tested for COVID. Also LA was low enough on kits they went to a guideline of only testing if it would change your treatment plan for the patient.

First, this article has nothing to do with Trump. Second, based on the letter it looks like payroll information on DOD employees was leaked. Third, for DISA controlled networks there are three main types. Niprnet, Siprnet,, and Jwics. Nipr is for non classfied info. It is kept as private as possible. Sipr is for Classfied information typically at the secret level. More care and precautions are taken for securing sipr than what you would use for nipr communications. Lastly we have JWICS. This is the network used for Top Secret communications (like POTUS comms) etc. This network uses extensive use of specialized encryptors and the likes. So if a sipr breach occurs it has nothing to do with JWICS communications.
