The only acceptable places for low cost insurance are places that are pave over with concrete and asphalt now.

I live in California. Last year, Safeco gave me a "notice of nonrenewal" on my homeowner's insurance. They redlined our whole area. I went to Farmer's insurance and got a policy right away. However this year, my insurance rate increased by 81% (no kidding). I now pay $3,400/year for homeowner's insurance. CalFire remapped our area and almost the entire county (and it's a very large county going to the middle of Lake Tahoe) is in the "moderate" fire danger area.
Our only recourse is the California "FAIR" insurance program which is essentially an assigned risk policy that covers ONLY fire (no liability/theft/etc). The "FAIR" insurance premium is even higher than what I'm paying with less coverage.
We're pretty-much screwed. The only places that have low insurance premiums are places where they have removed all of the trees and paved things over with asphalt and concrete.
NASA has a long history of disorganization and money mismanagement. There was even a book about it called the title of this post.
Agreed. I worked for a large computer company and at times, I'd get a call from a person asking me to do their job or them at the plant because "it's my working from home day".
Screw 'em.
I ran in to this when I called my insurance company (Alight) to work on my health insurance. Screaming kid and dishes clanking in the background.
The control processors would still be running. They are part (not all) of the problem. Anything that generates a square wave (and all digital computers do) can theoretically generate infinite harmonics.
It's an issue of proximity. The interfering signals from the EV is within a few feet of the receiver. That's the issue.

The same holds true for EVs. Their motor control circuitry pulses high current, which creates broadband EMI. This type of interference is notably more problems with AM radio reception.
Another reason to never leave mom's basement and meet real people. Then we'll have "depression" as we have now because people never go out the front door and do things. Cry me a river.

That's what happened where I live. Bay Area people moved in and drove up the housing prices. Now an "entry level" house is about $600K. It used to be one quarter of that price.
The DMV will ask for a tip before giving us a driver's license. If no tip, no "service".
I find it entertaining that Tik Toc as a Chinese company is belly aching about the U.S. limiting use but at the same time, China censors and controls various search engines and forms of media in their own country.
I believe you have my stapler.
