I donâ(TM)t think they are, my electric isnâ(TM)t exactly stable, I lose a bulb about every 3mo on average, more if I put all the bulbs in the overheads.

This will cost me more unless I redo the house electrical and the city redoes their grid tolerances which fluctuate quite a bit here.

Submission + - SPAM: The Great Grift: More than $200 billion in COVID-19 aid may have been stolen

An anonymous reader writes: The Inspector-General at the Small Business Administration (SBA) has found an estimated $200 billion in COVID-19 relief funds lost to fraudsters.

Submission + - slashdot drives away people with beta 2

An anonymous reader writes: For many months now, people have been quietly redirected to slashdot's beta site (beta.slashdot.org). Any negative feedback of the beta is ignored and/or disavowed. The majority of viewers do not like the beta — resulting in major loss of viewership.

Will slashdot alienate existing users of the site and keep pushing the beta OR will it keep the users and boot the beta?

Submission + - Alternatives to Slashdot post beta? 8

An anonymous reader writes: Like many Slashdotters, I intend to stop visiting Slashdot after the beta changeover. After years of steady decline in the quality of discussions here, the beta will be the last straw. What sites alternative to Slashdot have others found? The best I have found has been arstechnica.com, but it has been a while since I've looked for tech discussion sites.
