Maybe something is wrong with the whole US electric power supply.
There is, and it's protectionism and cronyism.
Here in California, PG&E literally burned down [much of] Paradise[, CA] by skipping maintenance for literally 99 years.
As for the "storage and network access cosst are low" argument, a product is priced on value, not cost.
Yes, and what this article is about is the value of the service declining, so people are leaving for services with a better value proposition.
Also, nuclear plant produces power, AI datacenter consumes it. Nuke plants won't make their power cheaper, but they also won't make it unavailable .
Only if you say it's OK elsewhere.
What the hell does a rocket need NINE MEGAWATTS of electrical power for?
To train an LLM during flight.
Yeah this. I use teams all the time and I'm not happy about it but it mostly works and it has a lot of features. Meanwhile zoom is highly likely to not work. Last time I tried to use it, both video and audio tested good, then NEITHER worked and I could only chat during the "call".
People who lived in a big county could have to pay fees to call people in the same county! They were called "local toll" calls. Telcos have always been parasites.
This is not even remotely true.

Why do you react so angrily to disagreement?
Oh look, you're morally bankrupt and stupid. Already knew that, though.
I promise you that letting Jesus into your life will make it better.
Oh, THAT is the specific kind of creeper dipshit you are. I wondered. I do not want or need Jesus to save me from what Jesus is going to do to me (send me to hell) if I don't love him. Your god is the most pathetic abusive substitute for an abusive spouse ever imagined by sad little men.
Not pulling people over to issue frivolous tickets saves lives.
Not pulling people over for safety violations costs lives.
It's his sister's fault she didn't preserve the key.
It's Mickeysoft's fault they locked the computer for no reason. Locking a normal user's desktop computer (i.e. not one with additional security-related group policy) just because they weren't using it is both user-hostile and pathetic. It gives off strong "Notice me senpai" energy.
There are no heroes in this story, but that goes triple for Microsoft's user-hostile defaults.
That's because for the most part, insurance will cover the loss
Insurance doesn't cover not getting to work. It might help pay for a rental car, but my insurance rental car amount won't completely cover even an econobox, even though I have an employee discount for car rental (my employer has a deal with one of the rental companies.) And even then I still have to wait for a rental car to show up.
It really doesn't matter what you think, what was stolen was worth a fuckton of money,
Anyone transporting a bunch of important data should a) have another copy and b) encrypt it. Does that excuse stealing it? No, but someone not actually trying to steal your data should only be responsible for stealing your HDDs, as intent matters. The value of the data should be irrelevant unless someone intentionally broke in and deleted your only copy. If not having your data leaked is important, you should be encrypting that data.
Yeah, people should all drive perfectly at all times.
This isn't necessary at all. All people have to do is pay attention even slightly. Flashing lights ahead? Slow down or get over. It is after all already the law.
Bill's not really an ex-anything.
BYTE editors are people who separate the wheat from the chaff, and then carefully print the chaff.
