Three days ago, from the "oops" department:
AI Support Bot Invents Nonexistent Policy

Maybe I've missed some sarcasm, but just tap the Shift (up arrow) twice.

This company has owned APC since 2007, so if you've purchased a BackUPS or a replacement battery pack, you're probably among the "sensitive customer" information allegedly involved.

I've mentioned this brand here before, but Sceptre offers "dumb" TV devices. I have absolutely no affiliation with the company, but I'm happy with the one I purchased relatively recently, which works exactly as expected.

Dumb TVs are definitely harder to find but they're still around. Look at Sceptre, for example. I'm not affiliated with them in any way, but I've been a satisfied customer for about a year.

Dupe

The settlement site has an embedded script in every page from googletagmanager.com and it requires a Goolge reCAPTCHA (thus scripts from both google.com and gstatic.com) just to login after registration.

Everyone currently posting here has it just a bit off. From the FDIC page linked a few posts above (with emphasis added):

A individual checking account and individual savings account only count together as one ownership. However, two people can have one individual account each, plus a third account with joint ownership.

They did this for two years, about two years ago. Their capsule was filled with nitrogen, rather than a dielectric coolant, but apparently it was quite reliable. We see no commercial offering from them yet, so perhaps it wasn't quite as great of a success as they had hoped.

I'm a bit surprised nobody has mentioned the parallels with Record Player X from Gödel, Escher, Bach.

That "bizzaro" layout is the ISO standard. They offer both the ISO layout and the ANSI layout (where Enter is rectangular), in multiple layouts, and you can actually request custom artwork on each key as well as on the laptop lid. They have a fairly interesting page describing all of this.

Linking 8 of these time crystals might make a time cube.

This isn't targeting residents at all. You need to click through a few links, but the heart of the bill is just two paragraphs you can read here.

Distilling even further, it applies to permits: "FOR AN ELECTRIC GENERATING FACILITY THAT UTILIZES A CARBON-BASED FUEL AND THAT PROVIDES, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, BEHIND-THE-METER ELECTRIC ENERGY CONSUMED OR UTILIZED BY CRYPTOCURRENCY MINING OPERATIONS THAT USE PROOF-OF-WORK AUTHENTICATION METHODS TO VALIDATE BLOCKCHAIN TRANSACTIONS."

This bill clearly targets large power generation installations (which are already regulated) where the "behind the meter" usage supports mining. This means whatever you generate that you don't send back to the grid. They're asking for environmental impact statements before approving or renewing such permits.

It doesn't mention the level of power generation requires regulation in the linked regulation, but it certainly doesn't apply to adding a few solar panels on your roof or even a diesel generator in the back yard. This is targeting organizations that are building large carbon-based power plants, and again this is something that was already regulated. The only difference now is that if you're building the plant to supply mining operations, you're going to have to wait for approval.
