There were several things that changed since winter storm Yuri.
-Many fuel providers stopped being cheap and added heat trace to equipment so it doesn't freeze (a legal requirement the Texas removed years ago. And of course only work if it has power).
-ERCOT established a list of how much fuel is being produced behind each meter. So next time they start shutting off power to "low priority" industrial sector, they don't accidentally shut off their entire fuel supply ...again....
-Data Centers, cryptominers and other massive power sinks are often part of demand management programs. A data center gets paid $$ for every watt they are willing to give up in an emergency.
There are various programs that offer different levels of notice; 24hr, 12hr, 1hr, 15min, no notice. The less notice the better the pay.
Major cryptominers love it; they get paid hundreds of thousands of $$ just to agree to the contract. And if a year goes by and ERCOT only shuts them off once for 15 minutes, then they still get the money. And for every min they are shut off, they get even more $$.
For some industries, a power interruption is costly. For cryptominers it is a minor inconvenience.
Not a fan with how short sighted things still are here, but there are some programs in place now.

Donate money, time, and whatever else you can to help.
I think everyone understands that being loud might draw the wrong attention, so do what you can to support the ones that you want as much as you are able.
Here is the article discussing the journalist. Reuters made an incredible effort to show, with evidence, how directly targeted the journalist group was.
Game wise: started with Pathfinder package in 2016, origin315. Now I'm quite a bit further in... I like the ships that have utility vs combat ships... And there are quite a few of those.
Personally: sold a house, moved to apartment, bought a house, moved cities twice, made 3 career changes and in a fairly decent spot now. Very different from where I was.
Server meshing proof of concept is a huge hurdle they at least demonstrated they can do it on small scale.
Totally on board with those who were not impressed. Expectations need to be tempered with everything CIG.
As an engineer working with power distribution, I actually liked the little FTL like system they are going with. I have feeling highly experienced engineering players will be able to recover highly damaged systems that normally are behind repair, this making them good for salvage teams too.

I believe this is the article you are referring to.

The person you are replying to did not offer any support to the horrible things done in that area.
...unless you believe their statement was supportive of the actions done by Israel.
Does it feel like every new ship that comes out in a category is somehow better than the others in the same category.
I get that is the natural iteration of things, but I just hope that older ships get an update pass to bring them up to par.

Well heck... I hope X-Energy's deal with DOW keeps going forward
Proton Pass has a 2fa option built in

I definitely want that 'realistic audio'

Thank you for that 😅 I was indeed a little confused at the title.
I suppose it all depends on what you want and what value you place on it.
I am doing the $120/yr unlimited, so that is $10/mo for me. Same price as some streaming service and I use proton a lot more than I do them.
If you find no value in the other features like proton pass, drive or calender, then yeah, maybe it a singular service would be more attractive.
Old and abandoned or new and not yet occupied?
I would be interested in this as well.
Heck, I'd be interested in the recommendation of any pocket watch with interesting visible movements that won't destroy my bank account.
Thanks for this. I'm just getting interested in this stuff and appreciate how much info is posted
Is there such a thing as open source vehicle system software?
