This shit would be so exciting if people trusted the government. Fast dispatch of lifesaving equipment and less-lethal crime disruption options are amazing steps forward for society. But we're all thinking about them strapping AI-guided machine guns to these things.

    One factor is utilities’ surge in spending on wires and other equipment used to deliver electricity, a trend partly attributable to rising power demand from data centers, according to researchers.

    Of course, fucking AI. So sick of it making everything worse...

    dark web and clear web sites seized

    Excuse me but if you are running an illicit website where you are likely to be targeted by Interpol, FBI, MI6, etc, then why the fuck would you register a DNS on the clearnet?

    This is one of the only times I will support encryption failing. I hope to God this dumbass ends up accidentally leaking sensitive info that allows others to view everything everyone of the feeble minded using that project in the future is sending, alongside responses.

    There is actually a decent reason for this.

    Offshore infrastructure is highly exposed to sabotage, a sub with a few divers could easily fit remote explosives to the structure, the foreign power could then destroy them during an energy crisis or similar event.

    Hell, they could simply torpedo the infrastructure directly.

    This is a real risk, but plenty of people just treat it like a pretext to not build renewables, which I suspect it is in this case.

    My point is that, yes there is a strategic risk to building offshore infrastructure, but it is a risk that can be dealt with, as long as the capacity of the offshore windfarm is redundant, then it is perfectly fine to use them.

    You can even export the surplus power when you get it.
