Well, let’s hope not
The Russians hacked into the Ukrainian power grid and disabled power. That’s a little scary.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.

I’m so old, I remember when the Y2K bug crashing the power grid was going to be the TEOTWAWKI event

Because all things MUST be connected to the world-wide web, even when it guarantees vulnerability to remote attacks.
And that’s odd, because I seem to recall having electricity BEFORE the there was any such thing as an internet. As freaky and altogether unbelievable as it may be, I also recall having motor vehicles withOUT fucking computers in them, and they worked too, and we high school kids could perform major service work on them (like engine swapping and carburator work) with basic tools. But maybe those are false memories, because as we ALL KNOW today, nothing can work without a computer AND full connectivity. Well, that or we’re all becoming a bunch of fucking idiots. One or the other.

Lyle is correct. Whoever hooks up a nations critical infrastructure to the network is a traitor. There is no such thing as a secure network. It’s treason.

Mike, Lyle and Fred, y’all are all correct. It’s called problem-reaction-solution. Whoever creates the problem has a pre determined solution and it always involves them controlling us. It’s like Lyle explained about working on your own car. The powers that be do not like free and independent people working out their own problems with their own solutions. They fear Liberty!

Let’s not get off track here: The problem, as has been the case most of my life, is the Russians. My kids, unfortunately, most likely will have to deal with the Chinese, instead of those pesky Muscovites.
