Was just out for a night walk. I can't tell if my eyes are playing tricks, but I felt like I could see short flickers in the city light haze reflected off the air; kept walking, it seemed like it was happening in the streetlights too. Could there be something happening with the power grid?
A brief update on my #battery driven #studio. It looks like I'm going to have to invest in #solar cells right now after all, as the #electricity here on this beautiful island is not only exceptionally bad or #unstable in terms of #voltage but also in terms of #frequency, which makes it difficult for the #inverter to recognize a #powergrid as present at all. 😵💫️ Recently, the #volts have dropped at times below 140 while the frequency has hovered beween 40 to 55 #hertz.
ICYMI, here's the video on how Russia has attacked Ukraine by cyber means during the two years of full-on war, with a focus on the crucial machines that run our world, like power plants. Experts say what Russia does to Ukraine, it can do to any other country, so it's worth the watch. #ukrainewar#industrialcybersecurity#powergrid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPjx5sz8T5s
Last October, Russia's Sandworm hackers breached Ukraine's power grid again to trigger a blackout for the third time. In this case, the power outage coincided with missile strikes, the first such combination of digital and physical attack of this kind.
Three separate electronic devices failed at my house today around 11:30 a.m. We suspect a power surge. Anyone else in New England/NYC have this happen?
Baltic energy ministers have agreed to synchronise their power grids with Europe, and away from Russia.
As part of the agreement, transmission system operators will not extend the existing Moscow-controlled post-Soviet energy system (BRELL) agreement and synchronise with the rest of Europe by February 2025.
The #AbbotOven has a nice ring to it. As he is chiefly responsible for #PowerGrid failures, it is fitting.
Regarding #RDS, I had long been routing for #DeathSantis, but after the height of the Covid-19 #Pandemic and the fact that he has been killing democracy step by step, I think he merits #RonDeathSentence.
