Would you prefer the reporter refer to you as a family, company, or building…
The point being made here is that customer is the best noun that the English language has for a reporter to talk about a companies customers. This was never about an electric company referring to people. This is all some made up BS that is completely off topic to the article.
What should the AP have called all the customers of the utility companies other than customers?

As someone currently experiencing power loss in Tampa, i can state that I am not a company. Neither is my mom, who is also a customer of Tampa Electric, a family. Your entire comment thread on here is grabbing at an accurate statement and trying to turn it into something it’s not.
I think that, as someone that is directly affected, your comments are more insulting than the article.
You’re correct about the problem being flooding. The zones in Hillsborough county that were under evacuation orders were the low lying zones. I’m in one of those houses you speak of right now and Milton is currently about 50 miles away. I feel safe here. I know there may be some damage outside that I’ll have to fix, but I would have to do that regardless.
It probably also helps that my house isn’t in an evacuation zone, though there are houses in my neighborhood that are.
It’s looking like there was more storm surge with Helene. If Milton had hit 10-20 miles north though it would have been a toss up.
A lot of overlap from the flooding, more wind from Milton. I know a few people who have had to gut their houses already from Helene and expect it to flood again this week.
Just use Snapraid & MergerFS. No special Hardware required and you don’t need to change what is on your disks.
From a quick search: https://perfectmediaserver.com/02-tech-stack/snapraid/
This is how I do it. No striping, normal partitions, different hard drive sizes, pretty easy. This way makes upgrades super easy too. Currently running 76TB mergerfs with 2 14TB Snapraid parity drives.
I know that Pixel 7’s and above support it. There are Reddit posts showing they have the feature already. Satellite messaging is just using standard 4G/LTE from Starlink. I wouldn’t be surprised if this is only an OS update away for most newer phones.
Looks like it’s been available on some android devices for at least a month. I don’t know about free though, I think it depends on your carrier. I know T-Mobile has been talking about supporting it using Starlink satellites.

New Caledonia is part of France, it’s not a different country. If you are a New Caledonian, you are a French citizen.
I get alerts on my Android for an Airtag I keep in my backpack all the time. My phone gives me the option to make the Airtag play a sound.
On Debian, you have to be root or a sudoer. Those commands are there, just not in the path of regular users.
Probably not that deep. I’ve heard there are definitely discounts. That doesn’t count for much though when it still increases your cost 6x.
I believe you’re right. The huge concern for a lot of the EVs out there is that you don’t really know who is actually able to get that data, specifically live camera feeds from around the vehicle. I think that may be why China started banning Tesla from around their sensitive areas. It makes me think that there are probably no good actors across the board with regards to EVs. The brand of car will eventually (if not already) be a choice of who you let spy on you.
China had already deemed Tesla a security threat. Makes sense. 2022 Wired Article - https://www.wired.co.uk/article/china-cars-surveillance-national-security
To be fair to the Dune universe, the reason they used swords was because shields made projectile weapons useless and Lasguns and shields just killed everyone (like a mini-nuke on both sides).
I don’t think I appreciated God Emperor until after my 4th read through of the series. Frank Herbert definitely has a great insight into the human condition. Soul Catcher and The Godmakers come to mind most readily but his entire body of work explore different facets of humankind.
Do you think Jason Momoa knows what role he got into?
It can be just like you’ve said. You can also run tailscale directly on the system hosting a service and access it directly over the tailscale network.
