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?

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.

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 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

This honestly sounds like the best solution to this particular problem.

Yes they will get paid eventually. They put that into law after 2019. If you are furloughed, you cannot use leave. Even if you are emergency essential and still working during the shutdown, I don't believe that you can be paid for leave (but you can still take it if it was scheduled before the shutdown).
