Today's news and jokes
Data center discovered to be draining city's water supply through unauthorized hookups (AI roundup)
“officials discovered two industrial-scale water hookups feeding a data center campus located 20 miles south of downtown Atlanta. One water connection had been installed without the utility’s knowledge, and the other was not linked to the company’s account and therefore wasn’t being billed.”

"Fisker went bankrupt and owners built open source car company from the ashes"
The FOA hired independent tech experts who began reverse-engineering Fisker’s proprietary software patches. Members taught each other how to flash firmware.

They hosted free global key fob pairing events, saving each owner $100 to $250.
In Europe, they created what they call the “Flying Doctors” program — a mobile repair network where technically skilled members travel to help other owners keep their vehicles running.

New comic book Humble Bundle promises "infinite dread"
Starts at $5 for Dwellings, which has gotten good reviews. The Hobtown Mystery stories have been on my watchlist for a while because their covers are so good.
