thewayneWhat a story! The factory wants to expand production of ammo for Ukraine as they are consuming massive amounts of it. Except there's one problem. TikTok is building data centers around the world so countries can have their data hosted within their border.
Data centers require HUGE amounts of energy.
And there's none left for the factory to expand and increase production. Energy in Norway is allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, and TikTok got allocated before the factory did. And it will take some time for more energy to become available.
You just can't make shit like this up.

We can put an app on our phones for the new timecard system at work, but there is no way I am putting a work app on my phone. :o :o :o

Date: 2023-04-02 12:25 am (UTC)I looked at TT once when a news article talked about a neighbor in an apartment complex placing an outdoor security camera pointing directly at the bedroom and balcony of an attractive young woman, and her response to it. And that's it. I've read lots about it, including the Texas cop who pulled someone over and livestreamed it on TT, including revealing the person's personal identifying information. I don't mess with Facebook, or Instagram, etc. I have this blog and a few others, and that's about the limit of what I'm willing to do on Social Media.
