The EV Charger Hack That Can Burn Down Your House Just Got More Terrifying
Trend Micro researchers found a hack to remotely disable overheating protection in most home EV chargers. The results, which we got to see at Black Hat, were explosive.

Got this today. Being a hopeless liberal state, Oregon has aggressively pushed electric cars, plus we coincidentally have a fairly new data center nearby. I'm sure that will cut back so the ordinary people won't have to

Yes, it's seems the politicos in power always want to be perceived as doing what's best for their constituents even when they are more concerned about pursuing a policy that contradicts that. By that I mean, they push and push for people to get EVs, eliminate gas heating, eliminate fossil-fueled electric generation and basically go all-electric with their appliances and THEN...lo and behold, they won't admit they should have improved that electric grid BEFORE recruiting more users by eliminating the best alternatives to heating especially in very cold climates. Now they want you to cut back on using those devices they demanded that you buy earlier.Got this today.

I'm certainly no scientist or engineer but I'm certain of this.....even at pushing 77 years of age I will NOT witness in my remaining lifetime a better method of house heating, especially in the extremely cold winter temps in portions of the U.S., than natural gas or propane. Heat pumps currently CANNOT work below zero, most cannot below 30, some older ones below 40 and need resistive electric heater strips to provide any heat and resistive electric heat is EXTREMELY power hungry. Electricity does a great job at circulating that heated air so keep it around for that.
Each resource.....gas and electricity (even when derived by fossil fuels) has a suited purpose that cannot be surpassed AT THIS CURRENT TIME by other methods or fuels...at least not in reality, maybe so on paper or in the minds of engineers and scientists but until I can walk into a store or open a catalog and point to one that I can AFFORD TO BUY and have it installed in a week or two then forget it.....end of discussion.

Wind farms are driving YOUR electricity bills up, admits Ofgem
Energy regulator Ofgem revealed this morning that the price cap will rise from October 1 by 2 per cent - double what was expected - for a typical household in England, Scotland and Wales.

Guess we soon won't need expensive scan tools, once AI gets all the error codes from various vehicle manufacturers with or without their help.
