Grandparent commenter with "Austin" in his name was saying his power gets shut off even w/out ransomware. Parent commenter asked "when?" and I answered the question.

I'm not taking a position on the similarity or dissimilarity between shutting down a service because you can't bill accurately and shutting down a service because you refuse to interoperate with other providers.

All I'm saying is Texas customers did get their electricity cut off recently.
