100%, it varies depending on what you're looking at. IIRC it took them forever to even log at UTC instead of whatever. And some systems still had exceptions.

Google is PDT-centric, and never grew out of it. Everything is Mountain View time internally and it's so jarring.

Android had (has?) a similar issue with the hotspot feature where it will not turn on in a region where 5 GHz is more regulated than in the US but will also not give you any warning about it.

Sounds like Wireless CarPlay lag. I've experienced it a few times. They should really fix it. Wired CarPlay is great!

At this point it's very easy: no CarPlay, no buy. So no Tesla (obv), no Rivian.

Re:Maine Is About to Become the First State to Ban Major New Data Centers
on Friday April 10, 2026 @03:57AM (#47714955)
You're confusing colos and first-party data centers. A colo mostly relies on its customers for installs and maintenance. Google, MS, FB, Apple etc own the entire building so all the functions are local: server install and maintenance, network install and maintenance, generator maintenance, electricians, water treatment in some cases... That's very easily in the hundreds if not thousands for big sites.
Count the cars here: 36.242186561973, -95.32619746715035
Re:Maine Is About to Become the First State to Ban Major New Data Centers
on Friday April 10, 2026 @03:53AM (#47714931)
You have no idea how much maintenance is required. Just replacing hard drives, not even counting server repairs, new servers installation, network infrastructure installation and maintenance, power distribution, generator engineering, water treatment etc etc
Re:Maine Is About to Become the First State to Ban Major New Data Centers
on Friday April 10, 2026 @03:51AM (#47714917)
Data centers are hardly new technology... For the longest time, people had no idea where the cloud was because the footprint was pretty small. It's another golden goose moment where everyone is going to build DCs and we might end up like in the dotcom bubble where way too much fiber was deployed for what was necessary at the time.

Less than 30 makes no sense. It's easily in the hundred if you account for shifts and the specialized jobs required.

Some airlines and/or local aviation authorities have additional restrictions. China wants CCC certified power banks, Thailand has a strict 160 Wh limit. Both are very strictly enforced.
