    Trump says paying communities a “dividend” could make data centers more popular.

    Continuing to push the widely unpopular data center projects, Trump said in a Truth Social post that some of them “have become extremely popular when a financial deal is struck.” His plan sounds lot like Meta’s approach on the Hyperion project in Louisiana, where Mark Zuckerberg has touted $50,000 bonus checks for teachers despite a secretive approval process residents didn’t know much about.

    As the President of the United States, I have been watching Data Centers very closely, and have come to a very strong conclusion. New and large, in some cases gigantic, Data Centers are mandated by me to make their own electricity, and give or sell any excess back to the local community, or grid, and therefore there is electric price increase. In fact, there could be a substantial decrease. Other elements likewise! If companies want to make their Data Centers popular, pay the community, and/or individuals within the community, a “dividend.” I have watched the process closely, and Data Centers that were highly unpopular in a certain area, have become extremely popular when a financial deal is struck. MAKE DEALS, and get them built!!! GREAT FOR THE U.S.A. President DJT

    Florida says its DMV was hacked by ‘an international cybercriminal organization.’

    As Ars Technica reports, Florida’s Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles says the hackers accessed its systems using a local law enforcement employee’s “compromised credentials.” The FLHSMV has started notifying victims about the breach, which could have exposed “driver licenses data, motor-vehicle information, document images, and other personal information.”
