When it comes to SCADA systems they should never be connected to the internet and should be air gapped to prevent intrusions. If connecting from a remote location it should be secured with a VPN, 2fa and be read-only. SCADA systems are almost constantly monitored 24/7 and someone onsite should be able to handle any emergencies

    This is argued about all the time and the general consensus revolves around a singular question. Is it sexually explicit, does it show lascivious nudity of the genitals in a sexual manner. This is why if you're at a nudist beach taking pictures of your wife and a naked kid is in the background playing in the sand or something that kids do its not csam. It falls down to, would a normal person think this nudity is excessive or sexual

    I'm not wikipedia (but I did steal the last part from it) but Loli is an abbreviation of Lolita, both describe the same thing young, prepubescent kids, most often girls. It came about from a Russian-American book published in 1955 of the same name, Lolita, The protagonist and narrator is a French literature professor who moves to New England and writes under the pseudonym Humbert Humbert. He details his obsession with and victimization of a 12-year-old girl, Dolores Haze, whom he describes as a "nymphet". Humbert becomes sexually obsessed with Dolores after becoming her stepfather, and romanticizes his obsession. Privately, he calls her "Lolita", the Spanish diminutive for Dolores.

    I'm sure it must be great not having to deal with your body beating itself up for not getting pregnant that month. It might be invasive and feel free not to answer but im curious, have you noticed any other improvements or issues since then?

    For those that don't want to click the link herea the important part of what they are: The main advantage is that they electrically isolate the panels from one another, so small amounts of shading, debris or snow lines on any one solar module, or even a complete module failure, do not disproportionately reduce the output of the entire array. Each microinverter harvests optimum power by performing maximum power point tracking (MPPT) for its connected module.[14] Simplicity in system design, installation, lower wire amperage, simplified stock management, and added fire safety are other possible benefits.

    The primary disadvantages of a microinverter include a higher initial equipment cost per peak watt than the equivalent power of a central inverter since each inverter needs to be installed adjacent to a panel (usually on a roof). This also makes them harder to maintain and more costly to remove and replace. Some manufacturers have addressed these issues with panels with built-in microinverters.[15] A microinverter often has a longer lifespan than a central inverter, which will need replacement during the lifespan of the solar panels. Therefore, the financial disadvantage at first may become an advantage in the long term.

    More than likely they do. All the inverters do on solar panels is isolate each panel individually. Because of how they're wired up, normally a panel getting a little bit of shade can affect multiple panels if they're wired up in sequence so with these if one panel gets some shade the others will continue working at their maximum potential. There shouldn't really be a need for telemetry
